We have two incredible kids. A year ago, we decided to have one more. One year later, I've held one dead baby in my arms and one in the palm of my hand. We'd like to have one that lives next time. Is that too much to ask? Only time will tell.

Five years ago, I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby boy and he is alive and well today. Two years later, I saw my first dead baby on an ultrasound. Shortly after I got pregnant again and, despite a blood clot that caused me to bleed for 10 weeks, I had a baby girl in June 2004. I got pregnant with our third child in July 2005. In December 2005 I had no choice but to deliver my baby girl at 23 weeks, knowing that she would die immediately. I found the courage to try again and in April 2006 got pregnant again. In July 2006, I delivered my 10 1/2 week old baby boy into the palm of my hand. Now in March 2007, I am 26 weeks pregnant. I am trying again to have a baby that lives. Because every good drama needs one: here's the twist. My husband and I are currently donating his sperm to our dear friends, a lesbian couple who want a known donor for their second child. Holy leap of faith.

I will be hoping and praying that it is nothing. OMG.
You are in my thoughts. Did you mention that you had spotting before that was ok? I am truly sending much love your way.

Oh God no. I'll be thinking of you and hoping hoping hoping that everything is going to be okay.
Oh Oh Oh! Sending you white light and good, live baby vibes. I wish I could do more.
No. This can't happen again. It just can't.
Please please please let this be nothing. I am thinking about you......
Thinking of you and saying a prayer for you and your family.

no no no..de-lurking to send good vibes and love.
I am so sorry. Thinking of you and hoping hard that this turns out to be nothing more than an awful scare.
Dude. What the FUCK?
Alright: deep breath. Many, many completely innocuous things cause spotting. Hopefully, you are experiencing one of those things.
We'll be thinking of you today!
I am so sorry this is happening. I will be praying for you and baby that you will hear great news tomorrow at dr's appt.
Well, shit. I hope this is just the spotting you got with your daughter (and I hope I got that reference right). I'll have my fingers crossed for you.
I will be thinking of you and the baby and hoping for the best...
I hope everything is ok. Please let it be ok.
Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed in FL. I know you know that spotting isn't always bad, but I also know you know that sometimes it is.
Hoping and praying that this turns out okay for you guys.
This is a nice world baby. You'll like it here. You've got good parents waiting for you. Stick around and find out.
Still thinking of you nonstop. Right now I am hoping you are not sitting endlessly in a waiting room and that you are getting amazning speedy service with the ultrasound. And that everything is OK.
Seriously hoping all went well this morning. You're in my thoughts, as is your little baby.
You are in my thoughts. I hope all works out well. We are all here for you either way. (((HUGS)))
