very sad update

[JaimeSTL 4]

I'm sorry if this is jumbled, but I am really out of it right now.

On Sunday 2/8 at about noon, I had some slight vaginal bleeding and called my doctor. He had me go to the hospital to get checked. I was having a small amount of cramping, but nothing unusual. When I was checked, they found that I was 4 cm dilated and the bag of waters was bulging out of my cervix. I was put head down in the bed for the rest of the day, but at about 8 am on Monday morning, my Water broke. I was monitored throughout the day for infection and my temp was creeping up and up. Late afternoon, my temp was 100.4 and it was determined that I had an infection and must deliver. Being only 20 weeks, we knew the baby couldn't make it.

Pitocin was started in the evening and I labored through the night. Sydney Alexis was born at 4:30 am on February 10 and even though she was only 20w4d gestation, she lived for two hours and then passed away in my arms. She was perfect in every way and looked just like her older brother.

Please say a prayer for us. I am hurting so badly, I don't know how I can make it through this time. I am still in the hospital, probably until tomorrow and will spend as much time with the baby as I can.

TIA for any thoughts and prayers as we can use all we can get right now.

This is awful! I just saw your blast on myspace and decided to come on here to see if perhaps you had posted what happened. I think this is every mother's biggest fear when they are pregnant; and sadly it happened to you and your family. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through.... but she is in God's hands now.. My prayers are with you and your family. This is absolutely tragic!! I just can't imagine going through this...

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. So sorry that you are going through this, and I hope that you and your family will be alright. I cannot imagine how hard it is to go through something like this.

Nothing we say will erase the pain, but just know that all of us are here for you and are heartbroken to hear of this tragic time for you.
