Two Babies on My Mind

I'm praying for this sweet baby all the time. This is our darling 3 month old foster baby that I love as my own. One of my blog friends asked if we ever hear from his parents. Yes, we stay in contact with his birth mother. We have never met his birth father. Right now, it looks as though adoption is likely, but it's still too early to know for sure.

Little Guy is smiling all the time and on the verge of laughing out loud. He loves to play with his toys and read books. He is also a very good sleeper. Last night he slept over 10 hours!!! And he's only 3 months old!! He also is a great eater. Sometimes I call him my little piggy. :) I am so in love with him! I SO wish I could show you his sweet face. Several friends & family have commented that he is one of the prettiest babies they have ever seen. Of course, I agree wholeheartedly! :)

L-->R = Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri (the day I was supposed to start my period),....and Today

Okay, so don't tell me I'm the only one who's ever continued to take pregnancy tests daily to make sure the line keeps getting darker! :)

I don't think I'll go back this week and have more blood work done (b/c of the spotting I had). Unless I have problems, I want to stay out of the doctor's office as much as possible. After having 4 miscarriages I've learned that, in my experience, in the early weeks of a pregnancy there is just not much that can be done to prevent miscarriage. You are either going to miscarry or you aren't. (In MOST cases, but I know that some women can benefit from progesterone and other meds. However, I'm already on progesterone, and I've tried other meds that didn't work for me in the past.) So I've decided that with this pregnancy I am going to do everything I can do such as using my progesterone daily, resting as much as I can, not doing heavy lifting, drinking plenty of fluids, going to all my scheduled appointments. But beyond that, it is in God's hands. And I just can't worry myself sick!!!

Believe me, I have worried myself TERRIBLY in the past!!!!! I have just about made myself frantic with worry, constantly checking myself in the bathroom, researching everything on the internet, panicking at every cramp or funny feeling in my abdomen. And what good did it do me? None! It just made me miserable. So I am praying for peace and calm during this pregnancy. Help me not to worry, Lord!

And for those of you out there trying to conceive, I was able to conceive very quickly this time. I'll tell you what I used in case you want to try it too.

FertilAid for women http://www.amazon.com/FertilAid-Women-Female-Fertility-Supplement/dp/B0002G2M9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1300111819&sr=8-1

Mucinex 12 hour Expectorant (It's the one in the blue box.) http://www.amazon.com/Mucinex-Strength-Expectorant-Bi-Layer-28-Count/dp/B000V83X6Y/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1300111888&sr=1-4 I took it morning and night starting around ovulation and continuing for about one week total. Make sure that you DON'T get the decongestant b/c that will have the opposite effect that you want!

This is the 2nd time I've immediately gotten pregnant when taking Mucinex.

I hope this helps someone out there! God bless you all on this journey to motherhood! And God bless all of our sweet readers and supporters along the way!
