Congratulations!!

FYI, subsequent babies aren't always bigger. My 1st son was 1 1/2 weeks early, and was 9 lb 2 oz. My 2nd son was 1 week early, and 8 lb 7 oz (and had a much smaller head, thankfully!!). Try not to worry!
 
Congrats Amanda.... I'm so happy for you...........................
 
My mom was in labor for 38 hours with me...

Which could be why my sister (her second DD) is her favorite! LOL
 
Congrats on the Baby!!! I found out really early that I was pregnant & was shocked!! This is #1 for me & hubby so we are excited! I hope that your pregnancy goes as well as mine has (no morning sickness, feeling really good ect).
Keep us updated!!

Everyday I wish for this, ds had a huge head. When we would take him to the dr. they would say he is in th 25% for height, 75% weight, & his head circum. is in the 75%. So I would joke w/ them saying I had a short fat kid w/ a big head. Then one day it hit me why I had to have an appesiatomy (SP) & still tore.I really want a girl, but have a gut feeling that I have another boy growing inside. So I might still have a big baby, only time will tell.

I just got back from the dr. I had been spotting since Thursday and each day the spotting has gotten worse. We did an ultrasound, there was no heartbeat and the baby had not grown since my visit a week ago. So now we are waiting for nature to do it's thing or I will have a D&C later to take care of it.Thank you so much for all of you being so supportive, if I am not around you know why. Lacy can you keep the booking thread going for me? I need time to process this. I have a lot of baby tickers to delete.

Prayers to you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
 
Oh Amanda - I'm so sorry for your loss! I know firsthand what you are going through and I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. May you find strength in the coming days.
 
So sorry to hear of your news Amanda! You and your family will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss.
 
Amanda I'm sorry to hear your news. I went through an emotional rollercoaster finding this thread for the first time. A neighbor of mine went through this 3 times and was so depressed and heartbroken each time especially since her sister in law was pregnant almost each time she was and had her babies. A couple of years ago she had her first precious baby girl and just had a gorgeous baby boy that's a few months old now. Find strengh in the support of your loved ones in this difficult time and remind yourself that you are blessed because you are loved. When the time is right it will happen and we will all rejoice with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
OMG, Amanda, I am soo sorry for this to happen. Prayers with you and your family. :(
 
Oh, no, Amanda - I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have been through miscarriage myself, and I would not wish it on anyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to you right now - please let me know if you need anything. (((HUGS)))
 
Praying for you!!!
 
Well that just sucks big time! Amanda, I'm so very sorry- I cannot even begin to imagine the pain, and sadness. I would just love to drive to your house and give you a big fat hug and a pan of lemon bars (yes, they have healing powers!)

You will be in my prayers- I wish I could offer more than my sympathy...know that I hurt for you- I really do... Love to you, and prayers for grace and strength as you go through this!
 
Amanda,
I'm so sorry to log on today and see this news. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself.
 
Oh no Amanda...

I am so sorry to hear this. I pray for you and your DH...that you will both be a comfort to each other, and that God will bring others into your life right now to lift you up and encourage you. Know that there are MANY of us on here who will be lifting you up to God each time He brings you to our minds.

With love and prayers,
Kelly
 
Oh Amanda - my prayers are with you and your dh right now! I am so sorry to hear about this.
 
Oh friend, I am so sorry! Don't really have any words of wisdom right now, but know I'll be thinking of you. A friend of mine had a miscarriage a couple months ago, & I just keep telling her that when the time is right it'll work out. Maybe now wasn't the right time, for reasons you don't know or may never know. Just try to think positive thoughts (I'm a big believer in that!) that when the time is right, it'll happen for you. {{{BIG HUGS}}} to you & your family.
 
I'm so sorry, Amanda. You are in my prayers!
 
Oh Amanda, I am so sorry. I will be praying for you.
 
Amanda, I'm sorry for your tremendous loss. You will be in my prayers.

{{{Hugs}}} I am so sorry this happened Amanda. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Prayers and hugs Amanda!
