news.
i thought about telling you guys this before, but i didn't. maybe i didn't want to jinx it, but i want to tell you now. my brother bobby and his wife nicky are pregnant again. you may remember that the pregnancy this past fall ended in a miscarriage (if not, read through posts from the beginning of october). she also miscarried twins last march.nicky is at about 16 or 17 weeks right now. this is about a week or so earlier than she started to miscarry last october. tomorrow, they have an ultrasound scheduled to find out if it's a boy or a girl. i asked nicky which she preferred and she told me, 'i don't care if it's a boy, i don't care if it's a girl, i don't care if it's handicapped. i just want to bring a baby home.'
right now, they're at north memorial. she's miscarrying again and they're waiting again. the baby is healthy, strong, growing. but, barring a miracle, there is no chance for survival. apparently, her cervix has relaxed and the amniotic sac is coming out, too far to do anything about it. they have plans to prevent this next time she gets pregnant, but no magic trick to help this little baby.
this little baby just trying to live.
