Stupid Internet World

Well, I'm mad at the internet for making information so easy to spread. Today I am in the unfortunate position of having to tell the whole planet my heartbreaking news that our baby's heart has stopped beating. As surprised as we were to find out about the pregnancy, we are even more shocked to find out that at 12 weeks, there is no longer a heartbeat. Even though the pregnancy was unplanned, we were so excited about having a crazy, wild house full of kids so close together.

If you would remember us in your prayers, I will be having minor surgery on Friday morning. Although I have had a previous miscarriage, I have 2 wonderful, beautiful babies who I love dearly. I hope my story is somehow helpful to someone out there.

I am sooooooooo sorry...you are definitely in my prayers. And I hope I didn't "out" you on Facebook - I didn't even think. You are NOT alone - you are one of 4 of my friends who have been through the same thing in the last 5 years. It makes me so unbelievably sad everytime I hear it...God is with you.

You'll be in my prayers. I know how tough it is having had two miscarriages as well, one at 12 weeks and one at 7 weeks. I'll especially pray for you and your husband on Friday.

I'm so sorry Carrie. I hope all went well with the surgery. Even though you have kids and this pregnancy wasn't "planned", it is still a loss. I pray you find comfort knowing your baby never had to experience the discomforts and pains of this world. I'll be praying for you.
