Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage this week. I was 6 weeks and a few days, so I am happy that I wasn't farther along. I started to bleed on Saturday and ended up going to the ER on Monday. At that point, they really couldn't tell on the ultrasounds if I was miscarrying, or if the baby would be fine. I was diagnosed with a UTI and sent home. This week has been filled with doctor visits, lots of waiting, and lots and lots of blood draws. I actually ended up passing out today after the last lab visit. I just think I don't have any more blood to give. The doctor gave me the official results today, my hormone levels are conducive to a miscarriage. I know I will be ok, it will just take some time. How fitting to post this on Friday the 13th. It has been a very unlucky week.

Some sad unlucky news
The last couple of weeks I have been thinking about a witty, cute, clever way to announce the pregnancy of our 3rd baby. We decided that we would announce it on St. Patrick's Day, since it is the lucky holiday and also the 9th anniversary of when we got engaged. (very nostalgic, eh?)

Allison, I'm so sorry to hear that. You poor thing, I hope you're feeling better that's so scary you passed out. Get some rest and please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'm so sorry.
It was good to talk to you today. I hope you get feeling better quickly! Get some rest! Love ya!
I'm so very sorry. That is horrible to go through. Rest up, eat lots of junk food, watch lots of sappy movies, and then start trying again! I had miscarriages before Maggie and before Gretta. It makes it that much sweeter when it happens and works.
Best of luck, and take it easy.
I am so sorry. Hope you feel better soon!
Oh Allison I am sorry, please take it easy and I hope you feel well soon.
When I miscarried before I had Jaden, I was also 6+ weeks along. But still it is so hard when your hopes are so high. I'm sorry, Al!
Allison, I just wanted to tell you again how sorry I am. I was also 6 weeks when I miscarried before I had Oliver. All the blood tests were awful and I especially dreaded the waiting for them to confirm that everyone's suspicions were correct. My doctor, whom I love, was actually the most helpful to me at the time. She told me that this pregnancy wasn't the baby God wanted me to have. Somehow that made all the questioning of what I did wrong to make this happen go away. I am sure it is a difficult time for you, but you are right, you will be okay. Signing off with a big HUG, Pamela
I'm sorry too. I'm sending a mental GF dinner your way and 27 hugs. Love you.
So sorry to hear your news. Wish you didn't have to go through a miscarriage. They are terrible. It does take time. Do something fun that you can remember when this time comes around next year so you won't have to focus on just this date. Take a trip or go somewhere you haven't been in a long time. That helped me a lot. Now when April 18 rolls around I still remember but I also remember the fun family trip we took spur-of-the-moment to Arches. Maybe that could help. Thinking of you! *HUGS*
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry!! If there's anything I can do, please let me know!
Soo sorry Allison! Hope you get feeling better!
I am so sorry, Allison.
I'm thinking about you! You have had a tough week.
I am so sorry! I hope that you start feeling better soon and know that you are in our prayers. We love you!!
I am so sorry to to hear about your miscarriage. That is so hard. I have never had one, but we have really struggled to get pregnant this time.
I am so sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how heartbreaking that must be for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
Ohhh Alison I am soo sorry!!! I feel all teary! I hope you are feeling better, wish I was closer to give you a big hug!
I just linked to your blog from facebook. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. Take care,
Emily (& Shane) Beech
