Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: Still Pregnant

This blog is just about my life and mostly revolves around my son, Jamie. This blog is a combination of everything, whether it may be a new recipe I tried, a good freebie I found, something funny Jamie said, or feelings I'm having about life in general. There's little rhyme or reason. I'll never win any blogging awards, but I enjoy writing about our lives and I mostly do it for my son. It's so easy to forget moments over the years. I've got all these little tidbits of our life in print and I hope that someday Jamie can enjoy them.

I called this blog Mother of Life, Mother of Loss because of my issues with pregnancy loss and the joy of finally bringing this wonderful person into the world. Truly, I feel the pains of loss, but you won't see too much of that here. I am blessed and I am, above all else, a mother of life.

After all the years of infertility and loss, Matthew and I were blessed with a surprise pregnancy. We were pregnant with twins, but unfortunately, Baby A could not stay with us. Baby B grew into a healthy and happy baby girl that we named Bella Marie. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children.

Still Pregnant

Well, my hcg levels are still rising, but kind of slowly. They were 37 thousand something on Monday. They've scheduled an ultrasound for Thursday. I'm sick from the progesterone. I'm taking Zofran in an attempt to keep the severe nausea at bay, but it's not working as well as it should. I just want to lay in bed on my stomach. Too bad Bella has other plans.
