Today we had our 6 wk sonogram. It looks like there is only one baby, which is good. I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed that both embryos didn't implant but I know having a single pregnancy is safer than twins.
The pregnancy is in the uterus in a good place. It was too early to see a heartbeat so I will go back in a week.
I am very excited although I am also nervous. I just pray everyday that God will keep this baby healthy and strong. I hope that I can hold this child in my arms and watch them grow into an adult.
It sounds like a simple wish, but we all know how precious that gift would be.
Thank you for all your prayers. |

I got a shocker today at my 9 wk sonogram. I was pregnant with twins until about a week ago. One baby died sometime last week.
My emotions were all over the place because I thought I was only pregnant with one for the last 3 weeks. It felt terrible to know that there were 2 in there only to find out that now one was gone.
I am dealing with it ok. And the remaining baby is thriving and doing great. I have "graduated" from the specialist and will now go to my OB. Please keep praying.

Sharon,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I really hope that you are doing well and remain in good spirits. I am real glad to hear that your live baby is thriving and doing well. Do you have any answers as to why the one did not survive? You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure that Hope and Drew will take great care of Baby G. May I ask what G stands for? Keep me posted and let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. Stay strong sweetie!

Sharon,
After reading different forums, I knew you had lost another baby and wanted to know the whole story before I shared my condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss, but I am also thrilled for this baby growing inside of you!
I want you to know that you and your whole family are in my prayers! Please keep us posted as to how you are doing. If for no other reason than to check on you and this little one, I will check in more regularly. I know you are probably scared, but I pray that God fills you with peace and comfort and immense joy for this little one.
I am so sorry though that you had to go through the shock and pain of losing again. I know it is much different than with Drew, but be careful not to "stuff" your feelings when they arise for your newest little angel. Know that it is not a sign of weakness or lack of gratitude for the baby you do have to mourn the one you lost.
I am torn with emotions for you, too. I have to admit it lifted my spirits to hear that you are still expecting, though, and that we have someone special to celebrate and look forward to.
When is your due date, if you don't mind me asking? Forgive me if I am being too forward! I suppose you will share when yo are ready, that is fine!
Just to let you know...I have heard a few times in my life of instances where a twin or triplet has passed on early in the pregnancy. One triplet was 15 weeks along and they absorbed back into the body of the mother (or so the mother told me). I can't say that I fully understand that after seeing Josiah, but my point is, the other babies (twins in that particular story) are alive and as healthy as can be!!!
Please don't let this loss scare you any, if you can. Also, if you don't mind some unsolicited advice, it may not be the healthiest thing for you to read about all of the losses here, unless it will help you with Drew and Baby G. Try to focus on "life" and not "loss" if you can! This is a time to rejoice and not to worry!
With immense love and intense prayers,
Lisa Day

Our due date is April 2009. We got some great sonogram pics on Friday. Things look very healthy and normal.
It's hard to explain how I feel reading these forums. They don't make me fear more for my own baby. I feel sorrow for the losses but they don't make me scared. They also don't weigh me down and I don't carry the sorrow with me when I log off the site.
I am also a member of a loss support group at my church and I look forward to the meetings. It reminds me that we all survived our loss and we aren't going to let it keep us down.

| I am now 18 weeks and doing well. I went to the doctor today and everything is on target. I am starting to feel more attached each day and I believe it is a good thing. Making it to 40 weeks still feels like a lifetime away but I will take it one step at a time. |
