Last night Scott told me that a ladybug landed on his leg while he was sitting on the couch. I'm taking this as a sign that it's time to finally announce that we are growing Cayden's little brother, affectionately known as Buggy.
We have kept this quiet as it's an overwhelmingly frightening experience, and we have desired to minimize the number of people forced to ride this rollercoaster with us. We are fortunate to be surrounded with an amazing amount of love and support, without which I don't want to fathom where we'd be.
I chose this picture because I think it perfectly portrays the delicacy of our current situation. As of today, everything seems okay. But we have been repeatedly told that we are not out of the woods (I used to love the woods, starting to kind of hate them now...), as Pena-Shokeir can appear well into the third trimester.
We are grateful to find ourselves here, incredibly scared, and hoping for a different kind of January.

Congratulations on Buggy! I know that pregnancy after a loss can be a very scary experience, so I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way and hoping that you have a very boring 9 months and a wonderful healthy little one.
I'm glad you've outed Buggy, Paige! We're all here for you, every step of the way.

Paige,
Congratulations! I know that this is a scary time but remember that you are not alone on this fragile journey. I remember a time that I thought I would never have a healthy baby, but as you know I have my two girls. I am thinking about you always and sending good thoughts your way. I am wishing you an uneventful and healthy pregnancy and the hope of finding the beauty and peace in the woods again.
Glad you felt ready to share. Know that we're with you every step of the fragile path!
Love,
Jackie

Exciting news. All good thoughts for you and this new little person growing inside you.
I am passing on an Honest Scrap Award to you because many of your blog entries have resonated with me and I admire your honesty. Check it out on my blog and pass it on....
I found this poem and I bet these ladybugs have come to watch over "buggy" and you guys as you continue along in your pregnancy. Look forward to seeing you soon. Aunt Joyce
The Ladybug
When strolling through the garden
You should chance to see
A ladybug out walking
Please say 'Hi!' for me.
For a ladybug is a good bug
And she helps the garden grow,
She's supposed to bring good luck
So be sure to say 'Hello!'
We are thinking of you lots as you continue down this difficult and scary path (and always inspired by your strength and love). I hope and pray that you have a healthy baby to hold in your arms in Jan. Please know that we are all with you, sending lots of love, and that Cayden is a guardian angel for you and his little bro.
Love
Lisa
