Massive Update
Alright so it seems like its been quite a while since I've updated this thing, So i figured now would be about as good a time as any.
Almost 12 weeks ago Jon and I found out we were gonna have a baby, It was the best feeling in the world lol of course it took 4 pregnancy tests (2 easy blue digitals that i thought were broken and 2 EPT's with the stupid little lines) but apparently that wasn't enough to make me believe... So the Blood test was the kicker. Actually its funny with the first pregnancy test i let my boyfriend know by driving over to his house 2 hours earlier then planned, barging in, running into his room, shoving it in his face and started screaming "WHERE THE HELL IS THE NOT! THIS DOES NOT SAY NOT!!" I suppose i was kinda scared about Everyone would react so me myself i was scared when the pregnancy tests said positive but after the blood test i was thrilled because my mom knew and she was happy, Jon knew and he was happy and that in its entirety was enough for me. Finding out your gonna have a baby... It was the best feeling i'd ever felt. I was so excited about it all, even the blood work, the pap test, the questions all of it.... every doctors appointment i couldnt' wait for.... and when i found out they were gonna give me an ultra sound i was over the moon about it excited. I went to the ultra sound on Wensday June 27th, and they told me they didn't see my baby's heartbeat, that it only looked like i was 6 weeks pregnant and the sac the baby was in was irregular. In short, My baby stopped developing at 6 weeks and my body just hadn't carried out a miscarriage.So they called my Doctor and my doctor had me come see her right away.. She hugged me and looked at my sympathetically and said something pretty much along these lines "We're so sorry, theres nothing you could have done, Theres nothin anyone could have done, Sometimes things like these just happens, The genes just probley weren't porpotioned right during conception and the baby was going to be abnormal your body probley sensed that, so it shut itself down.. For some reason though your body doesn't wanna accept that. Theres a couple of options we can take from here, 1) We can wait a few days and see if your body miscarries on its own, 2) we can give you a pill to educe a miscarriage, or 3.) we can get you scheduled for a D&C and put you under while we go in and scrape everything out". I had been pretty good on not breaking down and crying until this point, (dont get me wrong tears were formed in my eyes since the ultra sound place but i was determined not to cry till i got home i didnt' want everyone giving me "We know" looks.) but i still sucked it up... no tears were going to fall yet. but the doctor still seen the tears i was holding back and put her hand on my knee and continued "I know how hard this is to hear, All your dreams and hopes you had of watching this child be born, and to grow... all of them gone in an instant... you dont have to make a choice now, wait a few days see what happens but if nothing happens you really should decide on something.... and you know this doesn't mean that this will happen in future pregnancies. Its extremely common for women to loose their first baby to a miscarriage, there are no studies done on why this happens.. unless it happens 2 or 3 times to the same woman then steps are taken to find out why. But I dont see any reason why this would affect future pregnancies, Your a healthy young woman and he looks like a healthy young man you can try agian." Once more she paused and sighed "Like i said you can give it a few days, then call us. I am really sorry... Are you going to be ok?" I of course was speachless, i couldn't feel my legs, i felt like i was going to vomit but there was something blocking my throat, my eyes burned, my heart was beating so fast i thought it was gonna beat right outta my chest... she looked at my boyfriend and said "I'm really sorry...If you two need anything call...." She placed her hand on my shoulder once more then spoke "Agian i'm really sorry for your loss... Dont worry about checking out i'll take care of it for you." then she openned the door and left... It didn't take long before i was rushing out the office tryingto get home before i burst into tears cause i knew if i had i wouldn't stop. We got into the hall outside the dr. office and Jon stopped me, and wrapped his arms around me and that was it.. that was the breaking point i just started to cry so hard, we stood there for a few seconds and then i pushed him away and said i dont wanna do this here then we walked out of the building i got to the parking lot (still crying) and called my work i told them i wasn't comming in for personal reasons and hung up. I cried all the way from the dr. to Jon's house a good 20 min drive... we got to his house and we just laid there and hugged and i cried and cried then i called my dad still crying about 30 minutes later and told him then alittle calmer i called my mom, after that Jon fell asleep and i lay there still crying finally i too fell asleep and when i woke up i felt horrible How could i sleep after somthing like this... why was i hungry, I shouldn't be able to eat or sleep how horrible am i...
Here it is over a week later and i still cry all the time, I still hurt alittle from the D&C... and my heart still hurts everytime i see, hear or anything about a baby... Its hard its extremely hard to know you'll never hold your baby or see your baby... Sometimes i blame myself for the loss.. I keep thinking Maybe just maybe if i had stopped working or stayed in bed all the time... ate better, did something more then maybe my baby would have made it....
My step sister Jennifer was 3 weeks ahead of me in pregnancy... and she and her baby are both fine... and honestly i cant help but to be jealous and i dont really want to hear or anything about her baby... I mean i'm happy for her i am... and i'll love my neice or nephew but.... Its not fair she gets her baby and i get... nothing... just emptiness..
Jon and i have talked... We are gonna try agian as soon as it is safe... We want a child more than anything in this world, He has been the greatest most supportive, sweetest, kindest, most understanding guy through all of this... he has been there no questions asked whenever i needed him This has made me fall in love with him 10 times more then i already was... I honestly dont know what i would have done without him being there by my side the whole time.. He is what has helped me through this.... I'm never gonna let him go... One day... I'mma marry that guy.. and we're gonna have healthy beautiful kids, and a couple of cats and maybe even a dog. We're gonna be happy...One Day
I go back to work tomorrow... The first time since wensday.... I really dont know how well its gonna go... I went in there yesterday to drop off my doctor excuse saying i can come back to work... and everyone in the place that works there knows...So i dunno how well this is gonna work... i hope i'll be fine but i'm afraid i wont be... I go to the doctor on the 12th so they can make sure i'm all healed up and stuff...
I'll try to update more but for now i have to go...
