The Best Laid Plans

I was supposed to get a pedicure today.
I was supposed to get up at 6, be out the door by 7, to the Doctors by 8. I was supposed to hear the heartbeat and make plans got a cerclage, and then for progesterone shots. I waited deliberately until i was this far along, to give the baby as much time as possible to decide whether it was going to stay around.
I was supposed to finish at the doctors, stop at CVS and buy a wedding card. I was supposed to pick up a bottle of OPI Magalia Wine and convince Lulu that I don't want a french manicure. I was supposed to get home late, have a snack, and see my daughter and husband as they return from NY. I was supposed to get up tomorrow, have my hair flatironed and go to the wedding of my dear dear friend. I was supposed to come home happy, maybe a little sick, and I was supposed to announce at playgroup on monday that I guessed the sex based on the heartrate.

I was not supposed to go to the doctor today and find out that my babies, my twins, had died.

Didn't even see it coming.

"I'm so so sorry" just sounds inadequate, but I am. Sending healing vibes in your direction.
