If you haven't read these two blogs, check in on them. There circumstances are unique, and end with a baby in their arms after each had given up hope (one moving on to GC, the other 3 months into an adoption wait). Let the hope surpass the fear, let it wash over you and heal your heart.

For me, even though I was going through all the milestones in my pregnancies, I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. The worry never ends. It's only normal. I was on the OR table getting a c-section and I was still worried that the other shoe would drop! Just try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy...

Even though I am a bit of a wordsmith, I admit to erroneously using 'unchartered'. Learn something new every day :)<br /><br />Hurray on being this far along; hurray for moments of peace juxtaposed with moments of reassurance; hurray for being pregnant, Mo!<br /><br />For your mental health, I highly encourage you to buy or rent a fetal doppler. As I have said here before, it was my lifeline to both my son and my sanity and I really did use it right until the end of my pregnancy, well after I could feel consistent movement. It was the best thing I ever did for myself when I was pregnant (and, if it turns out that his is my only pregnancy, I will cherish those memories even more).It Is What It Ishttp://itiswhatitisorisit.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-77682067533460274822012-03-29T16:16:56.218-04:002012-03-29T16:16:56.218-04:00It's such a magical thing.
