It's over.
August 1, 1999
9 weeks 3 days

Last night was date night. We had a great babysitter from a service, she really played with the kids and they loved her. Kevin and I went to have a nice long dinner with no kids menus, appetizers and even dessert. Then off to a delightful movie, Notting Hill. It was a wonderful evening.

We came home and laid in bed talking for awhile and fell asleep. I woke up about 2 AM with some severe cramping. I'll spare you the gory details, but I spent the next few hours alone and crying. I know that both babies are gone. I don't know if we'll do any genetics studies, but I turn over what Hilary affectionately calls the "purple babies" tomorrow. My cervix is closed, but tender. I no longer have any pregnancy symptoms, nor am I in any pain, unless you count the broken heart...
