This has been a difficult month...right now my body is going through a possible miscarriage. I haven't ever had one before, but it is so hard to deal with the unknown. Last month, we were happily surprised to find out I was pregnant. And then last week, I had an appointment with my midwife and they couldn't find a heartbeat, although I thought I was 12 weeks along. Still, I was optimistic that all was fine, until the ultrasound. I had a blood test done which showed my HCG levels to be at 10,000, which means the baby stopped growing about 5 weeks. My body kept growing, the uterus and placenta thought all was well...
My littlest nephew, John Frederick, turned 3 months old this week. And his papa, Andrey, will be 42 next week.
oh Martha, I am so so sorry about what you are going through right now. I will be praying for you. HUGS and lots and lots of love send your way... (and lovely pictures of course)...
ReplyDeleteI had only one miscarriage, and it was so heartbreaking, even though I was of course thankful for all I had, including five children -- it doesn't change that you are suffering a great loss, which can't be replaced. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, dear Martha! I know what you feel and what you go through. Two years ago I was pregnant with our third child and, at 8 weeks I had a slight bleeding, went to the hospital and they found an empty embrionic sac. I was devastated. The baby hadn't been there for some weeks. And still I was having all the pregnancy symptoms...
ReplyDeleteDespite the sorrow I realised I had to count my blessings, like you do now and be happy for all God's great gifts.
