How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?

It's so so early... just 4 weeks. Waiting for betas to come back. I feel silly for even posting anything this early but if you have any extra prayers, I would truly appreciate it.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?

Tomorrow morning I go in for another blood draw. I am just trying to take it one step at a time.

QOTW: How do you or how will you answer the hard question, "Is this your first?"

I really hate that question and I will probably always struggle with that answer. I guess it depends on who asks? The truth is that I know it's not my first and I guess that is all that matters

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

So so nervous and I am really numb but so very grateful. This is my fourth pregnancy and I have no living children just yet. Keep thinking and hoping that my baby girl is keeping an eye on this new pregnancy from Heaven.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 10 weeks. The baby is the size of a strawberry.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have an appointment on Tuesday.

QOTW: How do you or how will you answer the hard question, "Is this your first?" I have answered this question honestly by saying 'We have a daughter who passed away.'

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm just nervous about my appt. I'm hoping the doctor can calm my nerves a little, and give me a better outline of what the plan is for this pregnancy. And always thinking of my Jillian. I've been really sad lately and missing her a lot.

Hello Ladies,

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?

QOTW: How do you or how will you answer the hard question, "Is this your first?"

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Mobile bumping as usual... sorry.

I'm 29 weeks tomorrow. Baby is the size of an acorn squash.

Starting weekly appointments this Tuesday. I think this will be hugely helpful in managing my anxiety.

The way I answer the dreaded question always depends on who's asking. If it's a total stranger I usually just say yes, it's my first. Casual acquaintances who might not know about our loss I usually say that we had a son who passed away and that this is our first girl. When someone who knows about our loss incorrectly refers to this baby as our first I always quickly correct them.

Not much new on my mind this week. Same anxieties about movement and making it another eight weeks to full term. Oh, and praying I passed my three hour glucose test.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?

8w5d, kidney bean

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?

I had my first prenatal appointment on Monday-it went really well. Next one in two weeks, to hopefully hear the heartbeat.

QOTW: How do you or how will you answer the hard question, "Is this your first?"

I haven't had to answer this yet, but I hope I'll be able to answer truthfully and succinctly, "no, we had a son who passed away last summer". I've been able to say something like that when people ask if I have any kids ("yes, but our son passed away...").

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just trying to stay positive and calm. I've done a pretty good job so far of enjoying this pregnancy and the possibility of bringing home this little one. I still think about Julian all the time, and now that the weather is warmer, I have to see my neighbor's daughter more. She was born just a few weeks before Julian, and we were planning on basically raising them together. I haven't been able to bring myself to interact with her at all since Julian died, and I already find myself avoiding our yard on nice days because I know they'll be out. Seeing them is just such a stinging reminder of everything we're missing out on.

Well, I am with Jess12345 about it being sooooo early. I can't believe I am actually responding to this post. I am 4w3d so I only have a poppy seed.

I couldn't get an appointment until may 15 so I am hoping since I will be 6 weeks that I will be able to get some reassurance.

This will not be my first since I have a 3 year old DS but I am very honest with people that I lost my second son.

I have been cramping and I totally thought AF was imminent. My line is getting darker but I am still having a hard time believing that this is real.

Congrats, Jess and LuckE!

MommytoAngel · May 2013

Congrats everyone! And safe keeping thoughts for all the precious little ones! I am hoping to try again after our time period is up... Kind of a scary bittersweet thought though.

It's great to hear good stories of these Rainbow babies though!
