Updated to Add: A strong, healthy heart rate in the 160’s!
(The baby’s, that is, not mine.)
Thank you thank you thank you for your prayers! Please be assured that you have mine—prayers of gratitude, relief and JOY.

…that I have my first OB appointment. I have been waiting six weeks to hear that little heartbeat—will I? Won’t I? Will I? Won’t I?
My consolation has been that I’ve been so, SO nauseous…and am on a first-name basis with our couch and my bed. “Hello, Couch. Hello, Bed.”
“You again?” They are not affirming. “How ‘bout you get to know that bike of yours? How about that treadmill?”
Still. “Feeling” pregnant is not resting assured that one is pregnant. If you could spare a prayer for me today (my appointment is at 3:00 p.m.) I would be ever grateful. Please include all those mothers who have gone this route of loss & hope…and who know exactly where I’m at.
Candle lit all day for you and baby. Will be anxiously stalking you here, on FB and in email. Just FYI!
Will be praying for you!
3 pm is the hour of mercy. Will pray for you.
Many many prayers. 🙂
Praying here, too!
Many prayers, including prayers for peace for you in the hours you have yet to wait!
Praying, praying! St. Girard, st. Ann, pray forMargaret and Sweet Pea!
I will be praying at the 3 o'clock hour. Divine Mercy hear our prayers.
Jesus we Trust in You!

Ava for you and baby!

I'll be praying for you & yours today.
And praytell, how did you arrange for an appointment at the three o'clock hour?!? Praying for you, for sure! xo
I wish I could say I planned that, Kimberlee! In truth, my doctor–an awesome, Prolife, Catholic woman–is very much in demand around here. You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit. 🙂
many prayers!
prayers and I'll set a timer for 3:00 prayers too…totally understand.
I will pray for you. I know all too well what you are feeling. May God be with you on this day and every day! 🙂

Praising God for good news (from Disney World!)!!
Wonderful news. Continuing to keep you all in my prayers. And, boy, did those 6 weeks seem like forever…I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this update, dying to ask, not wanting to pry or add stress. It is all about me, right?
Awesome! So thankful you posted an update…this brought tears of joy to my eyes.

So happy! And I second Michelle–I've counted from your original mention of your appt. several times just trying to figure out how soon there might be news. Crying tears of joy for you and praying away.
Yay, thank God! (I knew it)
God bless that little Minnesota baby!
Had to hop on over after reading the update on Facebook. Busy today, so didn't even know you had the appointment until now. Just last night I was telling hubby that you must have your appt. one of these days. And I was right!!
I've been eager for you and greatly anticipating today too 🙂 SO excited for you and keeping up prayers for you and baby.
I cannot wait to follow along through a pregnancy with you!!
What a blessing!!!!!! Congratulations!! I'll be praying for you and your baby!!
God Bless,
Pat
Hurray!
Thank God eh 😀

Several months ago I emailed you after enduring my 6th miscarriage and you were such a wonderful support and consoler. I am so happy for you and will continue to keep you all in my prayers!!
Such wonderful news, I am 22 weeks, due Oct. 8th, and we were pregnant together with you last sweet boy. Congrats to your whole family!!
Yay! Praise God!
So, so glad for you! When is your due date?

Oh Happy Day!!!
Congrats! Will be praying for you and your precious little one!
Deo gratias! We've been praying for you and your littlest one. I'm *so* happy for you! :o)
Was praying for you and the baby all day yesterday. That heartbeat is the best sound in the world. Congratulations! You and the little one will stay in our prayers. Do you have some of those Right to Life precious feet or hand pins? I just love them at this point in the pregnancy – puts the size in perspective.
Congratulations and continuing prayers. lois in Indy
Happy for all of you. Prayers continuing to come your way.

Tears of joy for you, my friend! Thank you, Jesus!
