Hi all! I could really use some encouragement to get through the next week or so. I'm in that awful time of the month when we're waiting for Aunt Flo to rear her ugly head (and tell us I'm not preggers, again). For the last few months, I haven't really stressed about it. Either I was recovering from surgery, or DH was sick, or we had just gotten the news that DH's sperm count was really low. That last one especially took the pressure off. But now, with the news that DH is now "armed and dangerous" those long repressed thoughts about "maybe this month" are back. We timed everything just right, so it's really out of our hands now. We are starting the adoption process next month, after the holiday stress is over. I guess I feel like if God's going to do it, he'll do it this month. (Obviously I can't order God around, or I'd already be a mommy, but you get the point!)

I've had one early pregnancy indicator hanging around for about 4 days now, but unfortunately, I get the same thing with PMS almost every month, but this time, it's a little early. Just early enough to mess with my head, you know. I don't honestly believe I'm with child, but sometimes when you want something so badly, your mind plays tricks on you. I wish I was immune to this sort of thing, but I'm not.

Could you all please just keep D.B. and I in your thoughts? I hate even mentioning anything to DH that might get his hopes up. He has been so wonderful through this whole thing, but we are strapped into this roller coaster together. And we really are excited about adopting, but I sure would love to experience pregnancy. I'll know for sure by Christmas, and you can be certain I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for always letting me ramble (and whine too)! You have all been such blessings to me.

Amy,

I am praying like crazy for you and DB- keep us posted!

**chezp** · 12-18-2003, 01:25 AM

Amy, I'll be thinking of you and your DH.

**Colexis Mom** · 12-18-2003, 06:53 AM

Sending you both prayers and pixie Amy

Thinking of you both!!

Belle* · 12-18-2003, 08:25 AM

I remember those feelings well.

Sending you pixie dust to get through it. It's a Catch-22, isn't it? You want to think positive but if you do and you don't get your wish, your heart breaks that much more. Hoping that this month you get your Christmas wish!

loobyoxlip · 12-18-2003, 09:21 AM

Amy, I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts, too. Y'know what I've seen happen so many times? Couples who go through the adoption process, get their little bundle of joy, forget about any stress, and end up getting pg not long after that! Double the joy!

Best wishes

MegglesMom · 12-18-2003, 11:41 AM

Amy, my thoughts and prayers are with you... please check your PMs if you get a chance.

wdwlovers · 12-18-2003, 01:48 PM

Will keep you two in my thoughts. Hopefully your wish will come true.

<font color="green">As always, Amy, you and D.B. are in my thoughts and prayers. I so know that feeling during that bleeping 2 week wait, sending you lots of pixie dust and positive vibes to help you through

And a dusting of some pink baby dust too

Amy,

I know how hard it is to play that waiting game. I am on the other end after all the tests and doctors with four beautiful children. Praying for you.

simbarel · 12-19-2003, 11:53 AM

I'll keep all my fingers and toes crossed!

mrsmaup · 12-19-2003, 11:56 AM

Oh sweetie, I am prayin for peace regardless of whether aunt flo visits or not.

I have had a brief time with my second child(well trying to concieve) of being crushed when flo came and I know how it can really mess w/your head.

You and D.B. are certainly in my prayers! Those two weeks are horrible. God's Will will be done! God's blessing for you to have a wonderful Christmas!

ProChristo · 12-19-2003, 07:12 PM

You guys are so wonderful. Still no sign of Aunt Flo. I've bought one of those new digital tests. I'm thinking I may use it tomorrow a.m. That would be 3 days early, so if it's no it isn't conclusive, but if it's yes it will be a load off! Of course I may chicken out completely. We'll see. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement. You are all so awesome!
