So there’s some good news and some bad news…
The good news is I got to see my baby’s heartbeat today. The bad news is there is a small tear in the baby’s sac.
At about 4am this morning, I woke up with cramping. I was up most of the night with the pain and finally at 8am, I decided to go up to the hospital. An ultrasound found a baby in the uterus – with a heartbeat! That is good! I thought we were in the clear.
But then we had to wait (for hours) for the doctor’s interpretation of the results, which brought the bad news. The doctor assured me that she has seen many of these tears and most of the women go on to have healthy babies.
I am trying to cling to that hope – but as you can imagine – I am worried.
So – if you have some spare prayers laying around – I sure wouldn’t mind if you sent some of them up for this little baby.
Honestly girls, I don’t know how I am going to deal with another miscarriage. And if this one does end up in a miscarriage, I don’t know if I can keep trying. It is so hard.
I am heading to go get some rest now…
Hope you are all doing well. And I am sorry I have been so sick and out of it that I failed to mention the Hidden Treasure Blog Awards have been going on. The winners are announced now, including our dear friend Barb, so head on over and take a look!

You are in my thoughts and prayers! (((HUGS)))
Praying for God’s healing power over your baby and your heart. Your particular pain is not one I have yet faced. Yet I try to always be prepared in case this is the one. I remind myself that I am not “having” a baby. I HAVE a baby. Right now and from the moment God formed my little on in secret we have been blessed with this child. If I never see his or her face on this earth, I know that I will see it in Heaven. Because this child exists and will ascend. Your baby is with you right now. Your other baby is in the most glorious of homes, and you had the honor of having a part in that. Each of us prays that our children’s souls will one day reside in Heaven. So I try to take comfort in knowing that even if God’s timing is not my timing, the goal is the same.
Praying for your strength and comfort dear sister.
I just happen to see your blog, and I just wanted to say that your family is in my prayers. I just had my 2nd m/c and I know how hard everything can be. Please hold on to that faith that your little bean is holding on, and is just starting early giving Mom a hard time!! LOL GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!!
Janice, hang on to hope, there is hope. I’ll be praying with all my might for you.
Oh no. Praying right now.
Father in Heaven, you alone know the inner workings of that new life. You are the author of life. You alone have the power and ability to turn this around. We pray that you would make yourself known by a miraculous healing that only you can do. Father you know your daughter Janice’s heart and you know that she loves this baby even before she has seen or held him/her. We ask Father that you mend the tear and that you would comfort and calm Janice’s heart right now. Please let carry to term that she may praise your mighty name. Let this life honor and glorify you alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayers your way and covering the baby.
My stomach just dropped when I read your first two sentences.
Prayers that all goes well.
Adding my prayers to the list. Rest and take care of yourself…. easier said than done, I know.
Love and prayer.
All my prayers are with you right now…
Praying for you and that little babe!
Praying for you both.
Also, go to http://www.westonaprice.org and read the articles on the section on Women’s Health and Healthy Babies. There are some nutritional suggestions on there that might help. I had a good friend whose water broke at 18 weeks that was able to keep the baby in until about 26 weeks. He’s now 18 months old and doing well!
Sending tons of prayers and good thoughts your way!
