March for babies




Team Mirthful!

The March for babies was yesterday and it went really well. We raised $2000 as a team!! We had 17 people walking with us! I feel so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful support system. After the walk, we had family and friends over for a cookout at the house. Overall, I felt pretty good. I was happy to be surrounded by people who understand the pain I endure from losing Zoe. I said to my best friend Angie, "I wish you all were here under different circumstances." She said "The difficult times are most important times to be surrounded by the ones who love you". We have known each other for about 5 years now, and although that isn't a super long time, we have always had a very beautiful friendship. All of the people who came I hold near and dear to my heart. A wonderful friend I met in NYC (when I was a travel nurse) drove out with her husband to walk with us! How awesome. Brian and Mary, friends I went to college with walked with us as well. Mary and I hadn't seen each other in over 4 years until a couple of months ago...and although it had been a long time since we had seen each other, we picked up right were we left off! There is nothing quite like true friends. I would do anything for our friends and family...I love them dearly!

    Oh Kate, I'm so glad the walk went well! That's quite a team you have there. I'm so so glad--you SHOULD have a football team behind you, with your sweet spirit and positive personality. I was thinking about you all this weekend. We didn't sign up because we weren't sure where we'd be in our cycle--there was a chance I might have been on bed rest or something--but I had you and all of our PP friends in my thoughts.

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:

2nd Beta!

Well, my 2nd beta on Wednesday was 308! Super excited! Who knows...there might just be two lucky charms in there. Everyone seems to think we are having twins...even my very fabulous IVF nurse. Only time will tell. One...two...whatever happens, I am just so excited to be pregnant. We have our first u/s on March 22nd where we will see how many we have and hear the little heart beat/s. Yay!! As of right now I have been feeling wonderful! I am having a bit of nausea here and there, but not too bad. I didn't get sick one time when I was pregnant with Zoe, so we will see. For now, just the normal early pregnancy symptoms and I LOVE IT! I can hardly wait to meet this little bean in 35-36 weeks from now! :-) So the count down begins...17 more days until our first u/s. Unlike my pregnancy test...I can't cheat and head to the office early for this one. What is a girl to do...ha!
