I tried very hard for a girl but my heart was never 100% in it. I was very happy to hear the news of another boy when I was 36wks along, he hid every time before that.
Early on the ultrasound showed a 2nd sac. The sac did grow through out the pregnancy and showed something in it with no heartbeat. After Anthony was born we did learn that he was a twin. Since the sac still contained an 8wk fetus the Dr ordered some testing. All that showed was girl dna. I tried to keep all this from my husband but he found out when the lab sent a letter to the house with the results.
Husband has been very heartbroken since. We have not told anyone in our family at all because we don’t want Anthony to know that he had a sister. Sometimes we think he sees something maybe it’s the same thing I see every time I look at our pictures… The lil girl I have dreamt about for awhile now. I knew I would only have 1 of the babies but I wish it would have been both.
My husband talks about having another baby but I think it is only because of the loss we had. I am currently attending school again so I could return to work. I love staying home but I never planned to continue staying home when all kids are in school. I told my husband that when I return to work maybe he could stay home for a few years and return to school to change careers… maybe then I will have another baby and he can be the stay at home dad. He said he would like that so he can be the one to have that baby bond.
