| One... Two... Pee! |
I'm very excited, though a little worried about the risk of another miscarriage, and Craig is happy but says he's still a little in shock. I plan to call my Ob/Gyn today to schedule a blood test and a first ultrasound. It's exciting!
Other than telling various medical professionals for specific reasons, we're going to wait to tell anyone else at this point. The emotional stress from last time, when I had to explain the miscarriage to people that knew I was pregnant, is a big deterrent for me. Don't get me wrong, I want to tell the whole wide world that we're expecting! Especially since it's been 19 months since we first started trying. I just can't go through the experience of explaining that I miscarried again, so it's safer to just wait it out until we have a cute ultrasound picture to show people. I know that miscarriages happen and that I shouldn't be ashamed of talking about mine, but it's really not a comfortable situation for me, especially when I don't really know why it happened.
Back to the excitement for now!! Time to work on the baby registry a little bit...

Powerful
is your intercession with God, Mary, for you are his mother.
Tender , too, is your love for us, for you are our mother.
Confidently , then, I come to you as a child, poor and needy, to
seek your aid and protection. In every trial of motherhood, I beg
your aid. For the grace of a happy delivery, I come to you. For
your holy assistance in guarding and directing each tiny
soul with which God entrusts me, I call to you. In every sorrow
that comes to me in my motherhood, I confide in you.
That I
may have strength to bear cheerfully all the pains and hardships
of motherhood, I lean on you. That the sweetness of motherhood
may not through my neglect be embittered in later years by pains
of regret, I trust in you.
That the will of God may always be fulfilled in me through each act of my motherhood, little and great, I beg your aid. Never forsake me dear Mother, my hope, my consolation, my confidence, and my trust, but ever be at my side to aid and protect me, your needy child. Amen.
Mother of Love, of Sorrow, and of Mercy, Pray for us!
