All of the entries from my previous
pregnancy are located on Maddie's page.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I really enjoy being on this site and sharing this journey with all of you.

My husband and I have been married nearly a year (07/07 is our anniversary) and have gone through a "trial by fire" of sorts. I was diagnosed 5 years ago with PCOS and I figured it was nearly impossible for us to conceive. I am medicated, but that doesn't always fix the problem. So, shortly after the wedding we decided to stop using protection. Imagine my shock and surprise at finding out we were pregnant after only TWO months of trying!

It took a long time for me to get used to the idea and the timing, but I had grown to love that child. Unfortunately I managed to get a rare bacterial infection and wound up losing that baby in December at 17w4d. I was realeased from the hospital on Christmas day. We immediately started trying again. I was so empty from the loss and wanted nothing more than to fill that hole with another child. My husband felt the same way. We will never forget dear, sweet Maddie, but it was time to move on and give ourselves something to look forward to.

After going CRAZY with the desire to be pregnant again, I resigned myself to living my old life and trying to enjoy it. After only two months of trying we managed to conceive again. We learned about this miracle on 03/22/08 - exactly three months after losing our daughter.

In the blogs to the right is our (brief) journey TTC and the trials of this pregnancy. I have been diagnosed with placenta previa and had a major bleeding episode in early June. Fortunately my doctor is keeping a close eye on me and on this child. As we get closer and closer to the point we were at before, the excitement and fear grow together. I can not WAIT to hold this child healthy in my arms!!!
