Journal Entry for May 29, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, May 29, 2007
I lost my baby girl, Shelby last year. I was 17 weeks along when she passed, we didn't find out until my ultrasound at 20 weeks, that was the worst day of my life. I chose to not do the D&C b/c i really wanted to hold my baby. It took  5 long days to deliver. she was so tiny my mom had to make her clothes. SHe was born 05/31/07. i had a rough pregnancy. Bleeding, really bad morning sickness. I had to go on a pump b/c i couldn't keep any food down, it was just as my morning sickness was getting better that i lost her. i had been off the pump for 3 weeks.

    Sorry to hear about your heart breaking story and the pain you have gone through. I wish there were magical words I could type to you, to make things better and to bring little Shelby back to you.
    I take comfort in visioning my lost baby, as an angel in heaven, being taken care of until I join baby up in heaven. I had a natural m/c on May 8, 2007 - my little angel was there to greet your Shelby angel.
    I applaud your decision for not having the D&C, enduring the pain, to let nature take it's course and to be able to hold your baby. That is inspiring to me. You are a strong person - thank you for sharing your story and take care.
