Sweet Marie

I always thought I was invincible, things like that won't happen to me. And now I feel ignorant, I was taking for granite the miracle of life. It has just been over a week we were blessed with sweet Marie. I got to my 19th week Dr. appt on Thursday the 24th of Feb. It was the first appt that Mike ever missed, luckily I had my little sister Tisha there with me, and my mom out in parking lot waiting to get Tisha. Right into the ultrasound I knew something was wrong, the Dr was very obvious there wasn't something right. She only was measuring at 16 1/2 weeks. She had no heartbeat, those words just sent shock waves through my body. I think I still am in shock. The Dr told me to talk to Mike and let him know when we wanted to be induced. I just wanted to do it sooner than later, personal preference I guess. So they got us a spot at the hospital Thursday evening. I thought I wanted to go natural, but nurses talked me into an epidural which I am very glad I went with. Probably not a good time to be in physical pain and emotional. 20 hours later sweet Marie was born @ 4:45 pm. It is amazing how giving people are in these situations. There is an awesome group called Share, that came and took some pics of our little angel. I am so glad I let them come, I thought at first I was going to just pretend this never happened. But when you realize that is your baby, even if I never got to know her. I will always recognize her sweet spirit around. I am so grateful for all of my wonderful family and friends through this you have all been amazing. Here are a few pics of our sweet Marie.
