Got heartbreaking news today

Today was my second OB appointment. Nate went with me because he had a dr's appointment right before me. His ear infection is akk cleared up so that was good news. We went for a date at Tres Amigos (which Nate loved) and then went to my appt. The dr did my exam and said that everything looked good and that my uterus felt big enough to be able to hear the heartbeat. But, he was unable to find the heartbeat. Dr Jones said that he was not concerned as the baby was measuring small so they were going to move my due date back so I would be a little over 9 weeks instead of 10 weeks and that was right at the point of hearing the heatbeat. He asked if I wanted an ultrasound. I thought that it would be great to be able to see the baby again so I said that I did. I called Brad and told him what was going on and asked if he would come but reasurred him that Dr Jones was not concerned. but, when he did the ultrasound there was no heartbeat. Dr Jones was as surprised as anyone. He said that the baby had stopped growing shortly after the last ultrasound. I am so heartbroken. It was so hard because Nate was there and was upset because I was upset. I have to call Dr Jones tomorrow and takl about what our next steps are.
