Sad News!

Late last month we announced to many of you that we were expecting Ferguson #3 in mid-January 2007. We are very sad to announce that I am expected to miscarry again. Last week during an ultrasound we realized that we were pregnant with twins, but that the babies were not developing properly - we should have easily been able to see heartbeats. We were hopeful that it was just too early, so we had another ultrasound this week - but the news was not good. This will be loss number 5 (and 6 for us). If I do not miscarry naturally in the next 2 weeks, I will have one last ultrasound to determine if I need to have a D&C.

Our doctor thinks that I may be a carrier of some chromosome problem. I'm not a biologist, and I can't explain it back to you, but it made sense at the time. I had some bloodwork done and we will know in 6-8 weeks if this is the reason for all of my miscarriages. It won't stop us from trying again, but it will at least give us some answers.
