It's been a rough year, we lost our first son in January due to an incompentant cervix and my wife has been struggling with depression since. They found she had a double uterus and had surgery to remove the septum. We started trying again back in June and as we saw no sign of it happening we got scared that she became sterile from the procedure (which is one of the possible side effects). She sunk in more depression with each passing day. Soon after I was diagnosed with a chronic illness and in that illness I renewed my faith in Christ and started living for Him each day, seeking His Word like a starving wolf.
Through all of this it brought us closer together and closer to Him. We joined a church and started to grow spiritually. She still doubted that she would ever get pregnant but I remained sted fast in Faith. She started feeling bad and had a blood test done a couple of weeks ago. It came back negative that we were not pregnant. This was devastating for her because she was sure that this was the culprit in her tummy troubles. Well two days ago she said something had to be done about her feeling bad and she was a week late, so she went to her OB-gyn and he said her uterus was thickening. They ran another test and it came back positive!!!
The whole time I was thinking, wouldn't it be such a blessing if she really is pregnant and the first blood test didn't pick it up. Sure enough, that was the case. We find out how far along we are on Monday. My wife's attitude towards everything has done a 180, that feels so good. Praise God for being so great! In honor of most holy God and what this pregnancy means to us on a personal level we will name our child Nathaniel if it is a boy and Grace if it is a girl. Both mean, "Gift from God".
Can't wait to meet him/her!! God Bless,
Ron

Reps: 66 (power: 0) | | I too have lost a child that meant everything to my husband and myself. It was completely heart breaking. I also slipped very deep into depression, and turned away from God. It was a horrible thing to endure. But, when I could finally submit to God He answered our prayers and blessed us with 2 children. I praise God that He has blessed you and your wife with a child. I think this will bring the both of you closer, and strenghthen your faith. Nothing on earth is greater than the joy of a child. The grace of God is a miracle to witness. |
