Okay Girls…

January 25, 2007 by Janice

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I am holding a little stick and it has TWO lines – and NO ONE is answering their phone! And I am not the kind of girl that can keep this kind of information to herself!

In disbelief, with the 2nd line just beginning to appear, I phone my husband. He tells me not to get my hopes up. Now I will give him some grace because I did say the line was very faint – and I did lose our last baby. But he is very much a man and does NOT scream like a girl anyway, so his reaction was far too calm for my needs.

So next I go tell my mom. Even less of a reaction. “Hmmm…” “Isn’t it great news Mom?” “Hmmm…” “Do you think I can handle it?” “No.”

Okay – I will give her grace too. She was the one that spent the first two months of my son’s life helping me do everything as I tried to cope with post pardum depression, a sick body and a newborn.

But girls – I need to hear someone scream with delight.

I phone Susan. She had just picked up Jackson and taken the kids to the YMCA. She should still be driving. She has her phone turned off. Good grief.

I phone my friend Dawn. No answer.

I phone my friend Crystal. No answer.

So what do I do now?

I call you!

So dear internet – let me hear a loud “girl” scream – cause there are two lines!!!

Now, I know I just lamented to you on Tuesday saying that I knew I was not pregnant. But you must understand, I was trying soooo hard not to get my hopes up. This has been a long season of trying to conceive. I lost a baby at the beginning of November 2005 and each month since then it has felt like a lost another one as my hopes crashed with that horrible moment I see that my period has come.

My son has cried and screamed at God because he wants a brother or sister. He has wept asking me why God has not given us another baby yet. “But you had one baby in your belly Mommy – I remember.” (Just so you know – I don’t bring up the subject with him. He does. I just tell him that it can take a very long time to get a baby. It took Auntie three years to get Julia and sometimes we don’t always get another baby. His response, “Well that isn’t what I want for my life.” He then closed himself in the closet and cried.) Just in case you are wondering – I won’t be telling him about this baby until I am showing and I can hide it no longer. Last time I tried to wait, but when I was puking in the kitchen sink and he kept asking why Mommy was sick I gave in and told him. This time I will be more careful.

Last month I was finished with trying. I couldn’t bear the disappointment. I didn’t even pay attention to when I was supposed to be ovulating. I thought that that would make me not hope.

It didn’t work. My hope was still as strong – refusing to give up despite my attempts to beat it down.

I hoped.

I waited.

Period due yesterday. I kept going to “check.” No “news.”

This morning I peed on the stick.

And yes girls – there are two lines!!!

P.S. I know I could very well miscarry this baby. I know it is barely even there yet. But girls – you know I will tell you if I have a miscarriage anyway – how could I keep that from you?!? So I figure I will tell you all now because I need two very important things from you: First, I need to hear a scream of delight – preferably many. And second, I need you to pray that this baby gets to stay! …Thanks girls – a girl can always count on you all – as BooMama said – you all are the best internets in the world.

    Congratualtions! MY second husband and I have not been able to have a cild, to our great disappointment. I have a wonderful bot of nearly 20 (good grief!) but that hasn’t lessened the heartache of not being able to have another, despite fertility treatment. HOwever, I do count my blessings, some women can’t have even one. So – best wishes for a healthy, trouble-free pregnancy with a screaming bundle of joy at the end ;0)

    Isn’t it just like that, that as soon as you stop trying to make something happen, it happens on its own?
    Methinks you were stressing yourself out so much with all of the worrying and the trying, and when you finally “gave up” and relaxed, your body could stop dealing with the stress and go back to doing its own thing.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I peed since my friend called and said she had a dream. I’ll have to blog about it once I go public . . . for now, this is as public as I’ll go since OMWORD we’re finding this out about the same time! 🙂 Joy joy joy – and hope!

    Congratulations! Fantabulous! I’m hootin’ and hollerin’ for you. Most of all I will pray that the God who knit that child together in your womb will put His hand of peace on you and allow you to walk every moment in His grace, trust, and love. You have a treasure inside your womb right now and I pray that you will be reminded of the treasure you’ve already been given with your son. As mothers, we are only stewards of these gifts and have to leave them in the Lord’s hands, as HARD as that is from the day of conception forward. May the Lord strengthen you and guide you each step of the way!

    “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and yours minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

    Love,
    Elisa

    I know that I am late getting in here, but congrats to you! I will keep all of you in my prayers. I agree that if you would tell if you miscarried, then you should share the good news, no matter how early.

    My daughter was 4 1/2 when I miscarried and was SO happy to be getting a baby. It was an early 2nd trimester miscarriage, so she had known for a couple of weeks. It was so hard to tell her, and like Jackson, she grieved for that baby (and still remembers him 4 years later). I was also very careful about not telling her when I got pregnant. I had to be careful about telling “real-life” friends, too, because that’s how she found out the first time. But I told all my email buddies really soon.

    My sweet Kyle was worth the wait, and I know that your guy or gal will be too.

I also read your previous post you had linked to and my heart broke. I have been struggling with this very thing and your words are exactly what my heart has been crying out with.

    I am so excited for you. Your news has brought hope back for me this month. Congratulations to you, dear. May God richly bless you and your family.

    YAHOOOOO!!! I lost a baby (isn’t that a horrible way to say it? I NEVER lost the baby…I knew exactly where she was…) in November 1988, and found out in Jan 1989 that I was pregnant again. I walked on eggshells and didn’t really believe it would happen until my second darling daughter was born. Now she is 17, and I love her tons…and I appreciate SO much that she wouldn’t be here if my tragedy wouldn’t have happened. Now I know I have a sweet baby waiting for me in Heaven (I even named her Emily, but nobody knows that…) AND I have 5 wonderful kids here on earth.

    I pray that you hold this baby in your hands — healthy and full term. Even if you don’t, you will always hold her in your heart.

    I haven’t struggled with infertility as you have but I have many others very close to me that have. I have however lost a baby last September and now that I’m 11 weeks along in this pregnancy I’ve been trying to take it one day at a time. I too didn’t really tell my son until just a few days ago. He sees me getting sick too and asks if I’m ok, I just say that Mommy has a tummy ache. I’m just trying to enjoy the days that I get with this little one since they are numbered and only God knows.
    Congrats! And I pray for your and your family including the bean in your belly!!!!!

    Janice – I got goose bumps reading your post. Many squeals of delight here. I KNOW that those around you didnt get that excited (the ones who didnt have their phone turned off, anyway) because they were trying to protect you from getting too excited… in case.. etcetera.. but this really IS worth celebrating and I am Soooo glad you shared it with us.

    By the number of comments and squeals of delight, we’re all with you on this!

    I look forward to sharing this journey with you as you grow your next little bundle of joy, God willing.

    Hmm, it also occurs to me that maybe hubby needs a big thank you or something for his part in this? Especially since there seems to have been a bit of a drought on… 😉

My heart is very aware of the fear as each day progresses. I will also pray that you can rest in HIS arms during this time.

    LOL did you hear me 🙂
    I screamed even before I read that thats what you wanted to hear. I read the 1st line and I was off cheering for u

    its probably way to early but having been there 3 times I pray already against post pardum depression.

    Im sori that you lost your last baby. November 2005 was when Daniel was born. I also lost a baby 6 weeks into my pregnancy 15 years ago. Like you say it was hardly there but it is something you dont forget. BIG BIG HUG

    I am praying hard out that this baby stays put.
