Hi Kath, I'm Lisa and I am from the Stand Up Girl website.
Can I share something with you? I'm so glad that your life is going so well! Please know that just because you are pregnant does NOT mean that your life will not continue to go well! Pregnancy can actually be a joy. Imagine that there is a little life growing inside of you. At 6 weeks, your baby already is sucking his/her thumb and there is already a measureable heartbeat. Isn't taht so amazing?
Kath - I know that the initial news is a SHOCK! I imagine that for your partner it will be also. But remember that this little life inside of you is YOUR baby. You know? This can be the blessing in your life that you can never imagine having.
See - a few years ago, I chose differently. I live with that painful memory every day of my life. My heart aches for my lost children and if I could do anything to change what I have done, I would.
But you have so much ahead of you right now. So much joy, love and hope. Please Kath - put your hands onto your tummy right now and realize that the only thing that is separating your hand from your baby is your belly-button (and a little tummy too - hehe).
Can I also share one of my most favorite photos? It's an amazing photo. Here, check it out and read what it says down the right side of the photo:

Let me know your thoughts. OK?
Luv Lisa
