Lifting you up in prayer!  I too have been down this road and I know how heavy your heart is right now.  God's peace be with you, sweetie.

Angie,
There really aren't any words that will help.  Only time as many of us here know.  And thanks Brian for the "husband" perspective.  I know this is very difficult on the guys as well. My husband went through the wringer right along with me.  So Angie, sorry for you and your husband.
Best,
Marci

Hey. It's me. Not good. Very hard going in for the ultrasound to see "nothing" when the last time we looked we saw the little one and a heartbeat. Oh well. I am 38 years old and don't know that I'll try again. Feel like maybe this is God's way of telling me that I am too old. Pretty heartbroken. Now back to the daily grind......go for surgery consult on my eye in March for canthoplasty and back to Nashville for facial therapy. The pregnancy was giving me something MUCH more exciting to think about. Will be hard when our infant car seat arrives at the front door along with other things that we have ordered. Guess we moved too soon! Now if anyone has any suggestions on how to tell a 7 year old and 4 year old let me know. We let it slip and plus I was already showing. UGH. I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
Angie

I'm sooooooooooooo thankful for my two precious little boys. Blessings for sure.

So, so sorry, Angie. You have been so eloquent here that I am sure that God will give you the right words to tell the boys. I am constantly amazed at how perceptive and understanding children can be.

You are all in my prayers.

Love, Sara

Tell them God needed another angel... that is what I told my oldest son year old when I lost baby
Brandon at almost 6 months along...David was all excited and couldn't understand why mom was no longer
fat and he didn't have a new sibling ...

almost 30 years ago and I still wonder sometimes  about who he might have been had he been born on
time... a year and 10  days later I had twin boys two month early ... they were a handful once I finally got them
home and I thought at the time I had been given two with one to replace the one I lost ...but he was his
own soul and not replaceable ...

If it is meant to be you will have another... my girls were born when I was 36 and 38 ... some things are easier
with these two because I am older ...and some things are harder with them because I am older...

Sorry you have had to go through this ... hugs to you and your family

Angie, can you have someone call and cancel the order for the car seat? Or if you know when it is arriving, arrange for someone else to be there and take care of returning it?

I think you and your husband need to grieve for this little one before you try to make a decision on whether or not to try again. I know a lot of women who had babies in their late thirties and early forties -- that by itself need not be a reason not to. I was twelve days shy of 37 when my not-so-little boy was born.

Take care of yourself. I wish I could be there to pamper you.

Angie, I have tried to find the words that I think might help you but nothing seems right.  The only thing I can think of is to tell your precious boys as soon as possible as they can sense when something is wrong.  Children tend to handle bad news better than we think they can.  Once you've told them you can all Hug and Hold each other.  I will be thinking about you & your family and hoping the support you get here helps in some small way.  Jill
