I’m happy to announce I’m pregnant again! My husband James and I went to West Coast OBGyn today and got the good report. At 9 weeks along, baby Pellicane has a strong heartbeat, arm and leg buds. Hurray – we are thrilled and grateful!
Since I miscarried around 9 weeks last fall, I was apprehensive about what the ultrasound would show. But when I was putting my glamour gown on (the white sheet), I thought of the Bible verse that says “Do not fear, I (God) am with you!”
When Dr. French said she could see the heart and body forming correctly, I breathed a sigh of relief. Good! All this nausea, fatigue, sleepiness, moodiness and hunger is for a worthy cause! Not to mention I’ve been gaining weight (remember when I blogged about losing 5 pounds by March 15? That’s off…)
So, of course I’ll be keeping you posted on baby’s progress. Due date: October 23. “Losing weight after baby” will come in handy for me during the pregnancy and afterwards for sure! Thanks for all of your love and support!

HI, Arlene!
What a trooper! Persistence is such a positive character trait, and it is working well for you. I’m not in your crowd (condition), so I won’t be losing weight (!); but I do want to congratulate you and James. Will take the trip with you as a prayer partner.
Blessings always!
