My heart is filled with sadness lately for these lovely ladies who have received BFN on their cycles; Baby on Mind, Julia, and Hillary. Oh how I wish I could take away their pain. I continue to pray for them and I know that God is the only one that can ease their burdens.
I know it's hard for some people to read about pregnancy annoucements or progress when they are still struggling with their own journey. And some people choose to no longer 'follow' or just check in once in a while on those blogs.
I get it. I've been there. I understand how incredibly hard it is. Please know that if you decide not to read my blog anymore, I understand completely.
I will be 8 wks on Saturday. I've never made it past 8 wks. My very first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but I didn't find out until my 12 wk appt, but the dr. guestimated that it probably happened around 8 or 9 wks, but they weren't sure. My second miscarriage was at 8 wks. And my third miscarriage was a week after my first beta (the numbers never got high enough, then dropped). I've been anxious this week as we approach the 8 wk milestone. I go in next Tuesday for my last appt with the RE. I keep praying that this tiny little life inside me is still growing.
I had two people approach me at church on Sunday and asked me about my pregnancy. I was suprised that they even knew because I'm pretty sure they do not read my blog. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised because people do talk, regardless if you think you can trust them. It is what it is. I know they all mean well.
Steve left this morning to go to upstate NY to visit his family for the weekend. I can't go with him because I don't have enough vacation time (and I need to save what little I do have). Since he's always been the one to give me my shots, I've been practicing the last week to give myself my Love.nox shot (blood thin.ner). It's not too bad doing it yourself. I haven't been bruising at all since I've been doing it. I still have plenty of battle scars, but at least I'm not getting anymore (Love.nox is notorious for bruising).
I will spend the weekend with Abbey celebrating her real birthday and counting my blessings for making it to 8 wks. I have to take it one day at a time and keep putting my faith in the Lord.

I am praying for you! I noticed from what I have read that 8 weeks is a magical number for you. I have been praying for you to hit 8 weeks one day & beyond. You have touched my heart with your gentle soul and your joy through all of the trials you have been through. Hang in there and I will await your next update to hear wonderful things!
I'm praying that you get through the 8 week mark and beyond with no complications. I'm glad they are keeping you on the Lovenox injections for now! Keep us updated on next appointment.
This week is a huge milestone! Can't wait to hear about your appointment/graduation next week! Enjoy this time...you deserve every happy moment!
Praying for you and your baby. You'll fly past 8 weeks and be in your way to mamahood!!!

Hey Hannah, I too have been praying for you and checking in to read your blog. I hope this week goes quickly and that you are able to have a sense of calm inside of you.
You are so Lucky to not bruise from Lovenox...whatever tricks I do I still seem to bruise and when I bruise lately they last forever and ever....I understand making it past the 8wk mark it will be a victory:) Our number was 8 1/2 and it is such a blessing we have to cont on our pregnancy and we are so blessed everyday...You will be too:)
That is very honorable of you to respect your friends that are still trying to conceive. You have been in my thoughts and prayers as your baby reaches 8 weeks. I pray your body remains healthy and your baby remains strong. I feel strong with this IVF! This is the one!
