Speaking Out

I'm definitely not known for posting very often, but I am certainly known for posting very honestly.

This will be an honest post, and certainly the most difficult one yet.

Two months ago, we were overjoyed to learn we were pregnant with twins! We were elated, to say the least. From the moment you find out you're pregnant, you can't help but imagine if it's a boy or a girl, or two boys, or two girls! There is no stopping the joy, the curiosity, the wishing and hoping for a fantastic future, and a healthy baby.

When I went in for my third ultrasound this weekend, I was told that the babies had stopped growing, and there were no heartbeats. They had to check my hormone levels to confirm that I was miscarrying.

When I went back in to the doctor on Monday morning, they checked the hormone levels again to ensure they were correct, and I was immediately taken to surgery to have the babies removed. The surgery was successful, and the doctor said I will make a full recovery.

We are obviously devastated by this happening, and ask that you all send prayers and encouragement to help us heal our shattered hearts.

With Love,

Jean, Charles and Annabelle
