Baby David was born way too early. I went for my normal 16 week check up and there was no heartbeat. Had I known better, I would not have allowed my other children to accompany me to the doctor appointment. As my OB struggled to find the heartbeat, I looked at my 5 year old daughter and said, "the baby is already being a stinker". Little did I know, he was not being a stinker, but had already passed away. There was an initial ultrasound, a more accurate ultrasound and then the news. "Your baby passed away sometime last week." We decided it was best to deliver the baby and try to avoid a D & C in order to save any damage to the uterus that would hopefully someday provide us with more children.
So.....my husband and I went to the hospital. Stayed in the same hospital room where we delivered 3 healthy children, knowing that the baby we delivered would not make it. After 10 hours of labor we delivered, David Jr., 1 oz, 6 inches. We were lucky enough to hold the baby and tell him all the dreams and wishes we had for him. Dreams and wishes that we would never see. He is now our little angel. A part of our family always...
