  1. I am in tears after reading this. Thank you so much for posting this... Thank you all for your overpouring of love and prayers.:grouphug: This experience was test of faith in many ways. Timothy has told me that he feels closer to God than he did before. My heart wishes so much that we could have had our baby but God knows why we could not. I can only take peace in knowing that my little one is with Christ now and that someday when we will be reunited. I am thankful for God carrying me, I really feel his mercy and grace over me.
  2. My friends, I want to let you know that this afternoon I misscarried. My doctor was contacted and I was told it was a complete miscarriage and no surgery was needed. It happened naturally at home with my family. While my heart grieves I know that God's will prevailed. Even though my heart's desire was to have this baby, God knew the outcome before we did. Our baby is now with the Lord. I rejoice that one day I will be reunited with my two babies. One first one I lost on July 1, 1997 and this one I lost today July 3, 2008 My eyes are filled with tears and my heart feels empty inside. I cannot God why. I am not angry at Him or anyone. God answered our prayers when we asked for whatever happens to be His Will. It may not be the answer I wanted in my heart but I accept His will. I am resting at home and taking Tylenol for the pain. Tim has been very supported. He is grieving also. My oldest son Michael understands what has happened and he has been near me all afternoon, hugging me and telling me he loves me. Right now, I am a "jumble of emotions" but I wanted to let you all how much your thoughts and prayers have been a great help to us." Jesus is holding me up through this and I give all the glory to Him. Thank you Jesus for blessing me with my family and friends and the wonderful people here. :grouphug: Thank you Lord for my little one. May I be reunited with my baby in heaven one day...
  3. Tuesday, July 1st, we got to the OB at 10:40 AM for my appt with Dr. Van Windergen. My appt. was orginally for 1 PM but they moved it up. Timothy and the boys were there. While in the waiting room, Timothy did some homeschooling with Michael (on Aesop's Fables). Matthew did come coloring. After some time, everyone's patience was wearing thin (even mine). We did not get to see the doctor until after 1 PM. They were backed up. She did a vaginal sono and believes that she does not see any growth since last week. I told her I have no spotting or bleeding and I feel fine. She did some labs and they ran a test on my blood clotting factor. We get the results next week. For now, I am to go home and let her know if I have cramping, or severe bleeding. I have faith and I am staying steadfast to God and that His will has not been decided yet. I spoke with my sister and she told me that Faith is being convinced of the truth, being certain of reality, having evidence of unseen things, and believing, hoping in, embracing, seizing the truth. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see Luke 17:5 (NIV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you." My doctor is going by what she sees and I am going by what it is unseen. I still have my baby in my womb and in my heart that is grace from God. I do not feel any signs that tell me otherwise. I am letting you know that if I see signs/symptoms I will go to the hospital but for now I am feeling fine. My faith is holding me up. I still praise God for this little life and ask for His continued Love, Strength, Grace and Mercy... :pray: Do not give hope because I am not... I have accepted that God's will be revealed to me in time... I thank you all for thoughts and prayers. They are helping me. :grouphug: Love, Sandra Here is what I am reading on Faith. http://www.acts17-11.com/faith.html http://www.cortright.org/belhope.htm
  4. Sometimes with medical appts and our park/library days, Wednesdays get left behind when it comes to getting any homeschooling done. We are using Saturdays as a make up day and also set it aside for science projects and read alouds.
  5. Thank you. I feel so much love and support from my family and friends. I have hope and I know that God has His hand in this matter.
  6. For those who don't know I am pregnant with our third baby. I am a diabetic in a high risk pregnancy and seeing my Ob/Gyn every week. I saw my OB/GYN Wednesday June 24th. She gave me the results of the HCG levels drawn on Wednesday June 18th and Friday June 20th. She was not pleased with the levels. On Wednesday, June 18th they were 540 and on Friday June 20th it dropped to 516. She said it is her opinion that the pregnancy halted. She did a sono and it is meauring about one inch. She offered me two options: a D&C or wait for it to happen naturally. I choose the latter. I am to see her next Wednesday July 1st at 1 PM. I cried in her arms and she held me. She delivered Matthew and I really admire her as a friend and doctor. I called my sister Diane and we prayed for what happens for it to be God's will. I am placing it in God's hands and telling God that my heart's desire is to have this baby. I am praying for miracle. I went through this with Matthew and I have faith in my Lord. If things do not go as planned, I will accept it and not be angry with God. I have read other women have gone through this with lower levels and continue with a healthy pregnancy so I am claiming that as a testimony to God's love and power. I love God and I have to believe there is a purpose in this. Please continue to keep me and the baby and family in in prayer. Thank you for your thougths and prayers. I attended a women's bible group study and prayer Wednesday night at 7 PM. I needed this. Timothy stayed at home with the boys. He was taking hard but holding on to faith as well. At the meeting there were 19 women there (not counting their kids). We sang, had prayer, bible study and fellowship. They prayed on me and the baby. I was uplifted in spirit there. My sister Diane was there and her four daughters ( two of whom are married and have children of their own). It was nice seeing them and being with family there. I heard testimonies of women who had overcome cancer, an etopic pregnancy and healing of marriages. I have faith in God and I am at peace. God has taken away my fears and replaced with love, peace and hope. I learned that God has the ultimate say in this and I am placing my faith and my life in His hands. Jeremiah:29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Psalms 33:20-22 22 We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. 21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. 22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
  7. We are currently using MCP Math. Seton Educational Media also carries the 1994 edition for a lower price.
  8. Thank you for the update. Praying for the whole family.
  9. I was 39 (about to turn 40) when we were trying for our second child. My cycles then were about every 28 days. It took us 6 months to conceive our second child. Now I am 43 and for the last six months my cycles were from 28 days to 48 days and I was thinking it was early menopause. Within 3 1/2 months, we conceived this child that I am carrying. God only knows why... I am just happy that God blessed us again.
  10. I have a tote for the kids and a large book bag that my older sister Roslyn gave me for my 40th bday. We go to the library every Wednesday by car. We always walk out with more than 30 books. :D We used to go every three weeks to a nearby book mobile nearby when we did not have a car. With gas prices these days, I have been thinking of going to the book mobile by foot.
  11. Praying for your friend's daughter's safe return and for the family. :grouphug:
  12. I had one done about 25 years ago. I wish I had taken some pain medication beforehand. Praying all goes well. :grouphug:
  13. I use two storage organizers on wheels that I can roll out when I need to. I use clear plastic containers that I get at the Dollar tree to store brushes, fingerpaints, glue, etc.
