Sad.

In light of current and recent events, this post will be brief...

We lost our baby.  

I'm still closing down temporarily after tomorrow, since we're still moving, and I'll be reopening as scheduled.  Please forgive me if I don't respond to messages, emails, comments, etc. in a timely manner.  We're still busy packing, and I'll be going in for some more tests and possible surgery next week.  

I'm probably not going to make the big "official" Facebook/Twitter announcement until after I'm done with all the doctor stuff next week, as there's still a slight glimmer of hope that maybe my ultrasound was wrong.  They're going to repeat it on Tuesday to be sure before I go in for a D&C on Wednesday.

I'm extremely emotional right now, and I'm doing everything I can to keep up with the demands of my business.  Please forgive me if I appear inattentive for the next week or so.  I'll still be filling orders and packing up my office, but my online presence may be lacking.  

Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers while we go through this.  We wanted this baby so badly...but hopefully, after my test results come back, we'll find out that we can still try to have more.  (Or maybe they'll miraculously find a heart beat when they do my ultrasound on Tuesday.)

I feel absolutely shattered inside, but every time I look at my two beautiful girls, I realize how blessed I already am.     My heart may be broken,  but my spirits still stand strong and full of hope.  I just need some time to grieve and rearrange some things before I return to the normal, bubbly Veronica again.
