[Hopey]

Hi everyone,

Not to bring down the people reading this thread, but my name needs to be removed from the list. We went for the first ultrasound about a month ago, and discovered that the baby had stopped developing early on in the pregnancy. It was a pretty horrible experience. We went from being all excited to see our baby on the ultrasound, to me having to comfort my wife as she bawled when she realized what the doctor was telling her. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

We have since convinced ourselves that it was better to have the miscarriage happen early in the pregnancy, as opposed to a few months from now when it would be much more devastating for us. Plus, a good percentage of pregnancies end in miscarriage -- especially first time pregnancies. We just obviously hoped that this wouldn't happen to us.

In any event, we'll start trying again in about a month or so...and the "trying" is always fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Our heartfelt condolences to you and your wife.

These things happen, through no fault of your own. Keep your spirits up and get back in the game!

I look forward to the day we can put you back on the list.

gharp,

Congrats again, and great trip report. Cute #1, too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Hopey,

Again, my condolences, and we hope to have you back up there in no time.

[ChipWrecked]

Hopey:

Very sorry to hear this news.

If it's any condolence, my wife had a miscarriage last December, and we caught again the next month. Hopefully you will have this kind of luck as well.

I wanted to offer my condolences too. Hopey has always been one of my favorite OOT posters and this made me so sad to hear.

Best wishes for the new year to come, Hopey.

Congrats everyone, and condolences, Hopey. Try again soon.

Jay is 7 weeks old now and last night he made his first unmistakable social smile, responding to my wife's laughter. That pretty much made my week.

Mom is very tired but things are getting better... he usually goes to sleep at 11ish, wakes up once during the night for a bottle, and then sleeps till morning. A sight better than sleep 15 minutes, awake 1 hour, sleep 15 minutes...

He is the greatest thing I've ever been a part of, and I can't wait to have another one. (How 'bout a girl, God?)

Update: we are having a boy, ETA 4/15/07. We went for a stage II ultrasound two weeks ago, because unbeknownst to me, there was a "problem" with the first one my wife had.

Turns out the fetus has renal pyelectasis, which is a soft marker for Down's Syndrome. There are apparently 12 "markers" which may indicate a chromosomal disorder, and the ultrasound showed only this one (which is a kidney disorder). The doctor indicated that the kidney thing could resolve itself as the baby develops further, or it might indicate that he has Down's. They can't tell for sure without doing an amniocentesis, which presents significant problems of their own. My wife is optimistic, and is trying to assure me that the doctor has to tell us that there is a risk, however slight, in order to cover himself. But I'm freaking out regardless.
