There is a lot weighting on my heart today, and it's been really really difficult to be able to keep strong. It's hard for me not to choke up and burst up in tears. I know that the Lord has a plan for me and my family and I know that ultimetly anything in my future is up to Him alone, and He is stronger then me, stronger in that He knows what the plan is, and knows what is best for me. I might not know it now, but I have to trust Him no matter how hard it is for me to understand what is going on.
Most of my family and friends know that about 2 weeks ago we found out that we were pregnant, most people keep it in and don't tell anyone but as excited as I was and as long as we were trying to concieve baby number 3 to our family I just couldn't keep it quiet. I probably should have waited till I knew everything was okay and that everything was going in the right direction with our pregnancy, and not that it isn't but it isn't exactly where or what I want to be at right now. We had an ultrasound this morning and I was so scared, but I've been praying and trusting in the Lord that it will be okay and things will work out and it's in the master plan. I wanted to be able to hear the babys heartbeat to know that things were okay, that everything was going the way it was suppose to. The doctors couldn't find the fetal pole, but that doesn't mean that the baby isn't there it just means that they couldn't tell it on the ultrasound. I had to go for bloodwork to check my hcg levels and after hearing from the nurse that they're 21,000 right now settles my mind a bit but not completly. I'm scared right now that I'm going to lose my pregnancy, the baby that I haven't really gotten a chance to know, a baby that I want to be able to hold and nurish and bless into our family. I guess the biggest thing to swollow right now is that it's not in my hands, I have no control. That's the hardest thing for me to deal with right now, for a parent who is always in control of things or tries to be.
We've lost three pregnancies, and with each one I've been scared about losing another one when we do get pregnant. But something in my heart tells me that it's okay and that it's meant to be, we're meant to have a family, and it's not in our hands right now. My heart tells me everything is going to be okay, that I need to calm down, take a breath, relax and let whatever happen, happen. But my mind still has that little voice in the back of my mind saying that it's going to happen again, better watch out...I just want this pregnancy to be healthy and not worry. This is so much easier done then said. The nurse was glad to know that I wasn't bleeding or cramping and that it was a good sign. I have to wait another two days to go and pick up more blood work so that I can check my hcg levels again to make sure that they're climbing. This is nerve racking because it's something once agian I have no control over. The nurse says that it might be just a micalculation on my dates or something along the lines and not to worry. I'm trying.
After debating whether or not to post this or to write what I'm thinking I figured that everyone here is a parent, and probably knows being scared about being pregnant to some degree. I don't wish this upon anyone. Yet I keep putting myself through this mental anguish...in the long run I know it's His plan and I keep telling myself it will work out the way it's suppose to.
This is what's on my breaking heart and my crazy mind right now.
