Will I live thru this?


When I was really young I was raped, the out come was a beautiful litttle girl. She was so perfect. I planned on keeping her and raising her my self, but labor and a few choice words with the lord upstairs we decieded that the little girl, that I was carring, was not mine to keep. The arrangements were made and I never looked back.
Now that I am married, college student, and ten years later the lord has given me another little gift, but this time he is mine to keep. Now that I have given you the nice fluffy story. I would like to share with you the truth about this pregnancy. My little girl was a blessing to carry everything was smooth sailing I didn't even get stretch marks. BUT MY BOY....that I love and will love for him to come out as soon as possible. He has made me sick from day one. I have been sick the enter pregnancy (Vomiting, dizzy, bowls, smells, crying, ect) life has been hell. My poor husband is conviced that he only wants to have one more baby if that, I think that I am done. If I am to have another pregnancy like this I think that I am going to check my self in to a loony bin. All my husband will say now that we are in the last stages of the pregnancy is "I just want my wife back." I look at him and think the same "all I want is my body and mind back."
All I have is 3 more weeks if that...I should be counting my blessings. life could be worste. My baby could be sick or abnormal or I could be sick. But we are both strong and no problems to speak of.
I can tell that we are both very stubborn and like to speak our minds, which is going to be such an adventure. What I mean is I am thirty-seven weeks he is still moving around like he was a few months ago. When I try to move him he will kick and punch for a good five to six minutes. He loves the drums and church music, he will kick to the beat. To tell you the truth he keeps a better beat then I do. He loves daddy, MIke will get close to my stomache and Lex will kick his face. It is so cute, I cry everytime.

My Miracle Baby

Two years ago I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. My husband & I were devestated. In October 2007, we were ready to try again. I had my menstrual cycle on October 3rd. By October 12th I was experiencing nausea & frequent urination -- I knew I was pregnant! 2 days before my next period was due, I took a pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE! I jumped for joy and ran to my husband with great excitment shoving the test in his face. He was excited too.

Because of the previous miscarriage, my age (over 35) & the fact that I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in the previous pregnancy, I was persistent in getting prenatal care immediately. No one wanted to see me before the 9th week, until I began spotting in the 5th week. I found a midwife to examine me and order tests. Everything checked out normal, but I continued to experience frequent spotting through the 16th week.

At 9 weeks, I finally got an ultrasound and saw my baby's heart beat! Whew... what a relief! I continued battling the spotting episodes and feared another miscarriage.

At 19 weeks, I had a second ultrasound. I didn't like the look on the technicians face, as it took me back to the day I had last miscarried. Ignoring her facial expressions, I thought positive thoughts. Then the technician said to me, "I discovered a problem, but I need to discuss it with the doctor before I can discuss it with you." She left the room to get the doctor and I began to bawl. I prayed that nothing was wrong with my baby; I couldn't handle another loss, especially this far into the pregnancy.

The technician and the doctor looked at the monitor. The technician pointed to the screen and said, "Here's A and here's B." I was like, "What?? Are there two babies???" The doctor still looked concerned and told me that they were trying to determine that.

After the docotr left the room, the technician then began to explain to me that in my 9 week ultrasound report, it stated that there was a possible twin demise, or that the mass could be a possible bleed.

[Because of my high risk factors, I transfered care to a doctor, who never received the report, therefor I was never informed and the midwife who had ordered the first ultrasound failed to inform me.]

Continuing on... the technician said she had read the previous report and expected to only see one fetus. Upon her examination, she was shocked to discover that baby B, who supposedly didn't have a heart beat at 9 weeks, had grown and was now measuring 13 weeks. Unfortunately, that is the biggest baby B would grow, as there was no detectable heart beat.

Needless to say, my husband and I were very disappointed, yet so grateful to be blessed with the one healthy, viable, baby GIRL!!

Because of the demise of twin B, I am being monitored very carefully by my awesome OB doctor. Today, I am 6.5 weeks from delivering via c-section on June 30, 2008, and I begin NST twice a week and weekly ultrasounds up until delivery.

PS. This is my 4th child. My other children are: Boy 16.5 years; Boy 14.5 years; Girl 11 years, and my husband has a Boy 6 years.

If I wait till week 40 will it grow? plus I have one more problem- my doc is going on vacation and he will only come back after three weeks, shall I wait for him or just plan the surgery in week 37?

4th baby, but a very special one!

My name is Jorjan and I am pregnant with my 4th child. My husband and I have both been married before, and have other children, but this is our 2nd together.

Only 8 months ago we had a son named Jared Lynn, he lived 2 days, he was born June 26, 2007 and died June 28, 2007. This would have been our first together and my husbands first son. All our dreams went down the drain when he passed away. He was a beautiful little boy, he was perfect!

He was born at 34 weeks and had respiratory problems after birth.My husband and I went through a lot after his death, it almost caused us to divorce. We fought and argued all the time, we were both mad at the world. Mean while God had something else in mind. Two months after our sons death, we found out that we were pregnant again! The Lord givith and the Lord taketh away.

Day by day our relationship started to come back together. At three months into the pregnancy we found out we are having a girl! Yes my husband was hoping for another boy, but it didnt really seem to matter anymore, just as long as it was healthy we were happy. So now we only have 12 weeks to go, and we are counting them down. We can't wait to see this little angel that God has given to us. We will never take one day with her for granted.

Each time I kiss her i will kiss her twice, one for her and one for her big brother Jared. I know in my heart he will be looking down on her the day she is born. He will be her guardian angel.What a lucky little girl she will be!
