Reason for my absence

Yes, I have been gone from blogger for a while now.  I didn't want to rain my depression on anyone who decides to read.  Endrit and I had a pretty hard time STAYING pregnant again.  Since I found out I was pregnant when we moved, I found a wonderful midwife in an OB practice that I am going to.  She did bloodwork and determined that I was in fact loosing that baby.  I had my suspicions, but having it confirmed was a killer.  She was wonderful.  We did an array of blood work and tried to figure out what could have caused that baby to be lost as well as try to keep me pregnant in the future.  This started the 8 month long journey mixed with another 2 early losses before me getting to where I am now.

We are lucky because it is a progesterone problem with me that makes me loose the baby.  So, taking progesterone starting at 3 days after confirmed ovulation  fixed my problem again.  At least I didn't have to do the baby aspirin as well that we had to do to get Marsi.  She fixed that problem.  So, now here I am at almost 10 weeks pregnant. (10 weeks on Wednesday) I am happily taking my progesterone every day to keep this little one with us.  I have only had 1 appointment with the midwife for this pregnancy at 6 weeks 4 days.  It isn't the best picture, but it is the only picture I have of our baby.  Strong heartbeat and all :)

And, here is the bonus of Marsi wearing her big sister shirt :)
