For nearly two weeks now we've been pregnant. We went in for the first ultrasound this morning; but we already knew the news would be bad. Melissa began bleeding last night around midnight, while I slept ... unknowing ...

... and like that... our little angel is gone. May the light shine on you, and the last embrace of the mother welcome you home.

One week down and one to go before our first u/s appt. Apparently living life in two week increments is just the way it's gonna be!

I am so glad I have friends both in real-life and in online communities to share this exciting time with.

I have gotten such nice emails and comments from so many people. It really amazes me the love and support you get even from complete strangers when you really need it the most.

Thank you.

I just got the call back on beta #2. My numbers more than doubled in less than 48 hours. That is such a relief considering they thought my number was a little low on Monday.

From 73 to 185 = 153% increase. Yeah!!!

OMG - it's still sinking in. I can't believe it. What a Christmas miracle indeed.

and for the first time in nearly a year, I saw a 2nd line! YEAH!!! I'm so excited and cautiously nervous at the same time.

In fact, I was so nervous yesterday, I couldn't even create a post about it. It was 14dpIUI and the line was still pretty faint. I went in for a blood test, but it was too late in the day to get the results back the same day.

This morning I got up and tested again and the line is definitely darker. I feel a little better, but I can't wait to hear the results of the beta #1 and then of course beta #2.

Results for beta #1 = 73
