Although, I know that my issues no way in compare to what you're going through (and I mean that wholeheartedly), I can certainly relate to the way you feel - maybe not exactly how you feel, but still. ...the crying...the not wanting to make my husband upset by my crying...getting upset that he can sleep in 2.5 seconds while I cry all night...<br /><br />I feel like I have to say how much I admire you (probably again!...and I probably will again and again). Although you may feel like a mess at times, know that you're SO strong and SO inspiring. I just want to give you a big hug and tell you how awesome you are. So: *HUG* :)<br /><br />I love that you ended your post with the kitties. I love that you're a crazy cat lady - I am a crazy lady of the canine kind - so I appreciate the animal love. :)<br /><br />Here's to hoping that today is better than yesterday. But if it's not, that's okay. Never feel guilty about having your emotions! :) I will say a little prayer for you and for your baby that is just being so stubborn. ;) He/she will come - I just KNOW it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648563076032021002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-63792489839689922082011-08-30T07:17:32.259-07:002011-08-30T07:17:32.259-07:00I am so moved by your post and I want you to know ...I am so moved by your post and I want you to know that I will pray for you.

But when we were trying to have a second baby we were told that we would not be able to have any more children, all the while my body was going through a chemical pregnancy, it was torture. But finally after a year of trying we got pregnant using clomid. Miracle babies happen all the time. What also worked for us was we stopping ''trying'' and went on a few weekend get aways to relax.<br /> {sorry if that seems bad that I am talking about my troubles of having a second baby} <br /><br />xoxo Amber www.ambergioiasmith.blogspot.comAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647326711006309354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-9729872707265692142011-08-29T19:45:51.052-07:002011-08-29T19:45:51.052-07:00Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're facing dis...Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're facing disappointment yet again. And it's doubly difficult when your spouse is lying there completely oblivious to your pain. <br /><br />When our daughter was born, there was a mistake in the due date estimation, and her lungs were unprepared for birth. After the C-section the doctors whisked her away, sedated her with general anesthesia and intubated her. I was lying there recovering from my C-section in a hazy blur of morphine, waiting for my daughter to be brought to me, and I just kept getting worse and worse news from the nurses. Finally the head NICU nurse came to my room and said, "Your daughter is VERY sick. We need to get you down there to see her RIGHT NOW." <br /><br />I was wheeled into the NICU, sobbing uncontrollably on my gurney, to see my daughter lying unconscious, hooked up to what looked like millions of tubes and wires and machines. I felt like I was saying hello and goodbye all at the same time. I was told there was a chance she wouldn't make it through the night.<br /><br />We got back to our room and I called my pastor and got our daughter on the prayer chain. I called everyone I knew and begged for their prayers. Then the doctors and nurses told me to get some rest, turned out the lights, and left us alone, in the quiet.<br /><br />My husband fell asleep within ten minutes, and he spent the night snoring loudly while I lay awake, alternatively sobbing and writhing in pain from what all of the sobbing and hiccuping was doing to my incision. I was furious with my husband--how could he sleep when our daughter was fighting for her life? I wanted him to hold my hand... but since I was pretty much immobile, I couldn't go to him, and I was too angry at him to wake him up and demand he comfort me. <br /><br />It was probably the worst night of my life. The good news is that our daughter made a miraculous turnaround, and she was able to be released within a week. She is now completely healthy. But it took me a long time to get over the anger I had at my husband for just NOT GETTING IT. When he heard she was okay, he basically said, "See, I told you it would be fine." <br /><br />I was so angry with him for so long that I finally spoke with my pastor about it, and he explained that God paired us together for a reason. My husband is the calm one, who can rest and be reasonable even in the most dire of circumstances, and I'm the one who helps him to understand the importance of certain things. <br /><br />I remember my pastor saying, "Imagine if both of you had been hysterical... it would have been a mess. God knew you needed Ethan's strength." And from then on, I started seeing it differently. We both bring something to the table... sometimes I overreact, and sometimes he underreacts, but we balance each other. I remember my pastor saying "God knew what He was doing when He brought you two together." <br /><br />That statement has brought me tremendous strength over the years and has helped me become more tolerant of my husband's seeming indifference to catastrophe or heartache. We balance each other. <br /><br />Anyway, I think I've written a book here by now... but I'm trying to say that I hear you, I feel for you, I'm praying for you, and I'm also praying that you and your husband can connect and find some balance and calm in the midst of the turmoil.<br /><br />Hang in there. You are never alone. <br /><br />Hugs, JennJennhttp://www.misadventuresinmotherhood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-7015029749384658122011-08-29T19:19:22.551-07:002011-08-29T19:19:22.551-07:00I'm so very sorry :( Huge hugs.I'm so very sorry :( Huge hugs.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801772742846761021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-5962012305417392602011-08-29T19:13:34.077-07:002011-08-29T19:13:34.077-07:00Oh honey, I am so sorry.
