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 . . .

Let's talk about the next 7 days

I sit here this morning completely emotionally exhausted thinking about this upcoming week. While I'm sure many of these topics will get their own post at some point in the next week, thinking about all of them this morning is a little overwhelming.

1). This will be the first week in three weeks that we will not have an ultrasound or any other way to check to see if this peanut is still alive.

2). I will have my first appointment with my midwife who has done all of my miscarriage appointments.

3). We will (hopefully) pass the gestational age that everything went wrong last time. At 7w4d last time there was a gloriously strong heartbeat. At 8w5d it was gone.

4). And finally we will watch June 14th come and go. The EDD for our last pregnancy. And instead of becoming 2nd time parents, we will spend June 14th clinging to whatever hope we can find that we won't have to say goodbye to another pregnancy and spend another due date with such sorrow.
