Two Words

FETAL DEMISE. Until I heard those words uttered by the ER Doctor, I never new two small words could destroy me in just a moment. I knew when the ultrasound tech didn't show me the heartbeat after her exam that it was over. I still held out some kind of hope that maybe they were reading it wrong or maybe the baby was jsut measuring small. Nope. I had miscarried around two weeks before just a very short time after my 8 week appointment where I was so excited to see a little fluttering heartbeat. Words cannot express the destruction those two words carry with them.
