Hi everyone.  I'm Carolee, and we lost our beautiful boy 5 days ago.

On Wednesday, 8/11, at 37 weeks, I woke up and didn't feel any movement.  I ate breakfast and called the advice line, and was told to come in immediately.  I did and they couldn't find a heartbeat.  The doctor did an ultrasound to confirm, and just like that, our baby boy was gone.

They began an induction that morning, and almost 48 hours later, Eliott Alexander was born.  He weighed 7 lbs, 5 oz, and was 21 inches long.  He was beautiful and perfect in every way.  We got to spend 5 hours with him.  We are devastated and heartbroken - I feel like I was given a wonderful gift, only to have it snatched away.

This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through.  I feel like I died that day.  I know that time will help heal, but right now it is so difficult.

Mom to Eliott Alexander, born sleeping at 37 weeks on 8/13/10. Most of us only dream of angels - I held one in my arms.

    I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. My eyes teared up just reading your story. I have found a lot of comfort and support in this board.

    I also feel like this is the hardest thing I've had to go through. My water broke and I ended up delivering our beautiful baby girl at 20 weeks. She looked perfect and we got to hold her. I miss her everyday. I truly hope nothing harder or more terrible happens to any of us again. Please feel free to PM anytime you want to talk.
