Just a little update

Sorry I haven't been on much. I have been
having some interesting things happening.
Luke has been hospitalized a few more
times and I have gotten to do his iv's at
home. Very nice but a lot of work.
Luke now weighs 19 lbs and is working on
his second tooth. He is such a happy baby
and crawls all over the place. We are
walking in the CFF fundraiser next
Saturday and it looks to be a good turn
out.
Here's my shocking news. I just had a
miscarriage. Totally came as a surprise. I
was only a few weeks along. Only knew I
was pregnant for a few days. I was a
little shocked the first day but then when
I kept testing I got excited and now I am
recovering from knowing I lost a baby. I
saw the dr today and she said everything
looks fine and that I can go on trying
this month. She thinks that I was 5-6
weeks along so it was what is called a
chemical pregnancy. I don't really like
calling it that. The hardest part was
telling my sisters. I wish I hadn't told
them the day I found out.
The worst part was when I started
miscarrying. It happened in the middle of
the night and I didn't realize what was
going on and when I woke up and turned on
the light there was blood everywhere. I
knew that I was miscarrying though because
my HCG levels had been dropping and the
HPT had stopped giving me positives. I am
trying to keep a good attitude and am
being glad that I know that my ovaries are
functioning okay. I would have loved to
give Luke a little brother/sister. He
loves other kids and I want the 2 to be
close in age. So after all this we are
trying for another one. I guess I have the
baby bug.
We have been thinking about it anyways and
talking to Luke's CF doctors and other
families with multiple cfers. It seems
totally doable and it seems that 2 are
fine to handle. We want to have one more
and then Dan is going to get snipped. I
don't even care if the next has no CF, I
don't want to play Russian Roulette too
many times.
Well, It's late and my eyes are going
crosseyed. Just think about me because I
haven't stopped bleeding yet and my BB's
are really sore and hard (dr thinks that
maybe i had started producing milk already
and so i have to dri up just that little
bit, today I was actually getting milk on
my bra,tmi, i know).
Have a good day!
~Courtnie

Good luck with the CF walk! I hope a lot
of people turn out.
I'm so sorry about your MC. I can't even
imagine what that must be like. It's hard
when you're TTC and for one reason or
another it doesn't happen. Try to keep
positive and know that when it's meant to
happen, it'll happen.
Please keep us updated about Luke!

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry about
your loss but it *will* happen for you.
I'm sorry Luke had to be hospitalized
again but at least you can do his IV at
home now.
Luke is 19lbs? Great!

Sounds like Luke is doing well. Glad to
hear things are going fairly well for him.
I'm sorry about your MC. I couldn't even
imagine the heartache of losing a baby.
But, when the time is right it will happen
for you guys.
Take care and keep in touch!!

Luke sounds like he's doing well!
Crawling and a tooth? You go look!
I'm so sorry about your loss. You guys
are in my thoughts.
Do you know that chance of the next baby
having CF?

I'm glad to hear Luke is at home and doing
well.
And I'm sorry about your loss. I
personally don't know how you must be
feeling but my mom had a miscarriage when
I was 12 so I know how hard it can be. You
are in my thoughts... have fun ttc!

thanks guys! I appreciate it a lot.
Tanya- the chances that another baby will
have CF is 25%. It took us awhile to
decide we wanted to conceive another baby
naturally.

Hey Courtnie! I'm so sorry about your
loss. I've been through a chemical
pregnancy as well so I completely
understand that it still hurts. I'm glad
Luke's doing well. He's getting to be a
big boy!

thanks. he has been cough free for 3 weeks
now! However, he goes off his oral
antibiotics next week and it seems like he
gets sick 1-2 weeks after he gets taken
off those.

So you said you want to conceive one more
baby, but are you thinking you want to
expand your family through adoption after
that?
