Maybe next time...

On Monday March 30th, when we were in AZ, I started spotting. I called the Dr.'s office in a panic and they told me that because I was out of town and I had an appointment that Wednesday, that if the bleeding wasn't too heavy, I should just keep my April 1st appt as previously planned.

I went to the ultrasound on April 1st, only to find out that we weren't as far along as we previously thought. A second ultrasound was scheduled for April 10th and we knew by this date we should hear a heartbeat. When we didn't we were so disappointed, but we tried to stay optimistic. On Monday April 13th, our worst fear was confirmed. I had miscarried. Dan and I are a strong couple and this is showing us how good we are together. I could not have gone through this without him. We have such a great support system with our FANTASTIC family and GREAT friends. Thanks to everyone for your love and support.

The Dr was very optimistic telling us that we shouldn't have any problems conceiving again and there were no genetic problems. The odds for another miscarriage are not increased for the next time. We are looking foward to trying again, maybe after a great summer.
