So, I went to my "12 week" OB appointment yesterday to discover that there was no heartbeat to be found. When they did the ultrasound, they found just a sac w/ no embryo or fetus. It was so surreal to look at that screen and see nothing there. My heart sank to the floor and I realized that there was no child inside of me! The doctor said it is called a blighted ovuum. I suppose that's not as hard as seeing an actual fetus on the screen that has no heartbeat. I feel so frustrated and confused but I know that this is God's will for our lives right now; and that He will give us another child when the time is just right! I have to have a D&C tomorrow morning to clear out the sac and tissue. Please keep our family in your prayers over the next couple of days. Today is Dan's birthday and this weekend is my 10 year high school reunion. I thought about still going to it just to get my mind off of things and try to have a good time. So....we'll see.
I'm hoping to post some recent pictures eventually. Daniel had a wonderful 2nd birthday party and we just had a really nice trip to Savannah with MiMi and Pop Pop. So, as for the Bledsoes....we will still keep living life and WILL get through this hardship. I am so thankful/grateful to have a wonderful husband, awesome 2 year old and a strong faith in Christ. That is what really matters!!!

I love you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about that Jennifer. I've had a few friends go through the same thing lately. The good news is that God is in control. You guys will be in our prayers (I know a lot of people say that because it's "polite"... but you really will). Take care!
