About Me

Call it a test of Faith, strength and will. I can't believe that I am here again after the loss of my Son Connor who was Stillborn on February 20, 2015. Everyday has been a struggle since that day I found out we lost our Baby... a child who was created with so much love. I lost a part of me that day... my life will forever have a void.
On May 13, 2015 after visiting my Perinatologist, we went over the fact it was Premature Placental Aging that ultimately caused the demise of our son and was given the "go ahead" to try again.
During this 1st cycle, we conceived again! After our 1st month of trying, I am here again! It is a MIRACLE that this has happened again this soon and I was in no way expecting this. Everything was off... I couldn't get a postive OPK. I was sure I missed our opportunity but I took a HPT on what I think is 13dpo, and I got a Positive!!!!
I am hopeful and Pray I have my Miracle Rainbow!

My Birth Plan

This time around is going to be a little different. If all goes well this pregnancy (stress tests starting at 32 weeks, Ultrasounds to keep an eye on growth and other tests) I will be induced February 5th 2016. (Confirmed as of Dec 9)
I will definitely allow them to make me as comfortable as possible with an epidural. Being induced with Connor, my body reacted TOO WELL with Pitocin so I am hopeful it will be a quick delivery too. Praying for this Baby... Please Lord, let me hold this baby in my arms alive and healthy giving me decades watching my baby live a wonderful, successful life. Amen.

	Comment from SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 1, 2015 12:47pm Hi there! I just read the comment you left on my journal entry, and I wanted to stop by your page and leave you some love :) I have got to say, after reading over your page, I was in tears. Your story is heartbreaking :( I am so, so sorry for the loss of your precious son. I am so happy for you, that you were able to conceive again and on the first cycle - that's incredible! I will send prayers up as often as I can think to for you. Even though we don't know each other in 'real life', I think we as moms who have been through some struggle have something special in common. Though my situation has been different in it's own regard. Here's to a happy, healthy, and safe 9 months - and before you know it, I have faith that you will be holding your sweet baby in your arms - and all will be well and right within your world. God Bless you and your pregnancy!

	Comment from calvingirl » Posted Jul. 31, 2015 10:27am Thinking of you as well. We're waiting till Mid October cycle to start trying again, but fingers crossed, I can start this process before Christmas. I completely agree with your plan above and it looks just like what I'll be asking for - NSTs starting at 28wks, ultrasounds often and induction at 39 wks or sooner based on size. How are you feeling? This whole process of a Rainbow baby has to be both terrifying and wonderful. I know what I anticipate it, that's what I feel. HUGS!!
