I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family and praying for your healing through this difficult time. :(
 
I was thinking about her just last night, Robin. I'm praying for you and your family too, Emily. ((hugs))
 
((((Emily))))) lifting your family up in my prayers. I saw your facebook and know I could never imagine the emotions you are feeling. Hope you feel loved and cared for so much right now.
 
Thank you so much guys. So I know many of you are wondering what is going on and here is what has happened.
We went up to NH on Saturday to spend some time with family. My DH's aunt and uncle and cousins were coming up from Texas and we hadn't seen them in over a year. We were so looking forward to seeing them. We had a great time Saturday and Sunday. Monday was a really great day too. I felt tired, but not unusual seeing that the house and beds are really old and I never sleep as well there. In the afternoon I felt a really sharp pain in my lower abdomen like I had super bad constipation. It came out of nowhere, but I went to the bathroom and it seemed to resolve so I didn't think too much about it. Especially considering I have ulcerative colitis and things are never normal. Shortly after that we went swimming down at the lake. It was a fun time and when we got back everyone wanted to play croquet. I decided to watch. As I was sitting there I felt a gush of liquid. I knew it wasn't pee and I ran to the bathroom knowing what I would find. It was light pink and I knew my water had broken. I ran outside and told DH. My MIL was there at this point. I asked her to take Meri and our dog who was with us. DH and I jumped in the car and headed on the road not knowing what we were going to do. I called my OB and she said she wanted me to try and make it back to Boston. We wanted testing done on the baby after he was born to see if we could find out if there was a reason all of this happened. And giving birth in NH was not going to make that easy or even possible. So 2.5 hours to the hospital and a very disgusting front seat later we got to the hospital. L&D was full so they sent us to the ER. And I got a bed right away and we waited. It took us 3 hours to get an u/s. So we went in and we were prepared to see that the baby had passed. We were not prepared to see him still hanging in there. At this point I was bleeding pretty steadily and they could see something going on with my placenta. But they couldn't confirm anything until the radiologist looked at it. So we went back to our ER room and waited. My OB happened to be on call that night and all her patients in labor resolved so she ran over to the ER to check on me. She looked at everything and she said that my placenta was a mess and that my cervix was open. That the baby was coming, and that he had no hope of making it(which we knew). But that if I tried to labor naturally that I could lose a LOT of blood. She said for my safety that I should have a d&e. She was willing to let me try to labor but she said that that choice may just not work and we'd have to have a d&e anyway. So its 1130 at night and I'm tired already and I just didn't think I had it in me to go through a labor that might take as long as 36-48 hours. So I agreed to the d&e. It was a good thing because when my OB got in there she said things were really a mess in there and that I would have lost quite a bit of blood. I came out of it after 1am sometime and was in my car at 2am. And in bed at home by 230am. I was so happy they let me go home and sleep in my own bed. And physical recovery has been really good. But emotionally its going to be a tough long road. I appreciate all your kind words and prayers more than you can know. I am deeply touched and I know they will help in this healing process.
 
Oh Emily! Sweetie, I am so sorry! I am absolutely heart broken for you. I will DEFINITELY be praying for y'all!!! (((((HUGS)))))
