Waiting....waiting....waiting...

Time goes so slowly when we are waiting...

Waiting...

waiting...

Sunday June 28th, I pray that this waiting pays off and we have a gloriously positive pregnancy test! How exciting is that prospect? Of course, I know the long road has only begun after that, but I am excited and hopeful all the same.

Today is a hopeful day. I am hopeful to bring new life into the world. I am excited to be pregnant again, and feel my tiny baby kicking, flipping and moving about. I intuitively feel pregnant...and there are many signs around me that I very well could be. Tim had a dream the other night that I was pregnant! At the same time, I really don't want to get my hopes up or convince myself of something that has not come to pass. Being pregnant again reminds of me of sweet Zoe...she was certainly a mover and a shaker. At our 21 week u/s she was so active, the u/s tech said she was the most active baby of the day! I miss her dearly. Time seems to play a cruel joke on us angel baby mommas. I am thankful I am making it through this alive, yet I hate the time she was a live is slipping further and further away. Next month she will be gone as long as she was alive. A gut wrenching thought.

Zoe gives me strength to press forward and make the best of a terrible situation. I would do this all over again, without question to hold and kiss my precious, beautiful daughter. Through her I find strength to gain optimism in my darkest hours. I am forever in love with our baby...true unconditional love. I am optimistic that our next pregnancy will be different...and our baby will be born full term and live. The thought of bringing our child home sends chills over my body. My guiding light is that somewhere I have a little girl looking out for her mommy.

So the waiting game begins, and even though I know I will be crushed if I am not pregnant this month, I am ecstatic my medication worked and I will try to remain optimistic. (I will have to remind myself of these words, I am sure!)

On another waiting note...the lady called about our pup Sawyer and they were unable to take him to the vet yesterday to have him neutered. I guess the office was closed due to a parvo virus exposure. Yikes! I am glad he wasn't there! So...he is rescheduled for Wednesday and we can bring him home Thursday! The shelter will not let us bring him home with out him being neutered. So...more waiting!

  3. I love your positive thinking! You inspire me. :)

    I DO think this was your month. But, if it isn't, hope will pull you through to the next month. That's where I am at, at least.

    The 28th is a big day for me too- that's my next ovulation date. Counting down the days too!

    It reminds me of when I was pregnant. My students and I made a paper chain. We cut off a loop each day until I got to learn the sex of the baby. It was fun. Maybe you need one of those. :)

    I'm so excited that you're going to have a new puppy to love on.

  4. I am waiting with you and cannot wait for that big announcement. I know what you mean about surviving better as time goes on but so sad that our babies are further "behind" us. Hugs. I will be sending you positive vibes.

  5. oh the dreaded TWW. I will be taking my test only a few days after you. I really do love that we are on this journey together.

    I know your precious Zoe is shining down on you and your little bean in the making =)

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
