Newbie and Introduction

One month ago today, I gave birth to my sleeping angel. As many of you before me have probably said, I never thought that I would be here. I had a textbook pregnancy and was just counting down the days until we would meet our second daughter, Annabelle. I was 37 and half weeks pregnant when I went into labor. The day before, my very active girl's movements had significantly decreased and I just thought that she was getting ready to come join us. Little did I know that a very large blood clot had developed in her umbilical cord. When I went into labor and got to the hospital, the nurse put the heartbeat monitor on me and could not find a heartbeat. In that moment, I knew that we would not be able to take the our little girl home with us. It has been hard to express most of my feelings to the flurry of friends and relatives that have been a constant presence in our life since that fateful day. I feel like people just don't really know what to do or say to me. To be honest, I wouldn't know what to say to me either. In all the searching I have done on the internet in the past 4 weeks, I am astounded by the number of people that this actually does happen to. I hope to some day be a comfort to others as I have seen you all be to newcomers and each other. Thanks for listening!

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Annabelle. There is nothing to do or say that will make the pain of losing our children any less. The possibility of this happening was not something I ever considered, and yet here we are. I hate that other people have experienced the same thing but it has been helpful for me to share with these women and know that they understand our pain.
