i guess it might be fitting to be publishing this post directly after the announcement of our pregnancy, but after a couple of doctor appointments and an ultra sound it is confirmed that we lost the baby.

we just found out this morning, and it is emotional, but we did have the feeling there was something wrong, and it is a relief to have some facts, and understand what happened.

i knew right away looking at the ultra sound screen that something was not right. we have had two healthy kids already, and i remember seeing the pictures of David at this stage… but we just waited to hear from the doctor.
what we found out was the cells for the baby never developed from the beginning - but fooled Julie’s body into thinking it was pregnant. so her body went through all the normal motions of a typical birth, but no baby was there. it’s kinda strange, but i guess it’s common. statistically somewhere between 20 - 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage [*].

Julie goes into surgery tomorrow for a D&C. we appreciate your prayers.
