Long Overdue Pictures of Our Miracle

For anyone who kept up with this site, you know we got rid of internet about a year ago, shortly before our son was born. Well, we have moved into a new place and have internet again.
So without further ado, here are pics of Alexander.... (drumroll, please...LOL). I apologize for them not being in order, I don't know exactly what happened.

Updates & New Pics

This is our newest picture of our son. Taken from the 3D ultrasound. It shows his arm behind his head. The blotches and dark spots are shadows and areas lacking enough contrast but its a pretty good image I think. They said it turned out remarkable well for him being as big and far along as he is.

A picture of me and our other baby, Zoey. She was feeling little and needed Momma to hold her. I was 27 weeks at the time.

February came and went with the usual reflection and sadness at the anniversary of our babies' deaths. This year, it was slightly confusing, as you want to feel sad remembering what could have been and our two precious children who are now in heaven, but at the same time so happy and thankful that our little boy is safe, thriving and due in just a couple months.

All said and done, I was never so happy to see March. (Both of our losses were in February and so naturally, it was a scary month for us). March 12th we had a 3D ultrasound, which was a shower gift from my parents. And then Saturday the 14th was my baby shower! So much fun.

We are so happy and blessed, and so anxious to meet our son in just a few weeks! I am 32 weeks today and I cannot express how wonderful it is to feel (and see) our little man moving and kicking. Our miracle baby has already brought so much happiness to myself, my husband and all our family and friends.

28 Weeks & Counting

We had our checkup Monday and all was perfect with our little boy. We also had an ultrasound to check his size and all due to the gestational diabetes. He's doing just great, a week ahead as usual but nothing to be concerned. Here is the latest pic, which is not a great one but he wasn't cooperating much. LOL. Its labeled so its clear to see.

Thanks for all the prayers and love we've been shown. Monday was a hard day for us to have a doc visit, as it was the 3rd anniversary of the day I delivered Nicholas at 15 weeks.

Meet Our Little Man

We went for our 20 week ultrasound today (at the regular OB) and got some great pics but this was my favorite. He almost looks like he's smiling.

Good News

Although its not "new" news, I wanted to share that we are expecting for the 3rd time. We kept things quiet for the first little while, due to all the complications we had previously. This was unplanned, unexpected and completely surprising for us, as we had pretty much given up hope of conceiving again.

I found out on September 6th, 2008 after visiting the doctor for a sinus infection. We are now 18 weeks, 4 days and we're due on May 13, 2009.

This has been a very trying time for me, emotionally and physically. I've been constantly scared of what might happen, but passing our first trimester really made us feel more at ease. (Even though I'll never completely be at ease until our little one is in our arms.)

Please keep us in your prayers that God will look over our little one and keep him or her safe until its time to arrive in this world.

God Bless,

Jenny

Spring is here again...

This is my first post in a while, but once again life has gotten in the way. February came in and went with its usual bittersweetness. My babies were born into heaven on February 3, 2004 and February 23, 2006 so needless to say its not a very great month for us anymore.

Its always hard at holidays-- Christmas, Easter...their due dates. So hard not to imagine the "what-ifs".

Abby would be going on 4 years old and baby Nicholas would be 1-1/2 years. Sometimes, even after this long, the only thing that keeps me going is that my babies are waiting for us and I will see them again.

Just my random thoughts. I hope to post more often in the future.

SO MAD!!

I am just so mad. In my town, our local drug store takes payments for our utility, phone and cable companies. I went to pay my bills and as I walked out there was a girl standing by my car, probably about 17 or 18 and about 9 months pregnant SMOKING A CIGARETTE!!! I just was shaking with anger. Why??? WHY would God allow someone like her to carry a baby to term when she has no more respect for her child's life and health than that and I have lost 2 doing every possible thing I could to keep them and myself safe and healthy.It is so unfair and makes me sick. I don't think I will ever be able to look at people in these circumstances and similar ones with a feeling of anger and resentment.I just don't get it.
