Hi All- Some of you I already know from SHARE but most don't know that I am in
my 2nd
Subsequent pregnancy since Ryan died in Nov. 2003. It seems like this pregnancy
is a lot
more difficult mentally and emotionally than when I was pregnant with Luke.
After losing
Ryan and then having all the problems I had with Luke, I figured that we were
done having
children - I was wrong. I am due in Late Oct. but my Dr. is now just concerned
about getting
me to 35 weeks which will be Mid-Sept.

We found out that we are having a girl this time and of course the doctors are
being ultra
careful with me and are making noises that I may be on full bedrest as early as
next week
and may be in the hospital as early as the beginning of August where I would
remain until I
deliver. That thought is very unsettling - I am very attached to Luke (who is
2) and am
concerned that the separation could cause stress with him that would make a
medical
condition he has much worse. How do you make decisions for the well being of
one child
that could affect the well being of another? Tammy
