MEMORY-
I think what really stands out in my mind when I think back on my short time with Gabriel is the day I found out I was pregnant. It was the Thursday before Mother's Day. I had taken a test the Friday before and the week before that, and they had both been negative. At that point, I was almost 7 weeks out from my last period. I'd developed hypertension during my last pregnancy (4 years ago) and along with that had had pretty irregular cycles, so I was pretty convinced that I needed to have some hormonal tests run to see if I had developed some sort of imbalance. However, I decided to try once more (just in case) before I went and made a fool of myself. Well, you could imagine my surprise when that second blue line appeared almost immediately! It was a pretty awesome Mother's Day treat, to say the least. :)
At 17 1/2 weeks of pregnancy I began to suspect something was wrong. The next day, at my Dr.'s appointment, my worst fears were confirmed. They couldn't find my baby's heartbeat. This was the beginning of a journey that we were NOT expecting. This is an account of my journey, both to help me continue with my life & to remember my little angel, Gabriel. I also hope to be able to give some insight and encouragement to those going through a loss, like others' have helped me!
