I was hoping on Friday to have a special announcement. What would be a better way to begin this blog than with an ultrasound picture of baby #3, right? Well...things didn't exactly go as planned. Todd and I anxiously arrived at the doctor on Friday morning expecting to see a tiny baby with a heartbeat. I was hoping to be around 7-8 weeks along. What we saw....was a 5 week empty gestational sac. We were told that it looked like an early miscarriage, since I was nearly positive that I wasn't just 5 weeks along.
Devastated. I have never had a miscarriage, but of course it is your worst fear during the first trimester. To answer the question that everyone had: YES, we were open to having a third child. It wasn't an accident that I became pregnant.
We are faced with the following situation...Either we had a miscarriage and just need to wait to see what happens/have surgery (most likely) OR there is a VERY SLIM chance that I am somehow only 5 weeks along. I will be having an ultrasound on the 14th to check and see what the conclusion ends up being. Of course...I may find out before then.
All I can do right now is pray. I know it's in God's hands, and that he has a plan. I also find peace in my crazy little 2-year old and my all-grown-up-almost-6-year old. I get to hug them every day, knowing how blessed I am to be their Mommy. Nonetheless it's going to be one. long. week.
The good news is that I have some really fun things to look forward to this week...We will be planning our Celebrate and Connect Thirty-One meeting tomorrow night, so I get to have dinner with my girls. It's my first meeting as a SENIOR DIRECTOR! Wednesday is Logan's SIXTH birthday, so we will be celebrating Wednesday night as well. Definitely some fun events to look forward to!
So in the meantime...I am going to sit here, listen to Todd yell at the Steelers game, and just get mentally ready for the week. Say some prayers for me, would you?
