Miscarriage survivor...now mother of 3

My husband and I got married in November, 2004. I was 19 at the time and he was 26. After only about 2 months of being married we decided to begin trying for a baby. I got pregnant 3 months later, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl in January of 2006. I had a feeling it wouldn't take long for us to get the "itch" again..and sure enough 6 months later we wanted another. I found out I was pregnant on September 29, 2006 at like 5 a.m. We were SO excited we couldn't sleep the rest of the night and just laid in bed hugging eachother and smiling. We couldn't wait to make our daughter a big sister. That day I felt okay...kinda sick with a bad headache. I didn't care though because we were so happy and I thought feeling ill was a good sign. As the day progressed my headache got worse and worse, and by night time I felt so ill I thought I was going to die. I went to bed and the next morning felt great. I knew feeling great was not normal...especially after the day before. But we were still so excited and I was young and healthy, so a miscarriage didn't even cross my mind. It turns out that my headaches and the pulling/ tugging feeling I kept getting were both signs of my impending miscarriage. I lost my baby Jesse on October 1, 2006. We were crushed. I cried and cried, and thought I would never recover.

After I miscarried we went to the hospital as confirmation. The doctor in the E.R. was totally not comforting and he thought I needed counseling because I was crying after losing my baby...(who do you think needs the counseling?). Well, he told me to wait at least 3 months before trying again. I couldn't believe it. I thought how ridiculous...I was only 4.5 weeks along when I lost Jesse, why would I have to wait 3 months???? Well my husband and I decided not to wait, and 2 weeks later I conceived our second daughter. I went on to have a healthy and normal pregnancy...although the first trimester was brutal for me. I was constantly thinking I was going to lose her, and thought that every twinge and ache was a bad sign. I was placed on several different prayer lists, and the Lord guided me through. If it weren't for His comfort and support I wouldn't have survived, because I was such an emotional wreck. I am now pregnant with our third daughter and I am so excited to welcome her into the world....sometime in late August early September.
