Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I'm feeling the need...
...to talk about my boys a little bit. No one answered the phone, so I'm going to talk on here if you guys don't mind 
.
I feel bad that Ian was smooshed up during labor and delivery (he was butt-first breech), but he was still so beautiful. During the 20+ minutes before Colin was born, I couldn't keep my eyes off him. The first of my babies I ever got to see, Ian had big hands and feet. They were just really wide, but so cute and perfect. His mouth reminded me of my Grandma's.
Then Colin shot into the world. He was the first and will forever be the first of my babies that I got to spend time with while alive. I only got to see him gasp about three times during the hour he was with us, but those times were truly amazing. He looked like a little version of my DH. Sometimes it still breaks my heart to look at DH from a certain angle. He would have been a real looker.
I miss them so much, but am very grateful for the memories I have of them. They will forever live in my heart.
Please feel free to talk about your babies too. I'd love to hear more about the other little ones that left us too soon.

Re: I'm feeling the need...
Such wonderful memories, VK.
I remember when I was pregnant, I worried more about Kira than Chloe (my angel). Chloe moved so much and she was always changing positions. She used to make me laugh so much when I would go to bed. I'm glad my husband got to feel her moving around. I think that was her way of bonding with us. She was my baby B so was sitting high across my belly.
My sister died 3 years ago. She could never have kids and had to have a hysterectomy at 33. So last week, I was talking to Kira about her sister when it hit me that we both have a sister in heaven. I find some relief that the two of them are together.
Thank you for sharing that. I am so sorry for your losses.
I'm so sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing your story--it helps me with what I'm about to go through.
If you're up for it, I'd really appreciate if you were able to share some info on what I should expect and what I should be asking the doctors. My story is just a few posts below this.

Caleb (my angel) looked exactly like his brother. I knew they were identical twins but to think of two people looking exactly the same and having them be my babies, I just couldnt picture it until I saw them. My last ultrasound they were face to face. My OB called them kissing twins. I can remember what Caleb felt like in my arms. He was heavy for a twin (5 lbs), had long arms, big feet and so much hair. He was my second baby born but the one that I got to spend time with first since my other was off to the NICU.
Thank you all for sharing.
thanks so much for sharing some of your story. i know it helps to talk.
let's see, all i could think about when i found out Wyatt was breech was that i did not want a c-section. i was horrified of it. of course 2 days later after finding out he was breech, i ended up having a c/s and to make it even worse DH missed the entire event.

i'll never forget lying on the table alone w/ a bunch of doctors and nurses i never met before (i was admitted to a hospital that did my level II u/s not the hospital i was supposed to deliver at) and hearing little wyatt cry, it wasn't long and it was only a little cry but i heard him, only that single time.
i'll never forget being wheeled into the NICU and seeing him for the first time, he was so tiny and instantly reminded me of Nathan. i could only touch his foot though, i never knew that would be the only time i got to touch and feel him alive. i'll never forget it.
