I just realized that you sent this email out a while ago and no one
has responded. So, I will share my progress.
I am currently 16 weeks 2 days pregnant with our 4th child. This is
my 3rd pregnancy. My first was 5 years ago with fraternal twin boys.
Then March 2007, I found out the I was pregnant with our 3rd, a boy,
Boden Truett. Boden became our angel on November 2, 2007, just 2 days
before my scheduled c-section, November 5, 2007. He grew his angel
wings as a result of cord compression.
I found out about my current pregnancy 2 weeks before Boden's 1st
heavenly birthday...truly a gift from our cherished angel. I have
debated over whether or not to find out the sex, because after all,
what if I don't bring this baby home? The thoughts have crossed my
mind. However, at my 12 week Nuchal Translucency scan, the baby was
hiding the parts. Most of my friends have been told what they are
having at this test...so we were a little excited about the thought.
The following week, the legs were crossed just at the right spot. So,
now I am very curious...is it a 4th boy? or is it the little princess
my husband has secretly wanted? By the way, Boden was to be our last.
We will find out on Jan. 19, 2009...I will be 17 weeks and cannot
wait to see the little person inside. Another by the way, my doctors
have been very understanding since my loss was the first full term
loss the practice has had since 1993. Whatever I have wanted, they
have allowed, so many ultrasounds:) I also am welcomed to have
heartbeat checks...had the 2nd one last Friday. My nerves have been
on the edge...because I know the worst that can happen.
My goal for this pregnancy is to enjoy every minute of it, relax, let
my boys get to know the baby inside(regardless), TRY to not the last
brush with death get to me...I know Boden had something to do with
this...when we first first held our angel, we knew more were to come
our way, BUT, only when Boden was ready to be a big brother...I take
it that he is...
Thanks for letting me share my novel...
Much love to all,
Patty Adair
