Worth the Wait: Our Baby Bird Is Here!!

Welcome to Worth the Wait!!

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog! This is Birdie's blog - a blog about my simple, cozy life with my dreamy husband and fat cat Frisk. More specifically, it's a place where I can write about my experiences with recurrent miscarriage. I hope you'll enjoying reading! And if you're experiencing anything like what I'm going through I pray you'll find HOPE! While I do have my moments when I cry and feel discouraged, my hope is in Jesus Christ, and He always picks me up and never lets me go!! Thank You, Lord!

And now I can finally add that after 4 miscarriages and 3 surgeries, our baby was born in November, 2011!!! Thank You, Jesus!!!

November 27 - Positive pregnancy test ... Surprised & hopeful

December - Spotting

December 21 - First ultrasound. Measuring 6w4d. Expected to measure about 8 weeks. Saw heart beating. 92 beats per minute. Mass seen beside baby. Possible molar pregnancy along with baby or vanishing twin. Spent whole next week praying and battling anxiety and fear. Jesus never left me alone.

2013

January - D&C. The staff were so kind, but I was very tearful afterwards. It didn't help that when I checked in at the front desk in the main lobby, they asked if I'd received my OB packet in the mail. Feeling like I just want to be normal again and enjoy my baby girl without TTC for at least a year.
