Thomas was lost on November 18, 2000 at 13 weeks due to a cornual pregnancy which is a very rare form of ectopic. Angels, you are gone but never forgotten!
NOEL'S STORY
We have two boys, Dominic, 7 and Caleb 5. In early 1998 we decided that we wanted another child but rather than have our own we would adopt. In September we were chosen to adopt a 2 year old girl we called Nicci.
The transition process was going to take a couple of months and during that time I began to have misgivings about it. Nicci was a "special needs" child who was drug exposed and had several moderate health problems. My son Caleb was also 2 at the time and I realized that another 2 year old would be hard to handle especially since Nicci and Caleb were both very demanding children. My son Dominic is home schooled and I knew that I couldn't continue doing it if Nicci came to live with us. It was a very hard decision but we decided it would be better all around if we didn't proceed with the adoption. We felt Nicci would do better in a home with no other children or at least older children.
The weekend we would have gotten Nicci premanently was the weekend I got pregnant. It was totally unexpected because we hadn't even decided if we really wanted a third child or not. We took this as a sign from God that we were not meant to adopt but to have a child of our own. After the initial shock we were very happy and excited about the pregnancy.
On Christmas morning as we were getting ready to go to my inlaw's house I noticed a very small speck of pink. I was concerned but not overly so because I know that spotting is very common in early pregnancy. I didn't tell my husband because I didn't want to worry him. By the time we got ready to leave my inlaw's I was spotting more so I went to Emergency. The doctor examined me and said not to worry, it was an infection and had nothing to do with the pregnancy. I was so relieved!
The next day however the spotting had increased. I went to Urgent Care and that doctor confirmed my fears. I was facing a threatened miscarriage. I went to see my regular doctor the next day and he also confirmed it. He told me not to give up hope though, I could still carry to term. I stayed in bed and tried to stay optimistic. I wasn't doing more than spotting and I hadn't had any cramping. I prayed that God would save my baby.
Five days after Christmas, on Dec 29, 1998, I lost my baby. I decided to name her (I had a feeling it was a girl) Noel since she was "born" so close to Christmas.
