I was so excited, and so very scared at the same time! I had suffered a miscarriage just 4.5 weeks prior. I immediately called my midwife, but she didn't answer. She says, "If I don't answer, send me a txt!" So I sent her a txt. I called and told Hubby, he was excited, but also nervous.
Shakyra and I went to Shelby's school to spend the last couple of hours of 2nd grade with her. Deep inside, all I could think about was the fact that I was going to give the girls a sibling. However, to protect their hearts, I knew, I had to keep this a secret until I was further along. My midwife called while I was attending Shelby's assembly. Have you ever tried talking on a phone, with 500 kids singing silly songs in a gymnasium??? Yea, I didn't think so! LOL So I snuck into the bathroom to talk to her. She couldn't believe I had a positive test after my blood work on Monday, but she said, congratulations! Now go to the clinic and get blood work. I will call and let them know you are coming in today! She also started me on Prometrium, since my progesterone was low, and you need the progesterone to support a pregnancy!
I gave the baby the nickname Skittle... because any baby conceived/born after a loss is a "Rainbow baby." So I just thought that it was cute, and fitting. =)
I only told a few close friends and family... those that I knew would help me, just in case, this pregnancy, wasn't meant to be. Little did I know...
I know this is over a year old, but I'm finally catching up with your journey. You're an amazing mama! ;)
