The Storm & Glimpse of a Rainbow

The Storm

In January 2012 John and i decided to try for baby # 2, Mikey was 1 1/2 years old.  I had been cleared by all of my doctors, and was well on the way to full recovery...well as fully recovered as I can get!   If you are not familiar with my medical history, you can read my other blog Keeping Faith Through it All.

We got pregnant on our first attempt!  We were so excited!  Even though I had experienced 2 early miscarriages before Mikey I wasn't really worried.  I mean I carried Mikey full term with no complications, so I was going to do it again...Right?  Everything was going great, John and I went in for my first scan so excited to see our baby!  I was 8weeks so we were going to see the heartbeat and everything.  My OB started doing the scan, and there was our baby.  But I could see the worried look on her face even though she hadn't said anything.  Where was the heartbeat?  The baby was only measuring at 6weeks and I was supposed to be 8.  My OB sent me to get a more powerful scan to see if she just couldn't find it.  Same results.  I couldn't believe this was happening again.  The first 2 were a lot earlier at 4.5 and 5 weeks, so I was way past that,and they had started on their own.  I had to go in the next day March 1st to have a d&c.  I was heartbroken!

The Glimpse of a Rainbow

On December 3rd, 2012 I got long prayed for Christmas miracle!  I found out that I was pregnant!  John and I are so excited!  I still get worried sometimes, because of my previous miscarriages, but we are just taking it one day at a time!  I have my first ultrasound December 28th, and we are hoping to see a healthy baby and heartbeat!
