Stalked by the Stork...a diary of raising twelve kids
Having twelve children is an amazing blessing and one heck of a crazy ride. Join us through all the joys, smiles, tribulations and trials as we navigate this fabulous journey!
Yesterday, I went in to see Dr. Gingrich. We checked my levels again and they have started to decline. Yesterday's HCG was 186. The bad news of course, is that we are loosing the pregnancy. The silver lining is, this means that we can continue to watch and wait. As long as the numbers continue to drop we can just check them regularly to ensure they are declining. If they rise again or bob around then we may have to take action at that time.
I am happy and releived to be able to let nature take its course. I'm glad to not have to do anything right now.
After my appointment I went out to lunch with Tammy and Ashley. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Edwardsville. It was yummy and the conversation was wonderful and just what I needed to feel better.
I am feeling okay about things and happy that at least for now, we can wait on God to be the giver and taker of life. I will update as we get new numbers and/or things happen.

Sorry honey. I wish I could come and give you a hug for real, but know I'm here for you!
So glad that you are waiting and letting God work through you. Your sweet baby penguin is being welcomed into the arms of Jesus and has Jillian and my other angel babies to be with. I think there must be a special place in heaven for all those sweet babies. I will be praying for you as you mourn the loss of what was to be. Love you!
I read your blog often but don't always comment. My heart breaks for you but what a joy to know that you will meet your little one in eternity one day.
Thanks for updating, we'll be praying for you too :)
