Daddy, Why Did You Kill Me?

In the dark of night, I begged for a chance,

A fragile girl, caught in a cruel dance.

Hope flickered softly, but where did it go?

Your choice loomed large, and I felt the blow.

You made your mark, thought it was right,

Chasing a dream, but I lost my fight.

In that moment, my future slipped away,

Your vote felt heavy, like night turned to gray.

I cried out for help, just wanted to be free,

But the rules you backed, they turned on me.

A whisper of fear, a pain so deep,

My world fell apart, promises to keep.

Daddy, can’t you see the tears in my eyes?

Did the news drown out my silent cries?

Your own flesh and blood, left to face the night,

While you walked away, I lost my light.

In my darkest moments, I searched for a way,

But choices were taken, hope led astray.

I needed your strength, but you left me alone,

Now I’m just a memory, a heart made of stone.

Drifting through echoes of what could have been,

A daughter, a dreamer, lost in the din.

So, daddy, I ask, with this ache in my chest,

Why did you kill me? Was this your best?

In the shadow of your choice, I whisper your name,

For the life that was stolen, the unending shame.

In every heartbeat, in each tear I shed,

I linger in silence, with so much left unsaid.

Silken Windhound, 6 weeks

[karmabites96]

Precious little beans, my baby is getting so big at 6 weeks old, weighs 10 lbs 4 ozs and is so attentive and vocal. I love my little man. Can't believe it's been 6 weeks I feel good even with having had a C-section.

Dr. Katrina Furth, Ph.D., a developmental biologist at Charlotte Lozier Institute who participated in today’s introductory news conference in the State Capitol Rotunda, explained:

“Unlike politics, science is based on observable facts.  The science of embryology confirms that the heart is the first functioning organ in a developing human being, with the first heartbeat at just six weeks of pregnancy.  To be blunt, it’s a requirement of human prenatal development because a baby’s growth is dependent on the steady flow of oxygen and nutrients through the bloodstream.

“To deny that a baby at six weeks has a heartbeat is to deny both science and common sense.  At six weeks, the baby has a developing human organ which beats rhythmically 110 times per minute pumping nutrient-rich blood throughout the body.  Most people in Nebraska call that a heart.”

The peer-reviewed science on babies at 6 weeks’ gestation includes:

The heart is actively beating at 6 weeks. In the first trimester alone, the heart beats 10 million times. Furthermore, between fertilization and birth, the baby’s heart will beat approximately 54 million times.

The baby’s average heart rate is 110 BPM. This will rise to 159 BPM by 8 weeks’ gestation.

The presence of a heartbeat at 6-8 weeks’ gestation correlates with an extraordinarily high live birth rate of up to 98% when examining normal pregnancies without intervention.

“Some have claimed that a baby doesn’t have an actual heart because the organ has not fully, completely developed by 6 weeks.  I must point out that the human brain isn’t fully, completely developed until around age 25.  Would those pundits and politicians suggest that a toddler or teenager or recent college graduate doesn’t actually have a true brain?  Follow the science.”

So yesterday was pretty scary. We went to the ER because I had a 2 cm subchorionic hematoma hemorrhage, we were there 6 hours, until around 12:30/1 am. They said otherwise, everything was fine. No heartbeat yet because you are currently growing a heart. I didn't get to see the ultrasound, dissapointing, but normal there. At 5 weeks 5 days, you are about the size of an orange seed or lentil, which is a little awkward, because I just had lentils for lunch. I looked up what you look like, and I think you look like Charmander; you even have a tail for now, which is pretty cool imo.♥

Currently listening to 6 weeks by Beach Bunny and mourning friendships I lost instead of twisting my hair if anyone wants to know how I'm doing 🙂
