"Baby Boo"

My little angel... I was so young and unprepared for you and may have been devistated at first, but soon grew to accept your little life growing within me. You helped mommy to grow up and change my ways because I wanted to give you the best. I remember night after night laying in bed holding my stomach, talking and at times singing to you and wondering what you were going to look like, imagining your smile and laugh. You will be forever missed and loved with all my heart. On December 8, 1996, At six weeks pregnant I began bleeding heavily and had to be rushed to the emergency room immediately. Upon arrival an ultrasound was performed in which we saw "Baby Boo" laying at the opening of my "sack." The physician informed me that there was nothing more they could do, despite my desperate and pleading cries for him to save my baby. I was devistated and heartbroken. I was taken to have a D&C and while waiting in a hospital room, their was another woman across the hall giving birth and I heard the baby cry and the family's excitement. I felt so empty inside and overwhelmed with grief as I was losing my baby. The D&C was performed 10 minutes later. I really appreciated that St. Joseph's Hospital was so compassionate and acknowledged my baby. They gave me the info on Share and allowed me to give my baby a name. I now have two beautiful little boys and they enrich my life everyday, but "baby boo" is still and always will be apart of our lives.
