A hold on baby #3

Well I suppose it is about time I tell everyone that I miscarried.

I miscarried at ten weeks... about ten weeks ago. Don't worry, we are doing fine. I kind of felt it coming. This pregnancy was just so different from my other two. First off, I wanted to get pregnant... but the second I found out, something was off. I was excited but something was just different. I wanted to hold off telling anyone for a while (usually we tell the second we find out, with this one I announced to most at around 8 weeks... I know, not that long to wait but it felt much longer than with the other two and it is long for us ;).

As my pregnancy progressed I had a few normal pregnancy symptoms. Mostly I was just really tired and I got my normal after noon headache, but that was it. Usually I would be super nauseous and very sensitive to smells. I was amazed when I would smell a strong smell that with my other pregnancy's would make me want to puke and with this one didn't really phase me. In the back of my mind I was really worried. Worried something was not right. Then at ten weeks it happened.I started spotting so I went into get an ultra sound. Apparently my sac had developed to 8 weeks and the baby had only made it to about five. So really, it was still an embryo. I was so thankful to know that the baby had not made it to a fetus yet. It made me feel so much better about it all. As far as miscarries go mine was easy. I passed everything on my own with minimal cramping. I was thankful for that.

You know it is strange how something like this was a total testimony builder. It gave me a greater understanding of just how much the lord knows me. He knows what is best for me and my family. I have always felt a little rushed with getting my children here. Not by anyone but me. I was excited and hoping and praying to get pregnant and I got pregnant with in a month. Then once I got pregnant a few realizations came to me. Things I had not thought of before I was pregnant.

Then I miscarried. I honestly feel it was the lord answering my prayers and letting me know I do not have to be in such a rush. Not that I want to wait many years... or even another year for that matter. But I don't think I would have been fine with the thought of waiting any other way than this.

I hope that made sense!

So yes, baby number three, we will wait patiently until the timing is right!
weather that be in a month, a year or three years.
