- Get Your Own

HERE IS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF. I MET MY HUSBAND WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND WE DECIDED TOGET MARRIED 4 MONTHS LATER. SINCE THE BEGINNING I STARTED USING BIRTH CONTROL AND AFTER A YEAR OF BEING MARRIED I DECIDED TO STOP TAKING BIRTH CONTROL. I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO GET PREGNANT RIGHT AWAY BUT I DID A MONTH LATER I GOT PREGNANT. I WAS HAPPY AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THEN I BECAME VERY HAPPY TO BECOME A MOTHER. AT 12 WEEKS I STARTED SPOTTING AND AFTER 3 DAYS I WENT TO MY DR. SHE TRIED TO HEAR THE HEARTBEAT BUT SHE COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. WHEN SHE DID AN ULTRASOUND THERE WAS NOTHING ONLY THE LITTLE SAC BUT EMPTY MEANING THE BABY NEVER DEVELOPED. I WAS DEVASTATED BUT SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME THAT I COULD TRY AGAIN IN 3 MONTHS. AND THAT WAS IT. BUT I REALLY NEVER GOT A REAL PERIOD AFTER A MONTH LATER WHEN I WAS AT CHURCH A GUSH OF BLOOD CAME RUNNING DOWN. I WAS SO SCARED BUT NOT CONCERNED I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND AFTER 4 HOURS THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. THEN 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WOKE UP TO GO TO WORK CLOTS OF BLOOD CAME OUT AS I GOT UP AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG STILL I WENT TO WORK. BUT WHEN I WOULD GET UP WHILE AT WORK BLOOD WOULDN'T STOP RUNNING. SO MY HUSBAND TOOKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL AND I HAD A DNC DONE. THAT WAS A REAL BAD AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. I WAS SO PARANOID OF GETTING MY PERIOD I WOULD START CRYING. I COULDN'T SLEEP SOME NIGHTS BUT THANK GOD I GOT OVER IT. THEN IN APRIL OF 2006 I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST I WAS A VERY LIGHT POSITIVE TEST BUT THEN COUPLE OF DAYS LATER MY PERIOD CAME. I WENT TO MY DR. THE BLOODTEST CONFIRMED THE PREGNANCY HORMONE BUT TOO LOW. AGAIN I WAS DEVASTATED. THEN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. SAME THING HAPPEN. MISSED PERID, POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST. THEN I GOT MY PERIOD. I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. BUT MY HUSBAND ALWAYS TRIED TO KEEP MY HOPES UP. THEN ON JANUARY I THINK MY GOD HEARD MY PRAYERS I MISSED MY PERIOD BUT I DIND'T THINK ANYTHING BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE. THEN I FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT SO I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS POSITIVE. I WASN'T REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SO I WENT TO MY DR RIGHT AWAY AND SHE PRESCRIBED PROGESTERONE SUPPOSITORIES AND TOLD ME NOT TO DO ANYTHING. SO AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF NOT GETTING MY PERIOD I STARTED GETTING A LITTLE EXCITED AND PRAYING TO GOD. AND AT 8 WEEKS I WENT FOR MY 1ST ULTRASOUND IT WAS AMAZING SEEING MY LITTLE PEANUT. AND NOW JUST FEELING HER AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR HER HEART JUST CONSUMES ME WITH HAPPINESS AND EVERYDAY I PRAY TO GOD FOR GIVING THIS PRECIOUS GIFT AND HOPING THAT EVERYTHING GOES OK FOR ME AND MY BABY.

HERE I'M 16 WEEKS

This is at 8 Weeks.

THIS IS WHEN I SAW MY BABY FOR THE 1ST TIME I WAS SO HAPPY I STARTED CRYING. THIS IS WHEN IT FINALLY KICKED IN THAT THERE WAS A NOTHER LIFE INSIDE OF ME. PLUS I HAD STARTED SPOTTING THE DAY BEFORE AND I THOUGHT I HAD LOST THE BABY I WAS SO SAD. BUT MY HUSBAND KEPT TELLING ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OKAY.

HERE IS AT 15 WEEKS.

HERE MOMMY AND DADDY SAW BABY FOR THE 2ND TIME. SHE WAS MOVING THE WHOLE TIME. WE WERE BOTH EXCITED TO SEE BABY WAS OK . AND THAT I HAD MADE IT THIS FAR!

ON MAY 1 WE FOUND OUT WE WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE GIRL! MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO HAPPY. SINCE THE BEGINNING HE WANTED A LITTLE GIRL BUT WHATEVER CAME AS LONG AS IT WAS HEALTHY. BUT WE ARE GETTING WHAT WE WANTED. HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING COMES OUT OK.

YEP AFTER A FEW ARGUMENTS AND DISAGREEMENTS ME AND MY HUSBAND HAVE DECIDED HOW WE ARE GOING TO NAME OUR BABY. WELL ACTUALLY I PICKED THE NAMES. "GENESIS JOSEPHINE " . GENESIS CAUSE I ALWASYS LIKED THAT NAME AND JOSEPHINE AFTER MY GRANDMA WHO PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR AND WHOM I LOVED VERY MUCH. I THINK IT SOUNDS GOOD AND I LIKE IT. SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK. ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED!

HERE WE ARE AT 21 WEEKS.

This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We'd give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed
