I was (mostly on time for work). Then when I got there my boss had made homemade cheese cake brownies from scratch. I was getting work done though maybe not what I really wanted to work on, I was starting to get ready for maternity leave and even let the contact on my project know that I was pregnant,
At 1:00 I had a belly check and was excited to go in and hear the heartbeats. But once I was taken into the room the first nurse or midwife could not find the heart beats. Oddly enough I still wasn't worried at that point. She ran out and got one of the other midwifes and she couldn't find them either I was a little worried but everyone seemed so calm - probably not to freak me out, though Jason should have been called at this point. I still figured the babies were small and maybe they were just having trouble finding them. They got me into the ultrasound immediately and the second I saw baby B (the first baby we saw-I knew). I could see the still body with no beating heart. Then I looked at found baby A and there was no heartbeat there either. I wanted to tell them their machine was broken and we needed to try another. I told them it can't be right and I just balled. They called Jason and it took him forever to get there (apparently he got lost on his way). The doctor tried to ask me about getting them out but I couldn't listen and couldn't talk.
Jason came in (they didn't warn him) so I told him I lost the babies I don't know how long we stayed there crying but at some point Jason called my dad and he came over so that he could take care of E and W. He also called mom and she came back from DC. Eventually we left with instructions to call the hospital at 7pm for me to be induced so that I could still have a vaginal delivery.
We picked up the kids from school and she knew something was up as both Jason and I were there to get her. She kept asking what was up and we just told her that we wanted to talk then asked her questions about her day to distract her. We got William (I made Jason go in because I couldn't) He came out grumpy from just waking up from nap we went strait home and told them the babies had died. William cried mostly because J and I were crying however Evelyn was pretty upset. It was a lot harder to help her as she kept repeating the same things over and over and it was hard for me not to cry, which I was doing a lot of despite trying.
After the kids had some dinner we went to Target to get some animals for the babies we got them two little monkeys though admittedly I liked the dog better and would have gotten them if there were two. Next stop was grandpa's house where the kids did a little better and settled in as Jason and I waited to be told to come in.
We made it to the hospital just after 8pm and checked in. It seems like there was a lot going on as everyone was fairly busy but our nurse Julie was nice and helpful. Though it took her two tries to get a well in me and both failed so she got someone else. The third took and there it stayed as I didn't need any medication yet.
