August of 2006 - We were waiting, and waiting, and waiting on Ava to come home. During this wait I found out I was pregnant - just like all the others, I had the same feelings, I knew right away I was pregnant. I made an appointment to go see the doctors at Georgetown Hospital at 6 weeks pregnancy age - and once again - no heartbeat - another blyted ovum. I remember thinking before the appointment that maybe this time things would be different. I've heard so many stories of couples waiting on an adoption and then they find out they are expecting on their own. I was quick to find out that this wasn't the case with us.
This time around, I did ask my doctor if I could just let the miscarriage happen naturally without any surgery or drugs. Within a few weeks my body did it's job. Before we knew of any of this, Dave and I had planned a trip to Colorado in early September 2006. I miscarried right before this trip and was still miscarrying as we were on the trip. Happy news was coming very soon though- our Ava would be home with us in a matter of weeks.
