ABOUT US

My name is Bridget. I'm a christian mother of two wonderful teenagers and the wife to the most loveable/supportive/caring christian husband. Earl Jr. and I have been married for almost ninthteen blessed years and we are eagerly looking forward to what God has in store for our family in the coming years.

Well our ttc journey wasn't an easy one. My darling husband and I immediately started trying to conceive after we were married. I assumed that it would just happen for us but this was not the case. We were blessed to conceive two months after we were married but sadly it ended in a miscarriage.

After my husband returned from his deployment in Saudi Arabia we decided that we wanted to definitely try again. We were once again blessed to conceive without any medical intervention. I carried the pregnancy for almost six months before finding out that the pregnancy wasn't viable, it was a life-threating ectopic pregnancy. I was into surgery for the ectopic and had a partial right tubal removal. After recovering from the ectopic I was too afraid to try again, but a part of me didn't want to give up either. So, against the advice of military doctors we decided to try again. I was told that we would never be able to achieve a healthy pregnancy on our own without medical intervention. But God had other plans.......

I was three months along before we discovered that I was pregnant with our son Marquise. God blessed us to go 42 weeks into the pregnancy before our son was born, June 25, 1992. This was a very blessed and exciting time in our lives. Three weeks after our son was born, my husband medically retired from the United States Army and we moved back home to Louisiana.

I wasn't concerned about getting pg again b/c I was breastfeeding and hadn't had my period. I was told by my OB/GYN that I couldn't get pg while breastfeeding and having no AF. Well, I was breastfeeding our son who was nine months old and started experiencing a lot of nausea and grumpiness. Decided to take a hpt and guess what? We discovered that I was pregnant again. Whoever lied and said that it's impossible to get pregnant while breastfeeding, really need to re-think that presumption. I found out that I was three months along in the pregnancy after being involved in a car accident. Well, to our surprise I wasn't pregnant with just one baby but "two." We were in utter shock. I didn't take any meds or anything to get pg with twins, they are so common on both sides of our families. But we never once considered that it was a possibility.

I was blessed to give birth to, two tiny little miracles two months earlier than expected. Sadly, our son only lived the first three months of his life before going home to be with God. This was a very sad and trying time in our lives. He will always have and hold a very special place in our hearts. He is still sadly missed today. Mommy, Daddy and Family really miss our little angel.

Always put first things first; God above all else

Well, it has been almost fourteen years since I have held a little one in my arms. It has now been a year of actively trying to conceive again. My arms are empty for the moment but God has promised me and shown me that he will once again open my womb in his time and I will conceive more miracles. So we are patiently waiting to add two peas to our humble little pod. In all things, Father God we give you thanks.

I want to Thank all of you ladies who have been such a blessing to me on this site, you all know who you are.

This site is truly a blessing, especially since there are people who can relate to the happiness, the joy, the struggles, the losses, stresses, and finally the blessing that comes with TTC. I just want you all to know that I love you and I'm thankful to God that I was blessed to meet all of you wonderful women.

February 19th - AF showed 2 days early. No baby this month. Maybe next month Lord willing. I did pray before AF came and asked God for his will to do done and I got his answer. I was pretty torn at first but God's grace is sufficient. I have scheduled and appointment to see a RE for March 3rd, praying that all goes well next month. I want to thank all of the wonderful and supporting ladies on this board for their encouragement and for cheering me on this month. I love you so much. On to another month, pray for me because I refuse to give up.
