Losing another baby

I must say 4 weeks ago we were happy that we were again expecting a little one... Although after the initial "yay our rainbow is on it's way!!" the fear settled in and took hold... I'm sad to say unfortunately  the fear was warranted and on Monday this week I went into the dr for my 8 week check.  It's bad news again... Blighted Ovum... which means that our little one probably had severe chromosome problems and didn't develop past 5 weeks so we couldn't even see a baby.. Just an empty sac staring at us on the screen.  I must say on Monday I was a wreck full of anger and sadness that I was going to lose another baby but this is so much easier emotionally than losing our little Sonic at almost 17 weeks.... I know this baby wasn't able to survive and that I won't be seeing my little one because the cells didn't make it far in development. Yes, I had plans and expectations that this baby would be mine and come to me safely but knowing that my baby wouldn't have been able to have grown gives my heartache a bandage... Having a blighted ovum my body is still pregnant to the sac my baby started in and when I came home I read that some people stay pregnant for the entire first trimester,but I have started to miscarry naturally which is proving to be painful physically and I think this time is helping my heart to heal for this loss.  I am very very sad that our rainbow has left us.  And just 3 short weeks before Sonic's due date... I wish I was in labor with my little Sonic healthy and strong... I wish I knew what the future had in store for us and above all else I hope and pray that this is the last baby we will ever have to say good bye to

*UPDATE*
Our blighted ovum actually ended up being twin babies (so 2 blighted ovums) that I miscarried @ 10 weeks.
