There goes a little angel

As I wallowed in the grief of another failed cycle my friend B and her husband were dealing with a leak of amniotic fluid. Their 19 week fetus was in great shape but the hole in the sac surrounding it let in an infection and B was induced yesterday. It comes as a terrible shock. The 20 week scan would have been today but instead they are dealing with their loss.
I spent lots of time last night with B and her husband in the delivery room which is especially accustomed for family and friends supporting loved ones in this position. B wanted her friends and family with her. There were 9 females in the room including her mother, 2 sisters, a baby niece and 4 friends. My husband came later. The healing that went on in that room with the laughter and tears was incredible.
It's over now but it goes without saying that the mourning of the loss of their little boy will continue.
Goodbye little fella, your Mum and dad will miss you.
