Hayley and Kate Minter

Holly had the actual, physical miscarriage event Friday up at her parents house in Virginia. She went ahead with a scheduled trip up there, so I was in North Carolina when it happened. She was apparently in a great deal of pain from around 9am-4pm, so it was very hard calling her up every hour or so and checking in on her.

But, she started feeling better Friday night, and is doing very well now, with only the occasional twinge of pain. She’ll check with the doctor on next steps early this week. I know we have at least one more set of bloodwork (they want to check her blood until the pregnancy hormones are down to 0), and they may possibly do another ultrasound to check and see if everything has come out.

I’d like to thank everyone who sent emails, Fed-exed flowers (Andrew, Jen, Nora, and Senor Dale) or posted comments of support during this time. It really meant a lot to us to have our friends beside us. And many people wrote in saying that their mom/wife/self had gone through this situation. It’s apparently much more common than one would think.

So we’re making it through alright. Thanks again for all the support.
