Welcome to Arrin's page.
She was going to be our third child and we shared mixed emotions about that in itself.
We only had three bedrooms and they were already full,
but aside from that could we really afford another child.
That didn't matter because there was no way we could abort this baby. Then in my mind I realized that our children were spaced in age almost identical to my sisters and I. Girl, boy, girl. You see I lost my oldest sister to a car/train accident when she was 16 and when my wife said she was PG a third time I got this gut feeling that it was going to be a girl and that something terrible was going to happen to our oldest daughter and it terrified me.
I shared my fears with my wife and after some discussion we agreed that we would try to keep a positive opinion about the situation. Well everything went well for a while then when she started to feel the baby move it was clear that this child was going to be very active. Then one day while I was away at a convention for work she noticed that the baby was more active than normal and it just kept getting worse as the day went on.She decided to take a warm bath and hoped that it would calm the baby down.
Well it worked and about the same time that I got home she was in the tub and the baby had stopped moving. Little did we know then, but she had stopped moving because she had given up life before it began. After a couple of days of no movement we went to the doctor and confirmed what we feared had just happened. |
