Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

7 weeks

7 weeks pregnant today.  If all is still going well, the baby should be about the size of a blueberry.

Up until yesterday I was fairly optimistic about this pregnancy, but my relatively good day yesterday really played some head games with me.  I wouldn't say that I felt great or normal yesterday, but I tolerated a fair amount of food and didn't even feel the need to keep a plastic bag with me at all times.  Jury is still out on how I feel today.  I've only been awake for about 30 minutes and don't feel great, but that's a pretty typical morning for me, pregnant or not.  (I'm slow and grumpy to wake up.)

Of course, to mess with my head even more, I had my first dream last night about miscarrying this pregnancy.  In between the last miscarriage and this pregnancy, I had miscarriage dreams quite frequently, but somehow my mind had kept them at bay during this pregnancy . . . until now.  I'll save you the gory details, but it was horrifying and upsetting and did nothing to calm my nerves.

Thursday morning feels a million hours a way.  Still 2 full more days to analyze why I'm feeling better and to hope I start feeling worse again really soon. I am so glad my RE is bringing me back for another ultrasound and I am so glad my husband is going to be able to go with me.  I feel like this one may not have the same happy outcome as previous ones.
