Sunday Bloody Sunday

I am so sorry if this venue is where you are hearing this news first, it is no indication of what you mean to Kate and I, only an indication of what these past few days have been like for us.

Sunday night Kate and I found out we lost the baby, or might never have had it to begin with it. It's a little complicated but I will try and explain. While watching TV on Sunday night I noticed blood on Kate's pajamas and she went into the bathroom to discover more. We went right away to the ER and anxiously waited for our name to be called. After an hour we got in to see Dr. Hunter. Dr. Hunter was a first year medical student from IU and one of the best looking men I have ever been around. He said if looked as if Kate had a miscarriage but he told us he wasn't the expert and to not lose hope. He was honest and caring with us, preparing us for the worst but keeping us positive at the same time. Another Dr. came in and did an ultra sound but could not find the baby. Yet another Dr. was called in from home to do a more complex ultra sound and she too could not find the baby.

They explained to us that there are 3 possibilities as to what is happening here:

1. That is too early in the pregnancy to see the baby. For that to be the case it would have to be less then 8 weeks in and that just isn't probable. We have known for 8 weeks and Kate was having symptoms for 3 weeks before we did the test.

2. That Kate had a miscarriage and what ever was in the gestational sack is now gone.

3. That Kate was never really pregnant to begin with. The Dr.s said that some times the Uterus will create a gestational sack when there isn't an egg or zygote in there. This seems to be the most likely of the three but they don't know for sure.

Kate went in on Tuesday to get some blood work done so they can compare hormone levels in her blood. The Dr.s should no more when they see those and Thursday we go in to hear what they found.
