Pregnant after a Loss

Intro...pinch me, I think I'm dreaming!

Well...my TTC journey began 10 months ago...in that time I had a BFP in April with a missed MC and D&C in June at 12 weeks, then I had a second BFP in September and a CP about 10 days later...and here I am, nervously intro-ing again!
I've been feeling a little off for the last few days...very emotional and my body has been really, really warm (strange, I know), I've also had some pulling in my abdomen. I decided to test early (yesterday was 10dpo), I tested in late afternoon and got a very, very faint, squinty BFP. My DH was like "I don't think that's a line, but I see what you're looking at". I did my best to sleep through the night and at 6 this morning I took another test...still a light line, but definitely two lines! I'm excited of course, and pretty terrified too! I called my Dr. this morning and they have me coming in on Wednesday because of my loss history...I'm hoping they will draw betas.
The timing of this BFP is very special to me...this was my last shot at getting a BFP before my original EDD which is just 2 weeks from today. Also, today, December 3rd is the anniversary of my Dad's death. 31 years ago, my Dad lost his battle with Cancer at just 34 years old. For the 1st time, this day had brought good news and joy to my family and I'm hoping that this little bean will end up being my rainbow baby!
To the ladies at TTCAL...I can't even begin to thank you for the kindness, support and laughs you have given me over the last 6 months. I truly don't think I would have known how to navigate TTCAL with out all of you! There are so many of you that have become more than just "people on a board"...you have become friends.
To all of you here at PGAL...please squeeze over and make room! If anyone has any spare tape, gorilla glue...heck, you can nail my butt down if it will keep me here for the next 9 mths!
Finally...Lees...thanks for the support last night! Love ya, girl!

My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.
“So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
