 I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. (more?)

Today, all things considered, has been good. Lots of crying, lots of sadness, but a lot of optimism. My doctor, Greg, and I all agreed that given my physical state (absolutely no sign of miscarriage still) and mental state (eh) that it would be wise to proceed with a D&C. Mine will be tomorrow [...] There was a post I had in Drafts, praying so hard it could see the light of the Internet. It could not. Not long after our miscarriage in May, we were cautiously excited to learn we were expecting again. Immediate bloodwork was done, progesterone was started. The betas were fabulous and I could stop [...] It appears we’re all done with hand-foot-mouth disease over here. Finally. Greg ended up missing two days of work, and had to forego working on our house the past weekend. He still has a good number of dots on his hands, but at least he has feeling back in them, and the pain is [...] One good turn deserves another, right? Greg is now the newest victim of hand-foot-mouth disease. He says his hands are burning with the rash, he has it all over his face, general fatigue, and just overall feeling yucky. He also had a high fever (100*F, for the man who runs around 97*, that’s pretty [...] Poor Benedict. In addition to getting a bunch of teeth in, he also has some spectacular polka dots on him. At first, I thought “chicken pox!” since we don’t do the chicken pox vaccination. I had images of taping mittens on hands, scratchy babies, but chicken pox nonetheless. Then, I actually Googled chicken pox [...] I am in a very precarious place at the moment. I am coming out of a large sleep drought (bad insomnia, what joy). Only this week, have I been able to sleep well, with the help of Hyland’s Calm’s Forte. I still feel somewhat submerged in a world of chaos, interior chaos that I [...] After writing this post, everything was great. Well, as great as they could be. Greg and I made the decision to not have a follow-up ultrasound, based on my physical recovery. If you know the details of our first loss, recovery physically was pretty much identical to that. And if you don’t, let me [...] Thank you all for your prayers. We are doing “okay” over here. Yesterday was a particularly hard day for me, because I think things became more real. Not as if I was living in denial but I think the realization that “oh, we lost the baby. We’re not pregnant.” made it through to every [...] I don’t like writing this post. In a sense, though; I am relieved to be writing this post. Unless something changes, we most likely lost the baby. I started doing more than just bleed late this afternoon. The irony is that my progesterone was low. I had the bottle of progesterone in my hand. [...] Last night I had some major optimism when the spotting went away for a couple of hours. However, it returned around 10pm last night and has steadily progressed to light bleeding, to moderate bleeding with some slight cramping. Everything is pointing to miscarriage, despite seeing what we should be seeing yesterday. I haven’t actually [...] |
