I thought I'd be jealous...

Amy Marie • 1st time Mommy to a stillborn baby boy named Charles Dane Patrick Voellinger on May 24, 2016 at 37 weeks, 5 days.
Of other pregnancies. Of mothers with babies, especially son's. I had a stillbirth at 37 weeks & 5 days on May 24,2016. But I'm genuinely happy for others who get to enjoy their little ones in the way we couldn't. But I'm 41. This first pregnancy was unexpected. We were not trying but also not trying to prevent. I assumed at 40 it'd take years. Well three months later I was pregnant and my pregnancy was ideal and even my birth. Except I already knew my son had passed. He had a two vessel cord so the docs believe something happened while I was sleeping that caused restricted blood flow to his brain & heart that was quick but catastrophic.  It's rare, but it happens. So we just pray that come Aug 24th, 3 months later, we can begin again actually TTC this time. We know it won't likely happen right away, but we hope to be pregnant by Xmas which gives us 6 months from losing our precious Dane. Please pray for us.
