Hi, my name is Karin. I am 36 years old and have been married for 12 years. We have a beautiful boy named Kaleb who is 3.
Kaleb has a sister in Heaven. Kathleen was born March 27 2008 at 19 weeks. We got to hold her for 1 1/2 hour before her little heart gave up. She was a beautiful perfect little girl. We have no answers for sure (possibly blood clotting or IC) why she was born early but I did experience bleedings from week 12 and onwards. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong while I was pregnant and assured me all would be fine, but it wasn't. Suddenly my waters broke and two hours later Kathleen entered the world, much too early to be saved.
April 3rd we had a funeral for our little girl. It was a hard day but also beautiful. We sang, we lit candles and we released butterflies. We wrote a letter to her that I would like to share here:
Dear Kathleen
We miss you so much and although we know you are in a better place we wish you were still here with us, that we had gotten to know you and you had gotten to know your parents and your big brother. We can't help but imagine what you would have looked like, what you would have been like, how your life would have unfolded and how you would have impacted the world. You were our little dream girl. We were so looking forward to having you in our family. Your grandma was coming to see you and we were going to take you overseas to see the rest of your family. We were looking forward to taking you and your big brother to the beach this summer. The time we held you in our arms was very precious and you were so beautiful. We know that someday we will see you in heaven but until then you will be greatly missed and you will always have a special place in our heart.
We love you very, very much.
Mom & Dad
Loosing Kathleen has been and still is an extremely difficult experience. Not a day goes by without me thinking of her and imagining what things could have been like. She should have been born August 20 2008 but instead I am left with a broken heart. Yet, I know God heals the brokenhearted and that with His strength I will move forward slowly.
Getting pregnant with Kathleen took us 15 months. We desperately want more children but have to trust in God's timing although we hope and pray we won't have to wait long. I do believe God has good plans for us and we need to wait for Him and trust in Him.
"Still I am confident of this: I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord. Take heart and be strong and wait for the Lord" Psalm 27:13-14
June 27th 2009
After 13 months of trying and waiting and growing in the Lord I am now expecting again. It has been a long and hard journey of grief mixed with monthly disappointments, but I know the timing is right and I give praise and thanks to the Lord. There are still 8 months left of waiting, but I choose to trust God and His promise of goodness. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me and is continiously praying for me - your love and support means so much!

this picture is absolutely beautiful! God bless! I wish you all the very best! xoxo taylasmummy - 3.3 hours ago
Am glad to have met you too - its funny because I was just browsing this site a few weeks ago and came across your story. And ended up telling a few people about you, and I was saying that in spite of how hard it must have been to take so long to conceive after your horrific tragedy.. it felt to me like it happened totally at the right time. It was like the universe was giving you time to properly grieve and only once you'd done that, then you were ready to start again. Am I right? And hey, lets not talk too much more about the sad stuff (I am actually trying to smile today...) tell me about living in Aus. Why were you here, did you like it, did you ever get to Sydney etc etc.

My poor little boy! I think he's teething again cause he's supposed to be taking a nap and instead he's just sitting in there screaming and nothing I do helps. I gave him some teething tablets this morning cause he was nawing on his finger back by his molars;its obviously not helping. Might be time to break out the big guns...ibuprofen! I'm hoping he cries himself to sleep right now...I don't know what else to do!?!

Hi, I know how u feel re the bub kicking on the cervix, it drives me mad because you can only imagine what its doing. My OB said there was no way she was NOT going to put a stitch in at this stage. Apparently 24 weeks is still ok, its after 27 weeks that it becomes more of a problem. But she also said that if this was my first pregnancy she would probably just send me home on bed rest, but she understands that I have a 21 month old to look after. Yes I am funneling but after the funneling there was still over 1cm of cervix left over. Apparently the procedure went well and she says I can be optimistic. I am on loads of antibiotics now to stop any infection from starting up. Re: bed rest, currently I am staying in bed, but my Dr said to just take it really easy, and if I can get a nanny in to look after my little girl then that would be great. But she didnt insist on it. Weird? I am going for a scan tomorrow to check that all is ok with the stitch and will see her as well - and I will definitely ask her to be more specific about what I should be doing from now on. To be honest I was so shell shocked that I didnt really ask her much at the time. I dont think I have ever been more miserable, I just lay in my hospital bed and stared out the window and tried not to think too hard about what was happening. But listen, I have been doing some research and there are so many women in similar positions to us who swear by bed rest. I have read about women who are like 3cm dilated who then go onto bed rest and deliver at full term. Google the Bed rest Club. And please let me know how youre going. xxx

Yes, I am on Progesterone supplements. I have had low progesterone in all my pregnancies. If it wasn't for Progesterone supplementation with my daughter I would have lost her. I tried Progesterone pills with the miscarriage at 9 weeks, but it was still lost. So he said we would try suppositories this time, because they do not have to be metabolized by the liver. You get what you need, where you need. He was concerned about the price, but I do not care how much it cost, to keep my baby/pregnancy healthy.

The Dr just called with my test results. My beta is 4,413, and my progesterone is 10. He said both are normal. However my progesterone is on the low side of normal. The normal range is between 9-26 at 5 weeks pregnant, but some people have much higher. He told me that I could go ahead and start using 3 suppstories a day, to help boost it more, until the placenta takes over at 12 weeks or so. So fingers crossed!

I know I am ovulating. I know my body... do you ladies think I should BD or should I wait til I see the specialist?

Hi, ok so it didnt go so well... my cervix had shortened to about 1.1cm, I was put straight into a wheelchair and taken up to the hospital, my dr met me there and put an emergency cervical stitch in, under general anesthetic. I was heartbroken. I am finally home but pretty much bedridden. Its funny because I was actually feeling pretty confident this time, I was almost thinking of postponing the scan because I felt so good. Talk about shocked and devastated when I found out. Anyway, I am trying my best to stay positive, my dr seems to think that I'll get to 37 weeks with the stitch in, so I just have to trust that. Hope u keeping well. Claire x

hi there, thanx for the comment. a few people have said to try prune juice so i might give it a go! my doctor has given me some lactolose and said if that doesnt work i can get some fibogel. i hope the lactolose works as fibogel tastes disgusting lol. i had this when i were preg with my son but this time round seems to be worse :-s think i need to watch what i am eating lol xx

Looks like another ectopic pregnancy for me. Please pray for me ladies...I am so down. I don't know how many more times I can go through this heartache. Another blood draw on Monday to confirm.
Thank you for the prayers.

The verse from Psalms you have on your page is the one I was memorizing to help me through my c-section. How cool is that? I noticed your living in Spokane. My best friend grew up there. Beautiful town. Hope all is well with your little family.
