Some of you may already know, however some of you may not. Sean and I were blessed to be parents-to-be for 8 weeks and yesterday we had a miscarriage. I had a D & C and I at home now doing ok. This is a picture of what the infant bereavement program gave to us as we left the hospital. The blanket and booties were a gift from a local church and the teddy bear was so that we didn't have to leave the hospital with empty arms. It has been an emotional time for us and we are now looking forward to the next opportunity to start the family that we have always wanted.
They also gave Sean and I a tiny little gold baby ring so that we would never forget. I tied them on the ribbon on the booties. We did not know the sex of the baby but a good friend of mine always asked me how "Cletus the fetus" was doing. We kind of like that name and it grew on us, so that is what we are calling it. We have had a lot of support from friends and family in this difficult time and we thank everyone!
