I am 23 years old. I am married to Chris for 5 years and we have a 5 year old son named Isaac. We found out on June 15, 2007 that we were expecting again and sadly on June 19, 2007 I miscarried. It definatly is heartbreaking but I now have to realize that if it isnt meant to be then so be it. I am very grateful for my 4 year old son and will make sure from now on to cherish him everyday and every chance I get. Thank you to all the ladies that have shown me support. Im sure gonna need it if we are gonna continue to try.

Today is July 9 and I got the results back from my blood work.....everything is NORMAL!!!!! So that means that we just havent gotten the timing right to conceive and our miscarriage had to be a chromosomal defect. I was so scared there was something wrong with my body and it rejected the baby but I guess not. I am so excited!!! Now for AF to come. She can come any day now. I never thought I would have wanted it so bad but I do. LETS GET BABY MAKING!!!!

Okay on July 12, 2007 I took another pregnancy test out of curiosity and it came back positive. HOLY SMOKES!! Could I really be pregnant again, or could it be from the miscarriage? My doctor had me come in for more blood work on the 13 and we discovered that my levels had gone up to 22. Which means that I could be pregnant or I have some remaining tissue. PLEASE GOD LET ME BE PREGNANT AGAIN. I WANT THIS MORE THEN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!!!

I will be sure to update once I get the results on Wednesday.

Today is July 18, 2007. I found out today that we are expecting again. Tomorrow will be one month that I miscarried and I cant believe it happend so fast. Thank you god. I AM SO THRILLED but also terrifed at the same time. My first goal is to make it past 5w2d and then 12w. PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS

I am not sure of a due date yet because we dont have a lmp to go by because I never got one after the miscarriage but I am sure it will be the end of March or early April.

I AM SO EXCITED.....baby dust to all of you ttc!

Today is July 27 and if my little baby ticker is right then we made it past 5w2d, thats when I lost my last baby. What a relief. I am goona call the doctors office today and finally set up myy first ob appointment. I hope they can get me in right away. My doctor said that I should call HER and let her know how I am feeling and then we will set up the appointment. So I am hoping she wants me to come in soon. I dont want to wait for the 8th week or later. Anyway I will keep you all posted!

July 31, 2007 I have my first doctor appointment today. I am a little nervous but excited. A little nervous because so far my doctor is treating me differently then her other patients. Usually the first ob appointment is with her assistant
and then her, but mine is with her and she scheduled me into a time block so I could have a longer appointment! Hopefully we will have a due date today. Not knowing when about I am due is really driving me nuts! I'll post later about my appointment!

My appointment went well. She was able to give me an approximate due date of March 27, 2008. I am so excited to finally have a date. She is being very cautious. She told me to call her immediatly if I have any pain so I could go and have an ultrasound. She is concerned about an ectopic pregnany. I am hoping and praying that doesnt happen. Cant wait for September 4 for my next appointment. Hopefully we will hear the heartbeat!!!

Today is August 11 and I am really beginning to feel pregnant. Which is so exciting but jeez the morning sickness lasts all day! But I will not complain. I needed to wake up twice last night to go to the bathroom so I think my little peanut is getting big and fast. I cant wait to see him/her on ultrasound. I dont think my bbs have gotten that much bigger but just a tad. Oh I cant wait to hold my baby. PLEASE LET HIM/HER BE HEALTHY!!!

Today is August 14 and I had my first ultrasound and everything looked great! Heartbeat was at 166bpm and the little bean was moving around a little bit. I am so glad I got to see it today! So far so good. Gonna keep my fingers crossed

This is my precious little miracle baby!!!! Isn't it amazing at how well you make it out!! At 8 weeks you can clearly tell that he/she is hanging around upside down. I also think that he/she already has chubby cheeks!!! I love him/her so much already!

September 2, 2007 I have my next appointment on Tuesday and I cant help but feel a little scared. I have seen my little bean and the heartbeat but I have the fear of a missed miscarriage. I have a sister-in-law who had one right after my miscarriage. She had no sings of anything, she was just feeling better. My bbs dont hurt anymore and the nausousness went away so I am scared. Everyone keeps telling me that my body has gotten use to the pregnancy hormones. I hope they are right.

I have started wearing maternity clothes to be more comfortable. Im not sure if it is baby or just me getting fat but my clothes are definetly tighter. I will update after my next appointment. Wish me luck!

My appointment went well. It took her a bit to find the heartbeat but she did and it was still strong at 160 bpm. My blood pressure was borderline so now there is another concern. GRRRR Im just glad that things are looking good with the bean. Next appointment October 1 for prenatal blood work then I go back October 8th for the next check up. Hopefully a few days after that we will get another ultrasound and maybe see what we are having.

After my last appointment I have switched doctors. She just wasnt listening to me as a patient and she was just really kind of rude. Hopefully my new doctor will allow me to have a 20 week ultrasound. Everyone else gets one so why can't I?

October 11, 2007 I just got a phone call from the clinic and all my blood work showed up negative. WHEW! I was really worried about gestational diabetes.

October 16, 2007 I met my new doctor, LOVE HER, and she set up an ultrasound app for November 9. Only 3 LONG weeks. I cant wait to find out what we are having. I know I will cry and wont stop smiling for days. And then of course begin the shopping!!!! Crossing my fingers that everything will look good.

October 23, 2007 The baby's kicks are getting stronger and he/she likes water already. If I am in the bathtub or even doing a load of laundry the kicking begins. Its funny because I can feel the baby just laying around too. In one paticular spot that is. Im so happy to be able to feel my bean now. Not so much worrying. Countdown until our next ultrasound, 17 days. (SIGH) So far away.

November 10, 2007

Yup we found out yesterday!!!! Im so excited that we finally know. TIME TO GO SHOPPING!!!

There he is at 20w5d. He will go by the name Jacob Thomas Anderson

December 12, 2007 I had my appointment this morning and I found out that at 25 weeks I am measuring at 30 cm. WAY TO BIG!!! I go back in 2 weeks to get re-checked. I really hope that everything is okay. I also had my blood test for GD done this morning so I wont know the results until next apoointment.

Jacob is extremely active now and I am loving every second of it. I could sit and stare at my belly all day. 3 more months.
