_sigh_ There’s no easy way to say this. **UncleBill** and I have lost the baby. Since we had shared the good news of the pregnancy here on the boards, we now need to share this sad news. Understandably, we’re very sad about this, and the days and weeks ahead will be difficult, but Bill and I are helping each other through this. ---

{{{GeoBill and Geobaby}}} The baby before me (I am simultaneously the second child and the oldest) may well be greeting your child soon. I just hope, wherever that person is, there isn’t any “runs nekkid through” going on:) ---

GeoBabe, this is a very deep sadness. I wish there were something that I could say that would take all the pain away - but there isn’t. None-the-less, know that you are in my thoughts. ---

Physically, I’m doing OK. Emotionally, up and down. There are moments when everything is almost normal, and then moments when it hits one or both of us all over again. Bill and I have both spent a lot of time sobbing on each other’s shoulders this weekend. ---
