Dear Deanna,
I wanted to write to hopefully give you some encouragement. When I
got pregnant this time, I had a couple horrible nightmares about this baby.
I would wake up sweating terribly and crying. I finally prayed to God and
to my little Hope to send me some good dreams and to stop the bad because I
couldn't take it anymore. A few nights later I got my good dream. I
pretty sure it was a tink from Hope because I felt amazingly peaceful
afterwards (She was in the hospital room with me- the same one I delivered
her in- and she was telling me that everything was going to be okay, and I
was holding a sleeping baby.)
You will gain the strength and faith to believe everything is going
to be okay again. I had an early sono at 12 weeks (because that's how far
along I was when the sono detected problems with Hope) and the technician
said everything looked great. I still was weary until my 18 week sonogram
a few weeks ago. All the tests came back perfect. Now I'm starting to let
go and have some faith that everything is going to be fine. I pray that
everything goes well for you at your level 2 in May. I hope that you will
gain some peace from it, and that your nightmares will go away soon!
love,
Christine
