No Good Way To Tell Bad News...

Unfortunately, Scott and I discovered yesterday that we lost the baby. There was nothing in particular that caused it; in fact, the doctor said that 20% of known pregnancies result in miscarriage.

I went in for a routine screening and discovered that Lil F (as we've been affectionately referring to it as) did not have a heartbeat. I have an appointment on Wednesday to undergo a minor surgery that will remove the fetal matter. The only other choice is to wait for my body to reject it and honestly, I doubt that either myself or Scott could take that. I've been assured by the doctors that I will still be able to get pregnant and hopefully, carry a child to term.

We are doing as well as to be expected. We're still recovering from the shock of it all and we've chosen to not call anyone at the moment because it's still too raw and emotional. To those of you that we've called or notified, we thank you for your support and love. We certainly know that in times like this, you just want to do something, anything, to help but there really is nothing that can be said or done.

In honor of Lil F, we thought it would be fun to post some pictures of Scott, myself and the pugs. When sad times hit, it is always helpful to look at the positive: we're both healthy and we have a great little family. Even though our family would've been sweeter with a baby, we are happy to have each other and our pugs and we know in our hearts that someday we will become awesome parents.
