Just when you think Life may get better. You get thrown a curve ball. I found out this weekend that I am pregnant.<BR>I have a history of high risk pregnancies (all of them were very High Risk), so the timing is not great. I am tired, and already very nauseous. Running after a 16 month old does not help. I am angry about all this garbage, that I have been subjected too. and I am not in the mood for all the blood work, that I have to be subjected too. I am old, and the risk of Miscarriage is high. So if you dont see me around to much you all know why. I wish every one the best you are an amazing group of women. I never in a million years, thought I could be as strong as you all taught me to be (did that make sense?? or are the Pregnancy hormones crazy already?) I usually spend the first three months around the bathroom, the second in bed and we always pray we can get at least to 8 months (usually requiring alot of medications, which I have already started) so you see, as much as I love kids. There is a gap between my 9 y/o and 16 month old (we never tried NOT to have them, had a lot of losses)this is always a scary (stressful) time for me. I will come around as much as I can. But I am so yuccky now.<BR>Lots of (((huggs))) take care MC

My dear MC,<P>WOW!!! You have been such an inspiration to me, I am not sure how I can be there for you but whatever you need, please don't hesistate to ask. How far along are you? <P>It is a shock. Please take care of yourself. In bed with a 16 month old is hard not matter what. Is your H there and supportive for you? I certainly hope so. If not, there is an LB fairie on the GQII and d/d board that is willing to fly over and do a number on whoever you need (done with tough love of course [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com])<P>Write when you can and we will try not to get you too worked up. <P>Take Care,<BR>L.<BR>

I cannot imagine how you are feeling right now, both emotionally & physically. To have been so drained over the past few months... I am not sure I would have the emotional energy for it all. But who knows.. maybe this will be the one pregnancy that flys by & you feel good. I cannot imagine that God would have it otherwise for you. <P>Mine were 14 mths apart, so I know how zapped you can be. I felt like I breastfeed for two solid years... and actually I think I did! Find a good mothers day out or get extra help in the house. It is what you need right now. You may look at your driver's license & see your age and think "I am too old for this". But as long as your heart can laugh & love children as much as you do... well this will be ok. <P>Blessing to you and this little one! Love... Carolyn

Hi - They say that God gives us only what we can handle - HE's got some sense of timing - huh? Really I think you can do this. I think Carolyn's idea is the best. Get some help. Even if it is a high school kid, mother's helper etc. It may help you not be so exhausted. We'll all be thinking of you and want to hear some updates when you are able.<BR> kris
