But I was here a LOT during the TTC and pregnancy of my first daughter, Cordelia.

I popped in a few times over the last year, once to say we were pregnant again, and to give a couple pregnancy updates.

Well, I have sad, sad news. I was due July 24th with a baby girl. We had planned a scheduled induction on July 18th due to my wife's crazy work schedule (she's a railroad conductor) and having someone to watch Cordelia.

On the morning of July 11th, I got up and after a couple hours realized I hadn't felt the baby move all morning. I drank some orange juice and still nothing. I called my OB office and they told me to go in to the hospital for evaluation. They couldn't find a heartbeat on the Doppler or in ultrasound. She had passed sometime in the night.

I was induced that evening and delivered her at 38w1d. She was 7lb, 20in, and perfect. Her cord had a true knot and was wrapped around her neck twice, which was the likely cause of her death. She looked exactly like Cordelia did at birth, down to the chin dimple and Cupid's bow lips.

    I am sorry for your loss. I wish I had something especially kind or comforting to offer you both. Instead I can reflect that I, like the other parents and parent hopefuls in this forum, notice your second daughters arrival and feel her silence. She exists for all of us and matters to many.
