5 weeks 2 days
That's as far as we got. I began to miscarry last night. I spent the majority of the night in the ER, which only confirmed what I already knew- that this pregnancy wasn't going well.
I knew almost from the beginning that something wasn't right. I prefaced baby conversations with "if nothing goes wrong". I haven't bought any baby clothes or maternity pants. I only marked my calendar to 12 weeks, thinking that if something went wrong, I'd have a lot of white out to use. I just knew. I wasn't like that with my son- I was the opposite. With him, I knew all was right.
I'm sad, but I'm ok. We'll try again. I just hope the next one doesn't take 18 months. And I need to figure out a way to tell Evan that doesn't scare him. Any suggestions are welcome.

I'm so sorry, Dawn. Sending you lots of love and good wishes.
Oh no. I'm so SO sorry.
What can I do? Can I call? Or do you want to be alone for awhile?
I am sending you big hugs from Wauconda....
I'm not even religious, but oh dear God. You could ask your pediatrician or anyone else with a background in child development about what to tell Evan. I found this link and several others by searching "explain miscarriage to a child". http://www.miscarriagesupport.org.nz/children.html
I am so, so sorry to hear this. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks everyone. I'm doing ok. It just isn't fair, but I'm working through it. Thanks for all your kindness.
