13 November 2008~So we are in week 30 and really getting excited. To all of the ladies on this site who have been with me through this pregnancy, thank you for your support and friendship. This site has really carried me through the tough times. We had our baby shower last weekend which really started making this seem real. I was so excited today to get a diaper bag in the mail! I am going to pack it tonight, never know when Cora might decide to grace us. Not much further to go!!!!

I feel like I am stuck in a holding pattern with all this bedrest, but the road is getting shorter every day. After bing at the hospital for a couple of days, our baby should have stonger lungs from steroids and she is measuring a couple of days bigger than her time line which makes me happy, 1lb 14 oz. I am starting to feel more at ease and I know that no matter what, I will be taking a baby home with me at some point, I just pray it does not involve a stay in the NICU. Good luck to all of you and your tiny babies!!

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.
