Hi everyone, things are going well here. Only three more weeks until we find out the sex!
I think I'm finally coming out of the exhaustion and into a second wind. I was astonished to have the energy to do the dishes on a weeknight this past week!
Bmeck, I have been thinking a lot about you the last few weeks.. My sister has been trying for another baby for about 5 years after having her first child (my nephew is 7 now). She went to the ER with severe abdominal pain and found out that she was pregnant and it was ectopic. They were able to rush her in for emergency surgery and save her tube before it erupted.
She is doing really well. She says it is easier that she didn't know she was pregnant ahead of time, or else the loss would have hit her very hard, especially since she has been trying so long. They are taking some time off to heal, but she and her husband are seeing this as a blessing that they know they are able to try again and hopefully be successful.
I'm just feeling a lot of emotions right now.. it would have been fantastic to be pregnant at the same time as my sister, and be able to have babies together. I suppose there is still many months time for that to happen. I am just so thankful she is safe and healthy. I'm also feeling a little guilty that I am having a healthy pregnancy when my sister has faced such adversity. I am glad she doesn't seem to feel anything towards me about it. I'm sure it's just a silly emotion that has no grounds in reality, but I can't help but feel it sometimes.![Wacko :wacko: :wacko:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wacko.gif)
