Bottomless pit
I haven't been around much. I was busy being pregnant and happy and jubilant, and preparing for my life as a mother. I have longed for the time when I would be able to announce the arrival of our baby girl to the world, including here.
Our beloved daughter Ingrid was born this Friday, March 16th. During the birth, the placenta detatched from the uterine wall, and she nearly bled to death inside me. She was delivered with an emergency c-section. She lost at least 75 % of her blood volume, and suffered from severe asphyxia. It took the doctors nearly 15 minutes to get her heart going. She was sent to another hospital for treatment, and my husband and I joined her there several hours later after I woke up from the anesthesia. She lived for one day before passing away in our arms. She was our miracle baby, being conceived on our wedding night after years of infertility. She would have needed another miracle, but wasn't granted one.
There are no words to describe our grief, the agony and anguish we are going through.
Our love for her was instant, and is greater than anything I have ever experienced in my entire life. My heart yearns for her.
