Well, I'm getting used to my emotions careering in all different directions. After crashing and burning yesterday, today is a whole different mood swing.
I'd like to introduce you to the person who is somewhat responsible for playing with my hormones - but who is also a precious source of hope for us. At 9 weeks and 2 days gestation, this tiny whisper is going by the somewhat odd bump name of "Jurgen" (D.s idea!!).
The scan was an emotional moment. Our sonographer found the heartbeat immediately and then lost it again because I was crying and making my belly wobble! I was completely expecting to be knocked down all over again (which might account for my huge grief dip yesterday) and the relief is immense (albeit temporary, I'm sure).
I know this will be hard news for some of you and for that I am truly sorry, but for those of you who are able to stay with me for this journey - whether it lasts seven more days or (please, please, please) seven more months and then beyond - please know how much I value the support and love I receive through the comments I get.

Oh, oh wow! Hello there littlest whisper. How very nice to meet you!
What amazing news. I'm sure it must be so difficult especially with the addition of all those pregnancy hormones zinging around.
Jurgen? I won't ask!
Hang on in there little one. And mama! xx
Hey Jill

Congratulations on your healthy 9 week scan, Jurgen looks cute already! Wishing you all the best for an uneventful 7 more months and then a big happy baby that you can bring home.
Wow, look at Jurgen! How exciting. I am so incredibly happy for your news. And like Lachlan's Mum said, wishing you an uneventful, gentle seven more months. Looking forward to abiding with you on this journey with love.
What wonderful news! I will be here with you for the whole journey, and beyond.

I cried just looking at the picture of your little Jurgen... :)) Crossing my fingers (and everything else) for a seven month journey to a healthy lil one!
Congratulations ... hope the next 30-odd weeks are smooth for you!
Oh Jill! I'm so thrilled to hear your news. Can't wait to read about your journey over the next months. Hang in there xxxxxx
Why in the world would this be hard news Jill? Even for someone with a loss, the amount of pure joy when one of our own grows a baby is just not capable of being meausured! :) I'm so happy for little Jurgen growing away. I know when I had my first ultrasound that I started sobbing, almost to the point of being embarrassed! haha I couldn't help it.. at first I thought no one was really in there, then I saw her and wow - I felt so happy! I'm sure we were both annoying patients, with wobbly bellies making it hard to see.. but after what we've been through, how could we keep full composure?
Congrats again!!! I can't wait to see more and more pictues.. and esp. the ones after he/she is born kicking and screaming!!! :)
Excellent news!!!! Here's to 7 months of nothing exciting and a healthy baby delivered into your arms and hearts:)
Oh Kill. :) *hugs* I love that little picture. :)
What special, sweet news. I'm here with you through your journey as I only hope others will stay with me when my time comes. I'm truly happy for you and praying for a healthy little one for your arms to hold.
What a beautiful little baby!!! My most heartfelt congratulations and hopes for the most healthy pregnancy and baby.
I lost my baby Matthew just 6 weeks ago tomorrow and I'm already planning my next baby. I feel full of hope reading blogs like yours. (((hugs)))
hugs,
christie
wishing you all the best on this journey!
