I went to the Doctor today in Savannah. He seemed very surprized to see another fertilized egg in there! Apparently now there are two babies instead of one!
I can't quite take it in yet. It's good news AND bad news. It's bad news because he said that my HcG levels were a bit low for one baby, but very low for two. So I am going back next Monday for another ultrasound. He hopes to see heartbeats, as there are none yet. If there aren't any by next week, then I will probably miscarry both of them again.
I'm feeling sort of numb right now to this. I'm very down, yet trying not to think about it and trying to trust God has a plan and to be at peace with whatever happens. I just wish, that if my body wasn't going to be able to keep the babies, that I just wouldn't get pregnant in the first place. It's a very hard emotional roller coaster.

6 weeks after my husband returned, we had the unexpected surprise of our daughter arriving almost 2.5 months early with a lot of post birth complications. Now we're getting used to our new "normal".
My husband just returned from what I now consider to be our 17 month deployment (if you count the months of special training in another city before hand) and we've unpacked and begun planning for our next move and... you guessed it... packing up again.
Ok, we WERE preparing for the deployment... now we're living it. And I'm more unpacked than I was!
We're preparing for a year long deployment, living in one city and traveling to another where my husband is in training for the next few months before he leaves. We've yet to fully unpack anywhere! This blog is for my husband, family and friends... and myself, so I can remember where I'm at! :)

About Us
It's three years later... we've been through another deployment, several TAD months of training and preparing for our 5th deployment (and the second YEAR long deployment). We've PCS'd to North Carolina where we met old friends from past duty stations and made new ones on our Marine Corps journey. And we're still unpacking, yet again!

PEACE
it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

"I believe it to be a great mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense in it....We
cannot blink at the fact that gentle Jesus meek and mild was so stiff in his opinions and so inflammatory in his language that he was thrown out of church, stoned, hunted from place to place, and finally gibbeted as a firebrand and a public danger. Whatever his peace was, it was not the peace of an amiable indifference."--Dorothy Sayers

Exciting and scary! We're praying for you and your babies! I know it's an emotional rollercoaster. Early pregnancy is scary - especially in your case. Hang in there!
You my sister are in my prayers, heart and thoughts.
Oh my wonderful LORD God. Please take this sister of mine in your heart and hands. Protect her womb, heart and children. Give her the faith and strength she needs from you in this wonderful, exciting and scary time. Bless her oh LORD. Thank you for the blessings you have poured over her. Continue to show her your love in her everyday life. Thank you for her.
Laurie-- I love you and I am excited to hear about the double blessings you have.
May God's precious peace be yours.
Laurie,
