Gerard Francis Gretencord
Tuesday we learned that Baby G V, died. We would have been 9 weeks pregnant this week. We were hopeful a couple of weeks ago when our ultrasound showed a beating heart. But our baby didn’t develop past 6w 1d. God had different plans for this baby and our family.
We named him Gerard Francis because we learned about our little blessing on the Feast of St. Gerard, and Francis because of all the animals that have been attracted to our home (and Fulton’s fascination with St. Francis).
Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. I will go into surgery for a D&C. I opted this route because our last miscarriage was rather traumatic and I didn’t want to go through that again with the kids around. I’m scared but I think this is the best thing for our family. Thank you for any prayers you can offer.
