Week 11

I was looking forward to writing this journal, when my baby turned 11 weeks old, because now she would be called a fetus instead of an embryo. I would have proudly reported that she was about 2" in crown-rump size and that most of her body parts were formed and she was now very baby-like, with real fingers and toes, and was now perfecting details...

Instead I never got to write a journal entry for this Sunday. I was in the hospital by early Sunday morning, having contractions to "deliver" my unborn fetus... We are so devastated. This little one was so precious and wanted to us, and the pregnancy had gone so well up until Friday night when the bleeding began. We saw her little heartbeat at 8 weeks, and even the doctors at the hospital were saying how rare it was for a baby to fail to thrive after the heart has successful started beating...

So this is the page where my pregnancy journals have to end. But I am glad that I have them as a memory of my connection to my "baby May". Hopefully my little angel now in heaven knows how much she was loved, even in her short time living and growing inside me...
