After numerous tests and endless doctor visits, we discovered that my pregnancy is actually a blighted ovum. I had just an empty sac, with no signs of life inside. It's been an emotional roller coaster since my very first doctor visit on July 30th.
Although I'm very sad, and was so hopeful for a new little one, I"m so happy that God gave me the chance to be happy for the brief period that I was given.
I know that one day I will have another new baby, but for now I guess there is a new plan for us.

I am so very sorry and tearful to hear about your situation :( I can't even pretend and say I know how you feel. I can't even begin to imagine.
My BFF was just in a terrible mess. We were both due about 2 weeks apart from eachother last year. 1 month before her due date and 2 weeks before mine, she discovered that the baby haden't been moving.
There she was, 8 months pregnant and they told her that the baby had died. She had to be induced and give birth to her baby girl. Neither of us knew that we were having girls. It was very sad. We nicknamed eachother peas and carrots because we are always together. So we were calling our babies "baby peas and baby carrots" We had so many plans. we were going to dress the babies as peas and carrots for halloween and lots of fun things.
Unfortunatley, things are as they are for her. And again, suffered a miscarriage just this past month. Luckily much earlier than the last. At only 1 1/2 months. No matter how small, a loss is a loss. But make no doubt about it, God will bless the BOTH of you with BEAUTIFUL, strong and healthy little ones again!
*Add in* So there I was, visiting her in the hospital, all baby bellied and ready to pop. And her in her hospital bed with her beautiful angel beside her. (WHICH I WAS NOT EXPECTING it was a little eirie and very upsetting to see. Especially the emotional balloon I was) She was strong through the whole thing. It took her a while to come and see Caterina, but understandably!!!
We look at it now as: God needed a guardian angel... REALLY fast. He chose Selina (was her name), and now she is Caterina's guardian angel. She watches over her. We even crack a little chuckle now and then when Caterina is being bold and she says "Selina! You're not watching her!"
If you would like to join our webring, www.october15th.com it is a site dedicated to parents who have suffered a loss. It's a beautiful dedication. October 15th is the official remember our babies day. So it was quite ironic that that was they day she got the bad news and everything happened :(

I am so sorry. I know how hard it is, I didn't have the exact same situation, but I did have several miscarriages before and after my first son, and an ectopic pregnancy after him (they told me not to plan on any more children) the good news....I have 3 beautiful healthy sons, now 16, 19 & 25!! Hard for me to believe even now. You have a great attitude, good luck, and enjoy your children!!
