After miscarrying on September 6th, the doctor told Dustin and I that we could continue to try getting pregnant whenever we were ready. We decided not to delay and began trying immediately. Well--I am nothing if not fertile. I am pregnant again after the first try with our 4th pregnancy.
I wanted to ensure that if I took a pregnancy test and it was positive that it wasn't "left over" pregnancy hormones from the miscarriage so I took a test in mid-September and it was negative. I began feeling pregnancy symptoms again in late September. When the time came to test on October 10, it was positive.
This pregnancy is different than the previous pregnancies in that I am more cautious than ever.
We are excited but trying not to get our hopes up. I think once we get to the 12 week point, around Thanksgiving, we will be able to breathe just a little easier.
In the meantime, the symptoms are pretty bad which is good, I guess. Today is 10/13 and I am 5 weeks 2 days.
Praying so very hard that this is the baby that we've been praying for.
