I'll post more info later, so there will be an edit to this later. Cari went in yesterday (St. Patrick's day) for her checkup/ultrasound and there was no heartbeat for Lillian. So this afternoon, Cari was checked in to the hospital and we are going thru the delivery process tonight/friday. The doctors and nurses are going slow, and we don't expect to get finished until late on Friday (19th).
Thank you for your prayers. I'll update later.
So more details.
Cari delivered Lillian on 3/19/2010 at 3:23pm and weighed 13.2 oz. Cari got to experience "natural" childbirth because the end process went faster than the doctor and nurses were really ready for. Cari had a hard contraction, told the nurse she felt pressure, the nurse thought that was a good milestone and went to enter it into the chart, and Cari said "she's coming!" and she came.
The cord was wrapped around her neck three times. The doctors do not think this was the cause. It is more likely the genetic problems were causeing developmental issues enough that her body said it was time to go home.
Cari is doing great. She came home today. She is feeling quite good.
We are both doing really well emotionally. We've had a few grieving moments, but overall we have been blessed with the Comforter, and have felt peace. We are greatful for the support, and love that has been shared.
I will have Cari post more when she can. Thanks again.

You and your family are in our prayers. It hurts to lose a baby no matter what the situation, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you have many people who love you there in KC, but we are not that far away if there is something we can do to help. We love you.
