I got two calls from friends yesterday telling me about my friend who is pregnant with triplets. She delivered one of the babies, a boy, yesterday morning. It was too early for him to survive. He was only 1 lb., 2 oz. My friend is 23 weeks pregnant. She is in the hospital with a bad infection and they aren't sure what caused it. My friend who came to visit her said that she was on lots of medication and that the baby was in a tiny gown and in a basket in her room. She said that the baby looked perfect, but that he just wasn't developed enough. At 24 weeks the doctors can give the babies steroids to help them develop faster. Things are pretty serious right now, and there's not much I can do right now but pray.

I ordered a Christian infertility newsletter (called Stepping Stones) and it arrived by mail yesterday. Stepping Stones is an outreach of a Christian adoption agency - Bethany Christian Services. We know several couples who have adopted through them. I had a laugh when I opened the mail because they wrote my name as Amy instead of April. I told my husband that it was for his "other" wife.

I'm now on my 6th day of spotting (I hate when it's that long, it's like having two periods in a row.). My temperatures dropped below coverline today, so I'm pretty sure that my period will be starting tonight or early tomorrow. Unfortunately, this cycle is still looking a lot like cycle #7.

Only one month and two days until our RE appointment!!
