That’s right, we are finally pregnant again. It’s been 5 months of trying since we lost our precious angel. And while no baby will ever replace our sweet baby Jayden, I’m comforted to say that this new baby has his/her guardian angel of their own. I know Jayden will be watching over them and taking care of them and JB and I. This is going to be the begining of another curve in our journey. It’s going to be a very very tough one. We’ve lost our innocents to pregnancy. Long gone are the days that you can be happy and care free – and we are already feeling the anxiety with this one. 12 pregnancy tests later we feel a little more confident that it’s really happening. I’ve put in a phone call with my OB and am awaiting the phone call. My anxiety has risen even quite a bit in just a few days. I long to be big and feel those kicks so that I know everything is okay. I did find an organization called www.tinyheartbeats.org that sends you a high quality fetal doppler to you free of charge if you have had a loss. So I think we will do that, that will help reassure us that everything is okay.
I do know that our general timeline is going to be getting into the OB and as soon as their is a heartbeat, they will start me on the blood thinner shots twice a day in my belly. My friend who is a month ahead of me said her tummy is black and blue from them
then at 12 weeks we will have an amnio done to test the DNA and see if everything looks good and tell the blood type because there may be an issue if the baby is 0- like Jayden was. Then from them on they will monitor me closely with ultrasounds and non stress tests and go from there. I should be delivered at 37-38 weeks. I should be due about March 15, 2010. But with delivering early it will be end of Feb. First week of march.
I’m nervous about the military and being pregnant. More now than when I was just taking into the fact that I could be pg. luckily I have to have a specialist and the military hospital will refer me out to a civilian doctor. I’m still nervous just because of the horror stories I’ve heard about the military hospital experiences.
Well I’m going to go lay back down. Maybe clean a little bit, but I’m super tired.

Contgratulations!!! Thanks for sharing & I’ll be praying for you!
So excited for you and Josh ~ and for my becoming a great-grandma again! Congratulations!!! You can add my name, as well as the dozen or so women in our church prayer group, to the list of those who will be praying. Every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. we pray for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. That would be 8 p.m. Indy time should your other relatives and friends like to join in at the same hour. Try to let go of that anxiety.
Sending loads of love.
