Welcome to Peanuts!!!
Jett, I hope you start feeling better soon when your hormones start to level out.
I had an ultrasound today to confirm that baby #2 is on the way for us. Hubby is excited, and I'm nervous but I know God has us covered. Please keep us in your prayers.

She said to them, Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara
Ruth 1:20
Now Naomi
Ruth 2:1
For many people, infertility changes their image of themselves. How do you view yourself? Forgotten? Abandoned? A little less blessed than your fertile friends and family? Do you feel you are less than a woman because you havent carried a child? How would you describe how you see your infertile self?
What do you think God thinks when He looks at you? What does He feel? How do you think God views you when you weep as you start your period again, or you snap at your husband for the 17th time today?
The good news is, God doesnt always see us like we see us.
The Bible is full of hurting, broken people. It is also full of true accounts of God restoring and bringing beauty from brokenness. Over the next few days, lets take a look at a few snapshots of people who didnt see themselves as God saw them.
In Biblical days, a persons name said much more about them than in todays world. A persons name described their character, the events surrounding their conception or birth, or even a life-changing event in their lives. Naomi was a woman who suffered great personal tragedy in the deaths of her husband and two sons. The name she had carried throughout her life meant pleasant. Perhaps she had been joyful, easy-going and well liked. Following the death of her husband and sons, we see a change in Naomi. In Ruth 1:20, Naomi says Do not call me Naomi (meaning pleasant); call me Mara (meaning bitter), for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
You can hear the hurt of this womans heart jumping off the pages of Scripture! Call me bitter! My life is not pleasant anymore! God has emptied my life of joy! God has afflicted me! I am Naomi no longer. My life is now bitter.
Can you relate? You probably began marriage excited about your future, and no doubt that future included children. Children with your husbands dimples and your moms eye color. You had such hopeful, pleasant dreams about your future.
But then the pages of the calendar continued to turn. The first diagnosis came. Or didnt come. Pleasant? Not anymore. Call me Bitter, for God has dealt harshly with me.
Heres the good part. God doesnt just see the here-and-now like we do. God saw more than a grieving widow and childless mother when He looked at Naomi. He saw a woman restored. Need proof? Its found in the first two words of Ruth 2:1:
Now Naomi
God still called Naomi pleasant. There is never any account of God referring to this woman as Mara or bitter. What does this tell you? This tells you that God saw more than what Naomi was able to see. He could see that He would restore her. He could see that the devastating season of her life would eventually end, and bitterness would leave her. God looked at Naomi and in His eyes, He saw her as pleasant.
So what do you think God calls you? Remember that God can see more than just infertility in your life. He sees more than a struggle to conceive. He sees the future He has planned for you, and its a good one (Jeremiah 29:11). He sees that your constant struggle with infertility will eventually end, and He sees how He can help you usher bitterness out of your heart.
So dream big. What does God call you?

It went well. The baby was measuring right on and she said the heartbeat was normal. I will have to see a high risk doctor this time to avoid any complications like I had with my son, but I know God has it all under control. Last pregnancy I vowed that I wouldn't worry about another pregnancy so I'm trying not to worry about this one. How are you doing, Fides?

God is so awesome we heard our peanuts heartbeat at the doc today it was perfect in the 160s.
Praise God!!! I bought a fetal doppler almost a year ago and started using it to hear my little ones heartbeats since 10 weeks. We listen every couple of days from the comfort of our own home. It's amazing!
It's nice to get some reassurance that they are still there in between ultrasounds

Yaah I've noticed a lot of women on here have their own dopplers. I think it gives me something to look forward to for doc appointments that aren't ultrasounds. But I def understand having that reassurance in the comfort of your own home must be very nice

I know that this is an old thread but I LOVE seeing Christian women going through the ttc ups and downs, supporting one another!
I am on my 7th cycle ttc baby#3. I had a chemical pregnancy in November and have been using opk's, preseed and temping to help ensure that we are timing everything right.
May God bless you all!

Hi Sweetie
I'm doing pretty well. I still have to take 2 anti nausea medications to calm the morning sickness, it has helped tremendously. I still have some bad days, but not as much as before.
I meet with a nutritionist today to go over what vitamins and stuff I need since I will require more because there are 3.
It's still a chore to eat and I still don't have a desire for any kind of food. Praying that ends soon.

The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior."
Judges 6:12
Gideon was given quite a job to do. Israel had disobeyed God and had gotten into a lot of hot water. They were given over to the hands of Midian for seven years and it was less than enjoyable. Israel would sow a crop, and the Midianites would take it away. Everything they had was subject to the whim of the Midianites. It was not a happy time in Israels history.
So begins the story of Gideon. He really was a nobody. In the days when only the oldest son of the family held any importance of all, Gideon was the baby of the family. And to make matters worse, his family was the least of the house of ManassehJosephs son whose birthright was given to his younger brother. His was not an enviable position in the family tree. The youngest son of the weakest of families. What could God possibly see in him?
The answer lies in Judges 6. Gideon was busy going about his day, when an angel sent from God appears and tells him that he has been chosen to be the deliverer of Israel. As if that was not absurd enough, youll never believe what the angel called him. The angel looked at Gideon, the weakest of the least and with a straight face, actually said to him The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior!
Can you imagine Gideons response? What? Valiant warrior? Im no valiant warrior. My family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my fathers house! He must have turned around to see who else had joined this unlikely company. How could God see him as a valiant warrior?
Gideon was a valiant warrior for one reason: the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with you
As you face the yearly, monthly, daily, and hourly battle of infertility, perhaps you feel like you are facing an enemy much greater than yourself. You must battle with discouragement, you fight off frustration, and stare despair eye to eye. Sometimes you feel weak in your struggle for a family, and just dont know if you can fight this battle for another month. Take heart, valiant warrior. God will be with you.
God has a plan for your life. He has a plan for your family. He promises to walk with the child of God, showing you what you need to do to fight the battle of your faith. At just the right time, Hell show you what steps to take, what weapons to lay down. He knows what you need to do to complete the family He has lovingly designed for you. Whether that family consists of three people, six people, or even just two, He walks with you, O valiant warrior!

How did it go?
I'm sure it's not easy eating for four. The first doc I saw told me eat between 1500-2000 calories when I was preggo. I told them there was no way that was happening. Most days I didn't even eat 1000 calories before being preggo. I wasn't starving myself, just eating super healthy and only as needed, not over eating. He said it was fine as long as I wasn't starving myself or baby obviously. But I will say as time goes on and your babies grow, eating more will become more natural for you, but right now you don't have the urge due to morning sickness and the fact that you probably really haven't started having cravings or really feeling hungrier yet. You know when you're full or hungry. I say don't force it, there's not much room in there anyway and there certainly won't be when your babies are bigger. I think you'll have to eat more often if anything.

well, ladies, I apologize for the super short stay, but the Lord certainly answered our openness... :BFP: yesterday on the first cycle of NTNP. I can't believe it.
The Lord certainly speaks to us, sometimes loud and clear!!!
