Yes, it's true...

I am PREGNANT, again! This news came to us on Friday, after a week of vomiting and diarrhea that wouldn't go away. I was completely shocked, so why did I even take a test? Well my mother-in-law asked me twice, "Are you sure you aren't pregnant?" (of course she asked me in Spanish, as she doesn't speak any English), and my response was to laugh. Did you read my last post, my husband and I are dealing with difficulties in our marriage and pregnancy is almost impossible. However, I started trying to remember the last time my dear Aunt Flow came to visit, and it seems I am about 2 weeks late. AAAHHHH???? How, why, what in the hell are we going to do?
Thursday night, I get up the guts to tell Paul that I am late. His response, killing flies and mosquitoes, it was kinda funny and I could tell he was thinking. He did this, searching and killing for like 45 min. Finally, coming to sit with me on the couch and asking me how I felt about this. My response, tears. His, we have to work this out whether there is a baby or not. Um, THANK YOU GOD. Fasting gave me something I never expected, and a true miracle because in all honesty I didn't know you could ovulate just days after Aunt Flow packs up and leaves. Boy is God great.
Friday, I call my sister, Lucy and tell her that I have an emergency and I need to talk. We Skype all day and I finally have to pee so I can take the test. I don't tell her because then we will both suffer through a 3 min eternity together and it would probably prompt her to sing...haha! To my surprise, there are two blue lines and I want to faint. Lucy is feeling me and just looks at me when I tell her. "I have to call Paul, be quiet!", "Oh my God, Mom is gonna kill me", "The line is busy", "Lucy what am I gonna do?", and so on. When I finally get up with Paul, he is elated, excited, beside himself.
I don't know what it is, but my husband is the happiest when I am pregnant. He has been glowing since he found out. Of course, this makes me happy. He is telling everyone it is a girl this time...he is totally gonna jinx us! I am feeling different this time, boobs aren't terribly sore and I am not vomiting every 5 mins, yet. I am praying that God will help me this time and keep my vomiting to a minimum!
Oh, and my mom didn't kill me, she is excited! And, I am looking forward to my six month visit home, can't wait for American food!!! Well, this is it for now. Thank you to everyone for your prayers, God is listening and has something great up His sleeve!

  1. Maybe this baby was Gods way of bringing you two closer together. Look at it like "everything happens for a reason" :). I hope the pregnancy is easy on you and that you and your husband can grow closer together through this journey!
