Oh, Melaine! Thank you so much for your concern for me! And I want all of you to know how much your prayers mean to me. You really are like sisters to me...and I'd give you all big hugs if I could!
I should be 8 weeks pregnant right now, and had some light spotting a couple weeks ago that only lasted 1 day. They did a sono to check things out, and determined that I was either not as far along as I thought (which is entirely possible as my body is a little wacky) or it was a blighted ovum (which means that the baby quit developing really early, but my body still thinks I'm pregnant and is playing along). Since it's either ok or not, the dr. said there's really no reason I couldn't do anything I normally would. It's already been determined, we just had to wait and see which it was. I just got the results from the 2nd sono today and it is a blighted ovum. The gestational sack is there, but empty. Sooo, I'd covet your prayers on Monday as they'll do a D&C (after 1 more sono just to make sure they didn't miss anything).
The Lord has really given me peace through all of this. Obviously we're disappointed as we'd love to welcome another baby, but we're really counting our blessings, too. I have 3 wonderful children from 3 problem-free pregnancies. I know many of you have experienced miscarriages and I so appreciate your tender hearts!
Love,
Kathleen
