Happy 37 weeks Kelly!
So I'm team pink! Wrote an update in my journal (which I'll stick in here too)
She's a little over a pound, and she's perfectly healthy. Heartbeat is 152 bpm, and size and shape of heart and other organs seem to be fine. Limbs are all looking good and are a good length. The sonographer had me lie on my side so that she could see the gender. She asked "are you sure you want to know?" and I said "yes!!!" and she said "it's a girl!!" She couldn't get all the pictures she needed because the baby wouldn't really budge from her position (she had me stand up and jump around and wiggle, and she poked me a bunch, but it didn't really help!), so I'm going back for another u/s in 3 weeks! Yay more pictures! Good thing is that everything that she could see looked perfectly fine, so I'm not really worried.
DH is super excited, too. He got to hear the heartbeat for the first time today. I'm really glad that he was with me for the exciting news.

Thanks everyone. It was just so sudden. He was fine until Christmas day and since then its got worse. They thought it was several different things, infected gall bladder etc. They then discovered there was cancer in his gullet and it may have spread to his liver. We were expecting him to be able to go for chemo, but the cancer has spread all over his liver, in his stomach and its breaking off into his lungs. No chemo in the world can help himIt's just nice he still gets to spend some time with Amara before he goes, she is just too young and he will miss out on her life. This is my second dad I will have lost.
Kelly, I remember you saying about your dad, life jsut isnt fair at times!Sorry for upsetting you.
Kara's 1st birthday today! I am so overwhelmingly grateful to be her mommy. Her party's tommorrow, so that'll be fun.
We're still NOT PG. Such a bummer. At this point I'm convinced something is wrong with me. I'm very nervous to start fertility testing, because of what might or might not be discovered. I'm so happy for all of you ladies, but it's getting more and more painful to read about all the happiness that you're all experiencing with your LO's and soon to be LO's. As sad as I am in the baby department, life is going pretty well and I'm happy most of the time.
All I have ever wanted is to be happily married and be a SAHM. My marriage is great but I'm getting scared that my dreams of being a mom are getting further from reach. Please keep us in your prayers as we near ltttc.
