It's been a turbulent back half of '21 I tell you what. At the end of July/start of August I had a long time friend slip into a coma and not even three weeks later he passed away. August 16 to be exact .... And that was the day things began to happen. I had spotting but no period, it happened again 10 days later, still no period. A couple weeks later I began spotting again. It's now been over a month of spotting but no period... Not to mention I was officially 3 months late. The lateness isn't uncommon as I'm very irregular. I looked up my symptoms (not even thinking I could be pregnant given my age -39) and figured I may be in the perimenopause stage of life. At the request of my aunt I took a pregnancy test, it was positive. In shock, my husband and I went and bought three more tests - positive. That was Saturday. Monday I was able to get in to see a doctor and it was confirmed. Pregnant, 10 weeks! I nearly broke down in tears! I always wanted another baby. My prayers were answered.

Here's where prayers are needed... Remember the spotting? I have a sub-corriatic (I'm sure it's spelled wrong) hemorrhage that could cause a miscarriage. My age doesn't help. So, please pray for the Lil' Bean
