Trimester 2

My appointment went well on Monday, January 10,2000. We heard the baby's heartbeat again, and again it was wonderful to hear. I will be having an ultrasound soon...I am getting excited about it a little, although I am fearful since the last ultrasound I had done was when I was in labor with Sydney. It proved what we had alredy known, that she had died. I was hoping for a better result this time.

Tuesday January 11, 2000 was not a day that ended well at all. My husband and I were at the hospital with his mother. She was having heart surgery to replace a heart valve. It was supposed to be a routine procedure for a cardiac surgeon to perform. His mother unfortunately died during the surgery...another unexpected tragedy for us. She was looking forward to this baby's birth this summer and we were looking forward to this baby meeting her as well. We feel that she is in a happier place now since she is with her husband again and her granddaughter, Sydney, in Heaven. We will always miss her.
