Feeling uber emotional!!
I'm having a super emotional morning. I keep tearing up. I could blame it on my monthly visitor coming but that usually isn't a big deal. I was looking at facebook and one of my friends just announced that she is expecting and having a Thanksgiving baby! That's great news and I'm very happy for her but it hit me kinda hard because I'm supposed to be having a Thanksgiving baby!! I got pregnant in February and miscarried last month. I started spotting on April 10th and thankfully I had my first OB appointment scheduled for the very next day. They found a sac but couldn't even see a baby and told me that I am miscarrying. I've always had a hard time getting pregnant but never had any problem once I got pregnant. I had no idea what to expect and I got worried when they prescribed me THREE bottles of 800mg motrin. I was also worried because we were leaving the very next morning to go to my Aunt's funeral in Northern Utah. I was literally miscarrying at my Aunt's funeral! I can't say that was a great day. I was truly very blessed because it was just like a very bad period. I really am ok because I feel that it's going to happen. It's just disappointing because it took almost a year to get pregnant. And it just stinks because I had a due date and had started planning and then all of a sudden, it's not there. And it hits me everytime I hear of a new pregnancy and it seems like everyone I know is getting pregnant!! But it's ok. I am comforted. My time will come. I just don't want it to take too long because I am getting OLD!!! I thought we were done with my 3rd but he came and I still didn't feel done. Travis and I went to the temple and prayed about it and we know we are supposed to have a 4th. Even though it scares the daylights out of me to be responsible for that many kids and financially pay for that many kids, we know that there is a little spirit up there wanting to come to our family! And really who could blame him/her? :) I just don't want to be too old of a Mama! And after going through this, I really don't know why it's normal for people to not tell of their pregnancies just in case of a miscarriage. Why? That just means you go through this while your friends have no idea that you are going through something!! It's hard to say and very hard to just bring up in conversation. It's not like you can say, "Hey....guess what!!" So I needed to put my thoughts and feelings down while I'm going through it and later when I'm expecting our 4th, I can look back and it will all just be a memory. I know everything will be alright....just later than we first thought.

Oh Krista! I am so sorry. We've been trying to get pregnant for about 10 months now too. I can't imagine going through this. but it is an amazing feeling knowing there is another spirit wanting to come to your family. I get that feeling every day. The timing is on Heavenly Father's time. I hate hearing that but its the truth. You're time will come because you got the answer from Heavenly Father that there will be another baby. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen!!! I needed that!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Krista! I have gone through those emotions before and it is hard. It is hard to put our trust in the Lord's timing. But is sounds like you are just doing that, trusting and having faith. It will happen and that baby will be so lucky to come to your family and have you as their mom. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess!! I know you felt the same way!! And now look at you!! I miss going VTing with you and having our little chats! It seems like we go through the same trials:)
