Well, I have not updated this in a long time so I figured I should since I have plenty of time. Things were going well and I started my progesterone shots at the begining of the month. My doctor got married and was out of town most of the month so I had to convince another doctor that I needed Weekly ultra sounds with my shots and she agreed. So at week 18, I had one and wouldn't you know, my cervix was measuring short. Almost immediately I was admited to labor and delivery and the next day, I had a cerclage put in. So everything went well and I have been on bed rest ever since. I saw my dr. this week and the stitch looked good, so did the baby. Oh, did I mention it is a girl!!!! we are very excited and if I end up in bed for the next 4 months then so be it.

Everything seems to be going ok so far this this pregnancy after the bleeding stopped a few weeks ago. I am on bated breath every day that passes, hoping for a healthy, full term child. I feel for all you mommies who have lost a little one. I keep telling myself that there is always hope and that God is with us.

Well, just got back from my first apt. for this pregnancy and the dates were a bit off. I am 6 wks 5 days. The tech from last week measured wrong, oh well. Good news is that there is still a nice HB! I am seeing a perinatalologist which is a good thing. At 8 wks I will get another us to make sure the date is right and all is well. I start the progesterone shots ~ 16wks and for some reason, the military requres a co-pay for them.

Happy mother's day!! I am a mother again! yes, only 3 months after our loss, we are pregers once again. I would love to say that I am happy, but the happiness is shadowed by fear and anxiety. Wish us luck!!!

Hello everyone! Andy and I are parents to a little angel, George Andrew, who was born prematurely at 23 wks. It has been over a month now since our loss and we are just starting to think of the hope of trying again. After a meeting with our doctor, we don't know exactly why we lost our son, but she says her best guess is that it was pre-term labor brought on by some sort of infection or issue with in my body. We can not definately say that it was incompetent cervix but it is still a possibility. Most likely, I will take progesterone when we get pregnant again and go from there. The only thing that makes the pain feel better is thinking about being pregnant again. Lets hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Hi there....I saw your post and wanted to say I'm thinking about you. I'm being watched carefully to see if I need a cerclage due to my son being born at 32 weeks. So far...it doesn't look like I'm getting one, but I do start Progesterone shots tonight. I was on bedrest all of last week so I know how that is too! Good luck! It's all worth it in the end!!

Katie, I am so sorry to hear of what you have been through! What a scare! And it is easy to understand why you would still be scared and worried. I am so glad they caught it though and got the cerclage in. How long do you have to be on bed rest?

Lots of prayers and love,
Karin

LOL ok enough said. I have to say I do trust Carlos enough to stick me w/ a needle. When I was in the hospital for the 3 wks the nurses LOVED HIM! He did everything from changing my sheets, baths and then some (I wasn't allowed to get out of bed) to putting me on the monitor. The only thing he wasn't allowed to do was give me the needles there. Hospital policy is that nurses administer all medications. Anyway you are another day closer to meeting your baby!!!!!! The way it should be. Are you on bedrest, don't know if I asked already.

cosita - Thursday, 7 August
Woo hoo your first shot!! Hehe. Are you going to have to go to the doctor to get them or is your hubby now a professional 17p shot giver! LOL. Mine would love giving me my shots.

charm3 - Tuesday, 5 August
The doctor's visit went well. They did my test to check for abnormalities and they called back yesterday and said the baby was fine. I didn't get to see the lil one though. I have an appointment at the end of this month and i will get to see the baby then. How are you? Why are u getting shots?

cosita - Saturday, 2 August
Oh I'm so glad that things are progressing for you! Everyday that passes is a day closer that you are to meeting your little one. Yes the progesterone shots do hurt well not all the time. At first they did because I got the from a regular pharmacy (CVS) and I had to inject a lot more because it wasn't concentrated. Ugh! not fun and one time I was given large syringes, holy crap did that hurt. I felt like I was a whale being harpooned. Luckily I got the concentrated dose and was able to use a smaller syringe. Get them in the hip area, it's not so bad. My little guy and I are doing great!!! I just put up some new pictures. Time is going by waaaaaaaaay to fast.

charm3 - Thursday, 31 July
hey, momma. how are you? I went to the doctor yesterday

roosa - Tuesday, 29 July
How nice it must have been to see your little one, although I understand your anxiety quite well. It must be hard really enjoying your pregnancy. I loved being pregnant with my first. Now I would just want the pregnancy to go as fast as possible and make it to the other end and hold a healthy little baby. I will keep praying for you. You say research is not too optimistic? I thought there was a very little chance of the same outcome??

Thanks for your prayers as well. They are much needed. I do have to keep trusting that God has my life in His hands and whatever He has in store for me is best. Easier said than done at times, but I am trying

Take care!
Karin

roosa - Friday, 25 July
AF arrived on Tuesday, 4 days late. I was furious. It was definitely not a good day. But I have refocused and am 'back on track' now.

I will very much appreciate your prayers as Aug 20. approaches and please pray I will get pregnant next month. That would mean so much to me.

Nope, none of us like the snow. It is cold

and hard to drive in and a lot of work. I think my husband like it even less than me even though he grew up there. He would probably go skiing once per year and likes it but doesn't love it. He loves surfing!

Actually I wouldn't say my mom and I are very close. We get along, but we also seem to argue a fair bit. She likes to interfere and still treats me like a little girl. I have a hard time handling that. But overall we do get along and I do enjoy having her here.

The first time I left Denmark was in 1993 where I went to the states for a year to train horses at a ranch by Spokane. During that time I met Keith. We got married in 1996 and lived the first 4 1/2 years in Denmark. Then we went to Australia for a year for Keith to finish off some studies. He could have done it in Denmark or US but we thought a bit of adventure would be fun. We hadn't imagined falling in love with Australia as we did. When the year was up we went back to US and lived there for 2 years but we honestly felt homesick for Australia. Things weren't really working out job wise either. (That is what my husband fear the most if we move back, the job situation). We talked to our youth pastor in Australia and he said that he was going to start a new church and it all just seemed to make sense that we should be a part of his team. So we decided to move to Australia, thinking that would be our permanent move. We have been here since 2004. I hope that sort of explains all our moving back and forth. And it seems our journey hasn't ended. I wonder if it ever will. By the way, I could not live in Denmark. It is too small and crowded, too expensive, not enough selections, no churches we like and it is a very carrier minded country with regards to women. I want to be home with my children (maybe even homeschool) and that is unheard of in Denmark. I would be the only one doing it and my children would be lonely. It is normal to be home with your children in Australia, but it isn't normal to homeschool which is another reason the states attracts me.

Hope all is well! Been thinking of you.

Love,
Karin

Thankyou for all your lovely messages on our BFP!! god bless you all

Juniper Willow - Thursday, 24 July
Hi all just wanted to let you know that the cruise was fabulous..all is well with baby..yes, I broke down on the ship and had an u/s on ship and there he was sucking his thumb and being adorable. the doctor called all the staff in to see my little guy as many have never seen an u/s. One guy started to cry and said that was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen on the ship...I had to agree! I swear I could stare at my baby all day.:) So, now I am in NY and tomorrow I take the train and see my hubby after two weeks and start the joy of house hunting and then house settling. We came back to sad news. My grandmother passed away while I was on the ship..she was a grand ole 102!! But I looked fwd to sharing my baby with her...but as my friend said, now she has a front row seat!:) But my uncle with whom she had been living the last 8 years along with my aunt is in critical condition and I worry my aunt may lose her husband and mother in the same week. He has pneumonia and then had a heart attack in the hospital and is now bleeding internally...so if you could spare a prayer for him, please offer one up. We are waiting to hear funeral arrangements as all eyes are on my uncle right now. But, we, baby and me are fine...just saddened. so thanks for all your thoughts while i was traveling!!I am so glad now I took the cruise but was worried at the length of it...but glad we are here and still going fine! NY is hot and now rainy but great to back in the USA!

Hello! Glad to hear things are going well. I can't imagine everyting you went through with your last pregnancy adn only pray this will be a safe and healthy pregnancy for you. This is my first baby so I am so excited and extremely nervous. I haven't felt the baby yet, but we've heard the heart beat 3 times and just had an ultrasound last week and the litle peanut was moving all around. I think once I can feel the baby I will be a little less nervous.

roosa - Sunday, 20 July
Katie, silly me, I thought you were still in Germany! Wow, Tacoma WA - yes, it is a small world. I think it is hard to find the perfect spot in the world. I wish I could combine all the best qualities in one spot, but it just isn't so. We love the weather down here and the ocean. We don't like the snow and the winter cold which Spokane has lots of. However I do like a white Christmas

It just isn't the same celebrating Christmas in the middle of summer with an outdoor barbecue. The hot cocoa and the warm fireplace is missing! The states have so many more season related traditions and I do miss that. Everything down here is the same, all year round. I was just thinking about the fall festivals around Spokane with apple cider and caramel apples. That is so nice. I don't really like the heat either, particularly if it is humid. I go crazy!

My mom is actually visiting at the moment. She usually comes a couple of times a year and stays 2-3 months. When we settle down more permanently she would like to try and move to wherever we are which would be so nice! Yes, I was born in Denmark. I went to the states for a year in 1993 which is when I met Keith whom I married 3 years later.

I feel like I am loosing my sanity! I am 2-3 days late with my AF, but still no positive test and my temperature has gotten lower and lower over the last couple of days which points to AF. I so desperately want to be pregnant again, this month or next month, so that I am pregnant before Kathleen was due - August 20th. It won't replace Kathleen but it will bring me some comfort which I really need now. I am a nervous wreck waiting to find out. I do feel my hope decreasing with each negative test...

Well, talk later. All the best!
Karin
