Rhino, great bump, I'd say. Still hurts to think about.

God, I remember reading this when it first came out... I really don't want to read it again... I don't feel like crying right now.

Guys
Consider this your only warning

STOP TROLLING THIS THREAD NOW.

This is a serious topic for the OP. Your "jokes" are unwanted.

Anyone else remotely trolling, making a horrible comment or doing anything in this thread that just seems inappropriate will be taking a 2p2 time out.

The OP poured his heart out, please to not be stepping on it.

Uglyowl-

I'm so sorry for your loss. If you ever do feel like writing, I'd encourage you to do so. 2+2 has been a huge source of support for me. There have also been several people who, after reading this thread, have been better able to understand things. It's a lot easier when it happens that way, vs. pouring everything out in person every time.

I really agree with you about the pictures. We took several. It seems so obvious in retrospect (no matter what we do, we will never have an opportunity to take another picture with/of him).

Take care, and feel free to PM/IM/email/call me if you ever want to talk.

Thanks for all of your good wishes,

She's 34 weeks pregnant now. Which is obviously fantastic in every way.

But sometimes, like tonight, I can't make myself go to sleep because I'm afraid that I'll wake up and it'll be *that day* and the heartbeat we just heard won't be there anymore.

Calling it an emotional roller-coaster doesn't even come close.

I know it is belated, but deepest sympathies.

My parents had a stillborn daughter (they have all boys), that would have been my older sister. I know they have never truly gotten over it. It is something you will carry with you forever. But that is okay. Best wishes going forward!

A year and a half later this is still probably the most memorable thread I've read on OOT. I got chills again just skimming the OP (it's too gut-wrenching to read completely again), and I'm really thrilled your wife is pregnant again and 34 weeks in. As others have said, I can't wait to hear how it all works out and I hope you'll share with us some photos of your healthy baby daughter very soon.

Just read this for the first time, utterly horrible/saddening.

My sister is a medical student and has done a medical rotation on this kind of ward. Its so terrible for all concerned that even though the juniors have to learn they just dont let students anywhere near it.
