The Good and the Bad

The good news is that I'm pregnant again!  Before WLS I could not get pregnant.  After, I had a wonderful pregnancy with my now 2 year old son, Kaden.  I got pregnant again at the end of last summer, but lost the baby in November.  (I was due at the end of May.)  However, in no way do I think it was related to WLS.  So the crazy thing is that this pregnancy was twins until a day or two ago.  Each week we kept seeing the second bean growing and finally last week we saw two heartbeats.  We were happy, but scared to death.  We really only wanted one more, but were happy with whatever blessing the universe had in store for us.  So this week, we went for another ultrasound and the second baby had no heartbeat.  The first one looks great though, a good strong heartbeat and measuring perfectly.  I'm really hoping this one sticks.  I so want Kaden to be a big brother soon.  I'm scared of losing this one too, but hopefully this will be a happy and uneventful pregnancy.  Keep good thoughts for us.  Thanks! -Donna

Donna, I only wish the best for you and your family.  You are in my Prayers.   Michele

OMG Donna I am so happy for you and Tina!!! I felt so bad for you last year. I am saying my prayers and crossing everything I have gf that this little bean sticks in the oven!

I remember watching Ava's mommy go through 2 miscarriages...was awful. Ironic is that I thought I was okay, but one day shortly after she lost the second one I saw this man changing his baby diapers on the tailgate of his truck....I welled up with tears and thought that could have been my son. I praised the heavens that Ava came into all of our lives!

My other dil and son had to go IVF. That was also a big pins and needles thing! I felt horrible for Ashley because she had to go through all those shots and meds to produce eggs only to go through the harvesting which I think caused her quiet a bit of discomfort. She was injected with 3 embryo's. Only Mr. Hunter stuck in the oven which I am so thankful for! I really wanted them to have twins, but I think in time they are going to try for another.....I told them to at least wait until I have Hunter paid for!

I know you must be walking on a cloud one moment and just a basket case the next. I always feel things happen for a reason and as sad as it is that the other little bean did not make it....it has made way for this bean to come into you, Tina's and Kaden's lives! Take super duper care of yourself sweetpea....I am way past excited for all of you!!!!  

Wow, Donna...I had no idea of all of this! It was great to see you and BIG Kaden last Saturday at coffee...

What happens to the other heartbeat that was there...to that twin?? Will you be ok? Will the baby that is still there continue to thrive? I don't get how that works... praying that you and this baby are healthy and well!!

I don't think the loss of the twin will affect the healthy one, but I honestly don't know.  I'm just hoping for it to stick and be healthy.  Only time will tell I guess, and I'll keep you updated.  I know I'll feel better once I'm into my second trimester and past the point of my loss from last time.  It was good to see you too, what a big group! -Donna

, how exciting!! Sorry about your losses! I will be praying that all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy! I hope you, Tina, and Kaden are blessed with a beautiful, healthy new addition to your family!! May God bless you all!      big hugs, Becky

Fantastic news Donna...I'll be keeping you and the baby in my prayers. =)
