Pregnancy #5: Today, I'm pregnant.

(Job 1:21) The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.

Today we praise the Lord for giving.

In preparation for tomorrow's beta, Berilac and I decided we would pee on a stick at home, to prepare ourselves for the type of call we would be receiving on Saturday. (Sorry for the blurry picture, it was taken with my iPhone.)


We are so grateful for pregnancy number 5, we hope that tomorrow's beta results will support a healthy pregnancy.

I guess I don't remember what a pregnancy feels like, otherwise, this one is DIFFERENT than all the others ... and will be a healthy and full term pregnancy - here's hoping.

Thank you Lord that we are pregnant today, please keep our embryos nestled safely in our womb for a good long stay.

  31. When I read the header to your post "Today, I'm pregnant" I thought, well, it's good to be positive about PUPO but...c'mon. And then I saw the pee sticks. This isn't positive thinking, YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!!!

    WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Another CCRM success story. My goodness!

    I am SO thrilled for you, truly. I can't wait to hear of your beta and follow you along this wonderful journey you so deserve. And I hope you'll one day have a beautiful video clip telling the congregation about the miracle(s) squirming and fussing behind you! That will be a joyful clip to watch!

  32. Many congratulations to you!! Sounds like you deserve the universe to give you a break and I truly hope it does!!

    Look after yourselves...xx

  33. P.S. I'm one of those "habitual aborters" too. You'd think they'd come up with a better name for that. I'm currently on pregnancy no 6. 5 early miscarriages and 1 stillbirth of our daughter. to say that I'm nervous would be an understatement. I really hope it works for both of us, and everyone else trying.

    xx
