Many of you have read my update by now… I am pregnant after two losses! It was such a journey to get here, and being pregnant has been a journey in and of itself. There have been so many sweet moments, but there have also been hard moments too.

For starters, I was only 3 weeks pregnant when I found out. This meant that I would have to wait at least a month before being able to see anything show up in an ultrasound. Because of my history with loss, I still had to go to the doctor immediately for bloodwork. I had my hcg (pregnancy hormones) and my progesterone checked.

Waiting for those results drove me insane. My second miscarriage happened so fast that I didn’t have time to have my levels checked. I was so scared I wouldn’t find out in time. Thankfully, that Friday evening, my nurse called. My progesterone had dropped, and I was prescribed progesterone. I ran to the pharmacy, and I started taking it that night.

It would be a few weeks before I would be able to go back to the doctors, and this is when my word/motto of the year began to encourage me.
