holding the test, minutes after I took it. |
1. How far along are you? I'm 12 weeks. Due at the beginning of April.
2. Are you and Stephanie due around the same time? Yes, within days. It's so fun (or it will be when the sickness ends).3. Are you nervous because of your miscarriage? Absolutely but I can't dwell on it. I have a good feeling that this is all going to work out.
4. Are you going to have an epidural again? I wanted to do it without medication last time but after 20 hours I gave up. Then I had the most amazing epidural that if I could guarantee the same experience I wouldn't even hesitate! But we'll see.
5. Do you feel like it's a boy or a girl? Do you care which? I figure since I already have a boy, I can't go wrong either way! I do feel quite different this time around and David and I both just "have a feeling" it's a girl but we'll see.
6. Are you really sick? I was feeling absolutely lay-on-the-couch-all-day-while-William-watched-a-hundred-movies horrible for a few weeks but I'm feeling better as long as I make sure I eat first thing in the morning. And I can't really eat hamburgers anymore without serious consequences. That makes me very sad.
7. Are you excited? Yes!
congratulations! I don't even know you but I've been reading your blog for so long that I'm ecstatic for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah!! Babies are such a blessing! So happy for you and your family!!
ReplyDeleteI had a miscarriage 2 years ago and a few months later got pregnant with our daughter. Losing that baby made me even more grateful, anxious and totally in love with our daughter. Really put things into perspective, you know?!
I'll be praying for you AND Stephanie! Your family will be doubly blessed this Spring!!
happy for you liz! ♥

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Fab news.
ReplyDeleteThe fear of miscarriage never goes away. I remember reading the post you wrote about your miscarriage and how your emotions were very much the same that I had. My first two pregnancies were miscarriages and it was one of the lowest times of my life. So happy for you...I look forward to reading more. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone!!! You made a beautiful boy so I'm pretty sure if this time you get a baby girl - she'll be the most charming, girliesh girl in the world... just like her momma (inside and out)
ReplyDeleteSo this is the answer to my comment yesterday. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy! Hope you feel well soon. a
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I had hoped this would happen for you again soon! I am due with our second at exactly the same time...12 weeks, due April 8th...so I'm looking forward to following along with your journey!
ReplyDeleteah ha! so THAT'S why I had a hard time getting you excited about either of the restaurants we were considering taking you to downtown! (before that blasted blackout ruined all our plans, of course...)
ReplyDeletetoo bad, we would have loved to see you...next time! and you will actually feel like eating next time. xo congrats.
I'm SO happy for you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news!
Yay! You finally "officially" announced it! Now I can openly talk about how much I'm going to spoil and love that new little baby of yours! I'm glad you are starting to feel better. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! I am so excited for you!! I WAS wondering all of those things, as a matter of fact. ;) hope you start feeling better soon, but really i just hope that cute kid just keeps growing in there. good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteCongrats....to you and David, and William. YEA!!! =)

Dear "Me",
Enjoy your lonely pathetic life as a troll. I hope that Liz deletes your ignorant comment, but until then everyone that reads it will know how pathetic you are in your anonymous trolling profile. If you are any kind of decent human being, you will delete this comment yourself and spare everyone here your unwanted presence.
Thanks for nothing,
Will
Huge congratulations to you. I have thought about you since you blogged about your miscarriage. Even as a non-mom, I appreciated your perspective and honesty.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you in my prayers!

I'm so glad you finally spilled the beans.... I almost did several times and it was driving me crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Me,
ReplyDeleteI am Liz's unofficial body guard. Where can we meet to discuss life and to consider the lilies of the field? You clearly need someone to help you "smell the roses". I'm here to help.
