I’ve just discovered your blog today and have been reading through your entries. It has been very moving and my heart goes out to you with all the baby ups and downs you have experienced. That is such a lot for one mama to go through. Is everything ok with your little one? I cannot make out what has happened.
Charlee on 23rd January 2010 at 11:11 AMI’m still pregnant and am continuing with the pregnancy but the baby has been given a zero chance of survival. I would really like to be preparing the nursery but instead we are trying to get everything ready for his funeral (burial gown, service, etc). I need to do these things now because I know I won’t be able to do it later on.
Negr0Blanc0 on 23rd January 2010 at 11:39 AMI am so sorry to hear your news. I hope your beautiful little angel feels safe and loved in his mummy’s tummy, and you have family and loved ones to nurture you through this heartbreaking time.
Charlee on 23rd January 2010 at 12:48 PMMy heart is breaking for you, Batty. I wish I could think of something more eloquent or helpful to say or do, but there are no words. Just know I’m thinking of you.
Cora Zane on 29th January 2010 at 2:48 AMI just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I am 34 weeks pregnant and like you, I’m not getting a nursery ready like I should. My baby boy has Bilateral Renal Agenesis. Last weekend I went looking for a burial outfit for him. It was so frustrating seeing all the cute new boy clothes out there and knowing I wasn’t going to get to buy any for my son. Instead I was buying the one outfit he will ever wear. My doctors have been surprised at how well my baby is growing. I am measuring right on track with where I should be. It’s so hard knowing that even though everything seems to be so normal that it’s not. You are probably one of the few that know exactly how I am feeling at this point. If you need someone to chat with or any questions, feel free to e-mail me. I am due March 12th so I’m fairly close to where you are in the pregnancy. I hope that even though you are in the same sad situation as I am, things will go as smoothly as they can for you. My heart is with you!
Emily on 29th January 2010 at 2:26 PMHi Cora,
Thank you sweetheart. I know I owe you an email, I’m just acutely aware that I don’t have anything non-baby related to say right now. Thanks for everything xx
Hi Emily,
Negr0Blanc0 on 30th January 2010 at 8:14 AMI am so sorry that you are also going through this. I have sent you an email xx
Just stopping by to say hi. I just want you to know that I mailed Nicholas’ blanket yesterday. I sent it via priority international mail and I hope it gets there soon.
My heart and thoughts are with you.
