Today my wife went in for her 8-week check up and ultrasound. The baby isn’t developing and they weren’t able to tell anything, other than to say that it’s not normal. ☹ We’ve got a follow-up scheduled next week, which I’ll go along. The doctor said that unless things really change, there’s a large chance of a miscarrage. ☹☹ My wife is natually quite upset. I cancelled a dinner appointment tonight to go home with her. We’re going on a overnight trip tomorrow, which I hope will help her cheer up. We won’t know more until next week. Until then, we can only wait. ---
