So this past week was just crazy. But we have some very kind family and friends. Although our friends don't always agree :), I do love them and it is sad that we are not home to be near them more often.
We found out on the 5th of this month that we were going to have a miscarriage. I don't know that this is news that we want to share with the whole world but since this is my journal and I want to remember dates and info for the future I will post the info. Anyhow, the miscarriage is well underway and I am hoping that my body can take care of it naturally. Emotionally we are doing well and physically I am fine too.
In researching the Internet and books as well as getting a lot of info from my awesome doctor Rick Wilson I feel really informed and got some interesting facts. Did you know that as many as 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage? That was crazy to me. Most occur before the woman even knows that she is pregnant and therefore it is never reported. But of the reported pregnancies still an astonishing 25% still end in miscarriage. I thought those numbers were so high. The comforting thing is to know that most occur because something is not correct with the baby's chromosomes and your body recognizes this and ends the pregnancy. It is rarely because of something that you (the mother or father) did wrong. I never researched miscarriage when I was pregnant with Alexa so I never really knew some of this info and thought that it was interesting enough to share.
Our friends the Palmers & Galoviches sent us some flowers the day after we found out. They are always so thoughtful. And word spreads quickly so we have gotten a lot of well wishes and concern from family and friends. They are all so kind and we are doing great!
