It has been about 3 1/2 years since the death of my infant daughter. My husband and I have been trying to conceive from about 6 months after that time until now. On Wednesday, November 21, 2007 I took two home tests that were positive. I am so happy and thankful God has blessed us!
Last evening, I have to admit I was a little nervous. After eating Thanksgiving dinner, I had severe abdominal pain. At first I thought it was just gas and would pass. After a few hours had gone by, I began to think the worst. Either I was in the process of miscarrying or I was never pregnant in the first place and this was just menstrual cramps! Needless to say, I was very nervous.
The pain finally subsided and I went to bed. In the middle of the night I felt very dehydrated and went downstairs to get a drink and use the bathroom. My husband followed shortly to check on me. He was very nervous as well.
After assuring him I was ok, we both returned to bed. We agreed that we need not lose faith during this pregnancy. We need to trust in God and stand firm on His promises. He has not brought us this far to leave us!
Thank you Lord for your mercy and faithfulness toward us! Help us not to lose faith!
