The Roller Coaster has begun

It has been a week since we learned that we were fortunate to be given the gift of being parents again. The journey for many to being parents for many is an easy straight foreword road. Ours has been more like a rollercoaster. The first time the ride was scary and ended in sadness. The second time it was an amazing ride that ended with a beautiful boy waiting at the end of the ride. The third time  the ride started and then had to be shut down for maintenance with our ectopic. For many, perinatal loss will not end up in a happy ending, but it did for us. I hope for those of you reading this it will for you. 

It has been an amazing time of getting ready for this next ride in our life. We have started to plan for this new ride and with our support network I know it will be good ending. I have gotten the confirmation from my doctor of the pregnancy, had my case referred to a OBGYN, got tests ordered and done. We also have an Ultrasound next week, to date and make sure the pregnancy is viable. MY OBGYN has also ordered additional blood work every other day for the next week to help make sure things are going well. While I am scared of the idea that we could have a repeat of past lost pregnancies, I know that I have the best team looking after my health and that I am in good hands.

I hope to be able keep writing every week, share my updates and thoughts with everyone. Thank you for your support.
