My name is Joanna Donahue. I just finishe...Hello~<br /><br />My name is Joanna Donahue. I just finished reading the last several months of your blog posts. I can tell you I truly know what you are going through. I just delivered a baby boy on Feb. 3 that had anencephaly. His name is Jonathan. We too lost Jonathan about 12 hours before he was born. He weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. and was 14 inches long. We induced at 32 weeks because I was having blood pressure problems. I had a little bit too much amniotic fluid as well. I had an epidural also~ I didn't want all the physical pain with the emotioanl pain to follow. I was also induced with cytotech (sp). However my water didn't break until about an hour before he was born but he had already passed away. We had so wanted him to live so that we could bond with him but we had also prayed that his passing would be peaceful. I was so afraid of watching him die especially if he struggled. After we saw how little and frail he was we knew that he would have struggled to breathe. His passing was peaceful as one of my friends said tucked rigt under my heart...in the most comforting place he knew. I think that was the same for your little girl. I hope your heart is healing. I am grateful too for all the time we had to prepare and grieve before his birth~ I couldn't imagine not knowing until after he was born. You have wonderful pictures of your beautiful little Isabel and I am sure many more momentos~ I know you will treasure them always. God bless you!<br /><br />Joanna<br /><br />(my son is Graham...that is who the google ID is!)thedonahues7@verizon.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786119673237308904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998643064936955506.post-19857622678690077562010-01-16T09:53:18.215-08:002010-01-16T09:53:18.215-08:00Jill and Mark, I am so sorry for your loss, but yo...Jill and Mark, I am so sorry for your loss, but your faith will get you through this.
