Then you start noticing little things that bring it back to your mind?
So, then you start obsessing about it and get paranoid about it?
Then you are analyzing every little thing, very paranoid and you just have to find out even though you know it CAN'T be true?
This happened to me the week before Christmas
So I had to find out - I even emailed Russ and called to let him know I that I just had to find out - he wanted me to wait till he got home - I said no way!
This was the results of what I was obsessing and paranoid about
I didn't even have to wait 3 minutes - it was positive right away
This how I felt - I thought I was going to faint or throw-up or both would of been appropriate
I didn't know which to do first - so I just sat on the toilet and cried - really cried
Then I called Russ - he said he was on his way home (such a great husband)
but I told him I would be fine till he got home
and I realized that evening we were having company - my inlaws for Christmas
So - being the strong, 42 year old woman - I finally pulled it together
I cried for two weeks
My husband is very understanding - I told him it may be months
Now that we are over the initial shock
and we've had a sonogram (thanks goodness it isn't twins)
I can say - I think I am excited about this
I don't know what God is thinking
but he does know what is best for us and our family
Is this His way of trying to me to trust him more with my life?
We will appreciate and love this special gift of life were are given
I know everything will work out
but really God - I'm 42 yrs old
Due Date: August 10th
and yes. . . this is why I haven't done any blogging
