being humbled…

Today i have been humbled… far beyond what i expected…

Here is the site and blog post that took me for a spin in re-appreciating my growing baby and the glory of God.

I didn’t have my dr. appointment as planned because they had to reschedule… again… My ultrasound technician who have done all of my pregnancies has moved to California. They have someone new and she only works select days right now… So, I am having to wait for her to be available to do my  genetic screening….

I wish I had more to write about…but, I cannot seem to find the words. I am sadly at a loss. I have not been put in a situation where i lose  a child.. There is however, one possibility where I may have been pregnant and miscarried… I was 17.  My boyfriend who is now my husband. Well, we both had noticed that my boobs were getting bigger… then I just had abnormally heavy bleeding that lasted a little longer than a week… So I believe that is when I lost my first baby….

I believe I am slowly starting to feel much better… I am tired a bunch, but I guess anyone would be if there were a stay at home mom of three with one on the way.

My family isn’t always the most supportive, though they say they are… I guess it has a lot to do with themselves. It has taken them quiet the time to get used to the fact that in February there will be a new baby around… They tend to take forever to adjust. My dear husband and I have been trying to plan on not finding out what the sex of this baby is… I am dying to know! But, on the other hand, I am anxious to be in the delivery room pushing out my baby and hear “IT’S A …..” I believe we have our names picked out and I find them to be fitting of our family and the child I am carrying…

Those names are Evelyn Jean (Evie for short) and Owen Thomas… The middle names are actually family names.

  1. Hi Jo!
    Wow, I just read it, and cried after the first paragraph and the rest of the way. My first pregnancy also ended in miscarriage a little less than a year ago. It was horrible and I was only in my first trimester. My mom, and massive comfort in the situation had gone through a miscarriage at 5 months before she had me and would let me cry and vent and ask why on the regular. Although it completely sucks to say, I was glad my mom knew just how to comfort me.
    My dear husband of 3 years at the time, I knew loved me but during those weeks, I found out just how much. I truly feel as though God had me, us go through that experience so that our marriage would be that much stronger in the end. So that I could understand that though I don’t feel as though he shows his love the way I want him too, that he loves me with his whole heart without question.

    I love the names you have picked out. Very sweet.

    I love my family dearly but my husbands family is also not always the most supportive. It drives me crazy. Sometimes I want to throw them out the window but they’re family. What are you supposed to do?

    Don’t let them get to you. As my mom likes to remind me “Sometimes families are like armpits…They stink!” (You have to love our southern full of charm sayings!)

  2. It was such a tough article to read…I felt bummed for the rest of the day… I am ever so thankful for the baby inside me! i am sorry about the loss of your baby but i am happy you have one growing right now! I understand family it what it is and i like the saying from your mom. I got a good laugh and I plan to pass on that saying.
