During the summer that has just passed, my husband and I were graciously celebrating the news of our third pregnancy :') We were overjoyed, we couldn't wait for our youngest daughter to finally become a big sister. Baby was actually meant to be here next month, around my birthday in February.
(The only picture that we got of baby, but oh how happy I am that we have it...)
Unfortunately, during said summer, we also lost the baby... As quickly as good news arrived, it had left just as quickly, leaving us heartbroken and confused. We only knew about the pregnancy for a total of 3 weeks... No answers as to why either, just a beautiful reminder to always be grateful for what we have.
(Picture I sent to my daughter while I was in the hospital 😅 I was actively bleeding and would lose the baby a few days later...)
Well, that was several months ago now. Ever since we got the a-okay from my doctor, we have been trying to conceive again. Albeit we have not been at it very consistently, but at the same time I have never needed to try this often either. I am not focused on it -- no tests, no hcg strips, no hormones.
Some months I have been incredibly frustrated and disheartened, but I keep reminding myself that God will know when it is the right time.
And this time I have decided to do my part. All month, every day, hubby and I have been going at it. Even on the days when I don't feel up to it -- especially when I don't...
A few days ago, I started feeling activity deep in my belly (I will not call it "movement," but it has not been food digesting).
Some days I have just been snapping under pressure, which has been very out of character for me as of late.
Uhhhhh very emotional; I cried for the entire movie of The Prince of Egypt, from start to finish. (Granted I am a very emotional person in general, so this isn't saying much! 😅).
Last night I felt immense pressure and cramping in my gut, and my period already ended last week or so.
But the seller for me has been today, as my boobs are starting to become sensitive -- I'm an A-cup, my boobs have not hurt since high school! 😂
