Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

[No Doubt]

Congrats Jett!

Kuawen, im sorry to hear about that. How are you feeling with the news? There are other ladies on here that have that and have conceived and carried to term. I'm sure you could search and find a group if you would like others to speak with about it. Hopefully the testing stage will be quick and you can be on your way to a h&h pregnancy soon. Lord please let this be a quick but efficient process.

Kuawen-I think its an easy fix.....Baby aspirin & extra supplements. Praying you continue to get answers & peace for this Journey!

 

[Godsjewel]

Woohoo!!! Congrats Jett! Isn't so nice finally being able to know what you are carrying??? I feel that much more closer to the babies, also because I can call them by name

 

[Jett55]

I'm def happy to not refer to him as the baby or an it anymore lol

 

[No Doubt]

GJ, do you have names? Are you sharing? Is that you in your avatar? I love it! Very carefree and preggo sexy! Relaxed in a very motherly intimate way! If it's not I still love the pic!

 

[ProfWife]

Sarah - LOVE the new picture! So, what are you carrying?

Jett - Congrats on baby boy cooperating to reveal a gender!

Kuawen - I've also heard of women carrying fully to term with that gene. Hopefully your RE will have great ideas of how to help you be fully healthy and bring a baby to term.

AFM - Was going to get a blood test today, but I started spotting. So, I'm not going to get it done. Just waiting for period to start.

Hubby says that the names are one thing we are keeping secret. If it were up to me, I would post the names everywhere

Yes, that's me! I just took that pic yesterday. I saw this pregnant lady on Pinterest take a similar pic and I loved it, so I tried to recreate it. I set my camera on a stool, set the timer and posed...lol!

I had a follow up appointment with the podiatrist today. According to my X-rays, there are no issues with any bones in my foot. It appears that it is all soft tissue related. The injection he gave me apparently has shrunk the area down. He gave me another injection in the bottom of my foot this time. It was very painful...I have a high tolerance for pain. I was nearly in tears while my husband was sitting behind me rubbing my back to comfort me.

I go back in two weeks to check on everything. If there is very little to no change, an MRI will be ordered to determine how he will need to operate to remove it. I am so glad that the first injection helped things out. It has felt better over the last couple of days. He attributed that to the injection so that was his reason for a second one. Hopefully, I won't have to go through an operation! Keeping the faith!

Thanks everyone for your prayers!!!!!

Praise God!!!

I'm so happy to hear that Amanda Still praying and looking forward to more praise reports.

Everyone - What is everyone reading? I am reading Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer and it has really been a blessing to me. I would recommend it for all of us in the thread. Whether we are dealing with miscarriage, infertility, unexpected pregnancy this book is really good. So what are you all reading now?

Amanda - Praise God!!! Awesome praise report.

Sarah - We didn't tell anyone Ethan's name because we couldn't agree. Well, really my husband couldn't decide. I had a few favorites, but he couldn't make up his mind. We didn't agree on a name until after Ethan was born. We are team yellow this go around. I have to get frequent ultrasounds and the high risk doctor almost spilled the beans last week, but now he knows not to say anything. I'm thinking this time we won't have a name until the baby 3 days old.

 

[No Doubt]

So glad to hear that Amanda! Praying when you go back everything will check out!

GJ, we didn't share Virtue's name either, and considering we're staying yellow with this one, we won't be telling the names either...we don't know which to go with.

Oh Sarah, I LOVE your new avatar! How are you feeling?

 

[Godsjewel]

Oh Sarah, I LOVE your new avatar! How are you feeling?

Thanks my dear

I'm feeling really good! I just get extremely tired mid-day, but that beats being nauseous any day

It is still a surreal experience for me. Even at this very moment I look down at my belly and can't believe it's real, that after so many years, it's finally my turn! I'm so blessed!

Fridays Food for Thought:

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14
What does it mean to be still? When God asks that we remain still, what do you think He means?

To understand Him, we must understand His word, and what He is trying to say. Let us share with each other our thoughts on this scripture. Let us dig deeper and see if God speaks to you in any way throughout your day.

"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

Sometimes it is hard to be still when we don't know God, and sometimes it is hard to know God, when we are not being still.

GJ, it's always going to feel surreal. I keep saying to my mom it's surreal to be a mother...I can't believe my son is here and he's all mine, well mine and hubbs, lol. But that still doesn't feel real to me.

Hi Everyone;
I'm still struggling with the mysteriousness of my infertility. It's been a year and a half since my miscarriage, and 2 and a half years since I started trying to have a baby. I have gained a lot of strength and spiritual insight through all this hardship, and although I still sometimes feel frightened or angry, I have managed to step back and remember who is in control. There isn't some tiny wrong-move I can make that will hold back my God from his purpose. I need to have faith and trust the process.

I do want to share that we have had some amazing news in Canada. Our public health-care is pretty amazing as it is, and I know I am blessed that all these tests and specialists have been free for me, but I've been worried about what happens if clomid doesn't work, because that's been the end of the health care line as far as infertility is concerned... The government didn't fund IVF.... Until now! Now the provice that I live in has pledged to cover one round of IVF for women with fertility issues!!! I don't know if I will ever need to go that route, but it does feel amazing to have one more step that is available to us!

I am so thankful, and a bit relieved, and I hope this new decision will mean that many women in Canada will be able to have their miracle baby!
