Tonight I peed on a stick. This is what I saw: (+)
Oh. My. Word. A flood of emotions is going through me right now. I'm so happy!!! And...I'm so scared. I'm so freaking scared of losing another baby. So please, please, let's all be like the persistant widow and start beating God's door down. Please ask him to protect this little one in my womb. And ask him to protect my heart and to keep my eyes on him. Ask him to ease my fears and help me to rest. And thank him! Thank him for seeing me. Thank him for hearing me.
More updates soon!

Dear Heavenly Father
Keep our joy complete and keep this little child safe, help this precious one to grow and be born to bring joy to every heart.
Dear Jeana,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! There is no reason for it to be anything else! You see, since God knits each of us together in our mother's womb, and knows the number of our days, how I figure it is someday God will introduce you to your others kids.
Like any death, the premature loss of the life of a baby is too difficult and painful for us to understand; but God has His reasons, and He has everything under control. Always. Especially when it makes no sense to us. Good thing He doesn't let us know much more ahead of time: we simply couldn't take it!
So know this already: God knows your precious little one by name, whether He chooses to make the introductions here on earth or later in heaven. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding...."
Thank you for sharing your tender heart. I am placing it in the most secure place I know: the tender, loving, scarred hands of the Son who will keep His hands in those of His Father's.
Oh my Jeana,
ReplyDeleteI love you so much. I am so excited for you! Adam just came and woke
me up to tell me that you were pregnant. All I feel is excited--even
with the other miscarriages. Thank you for entrusting us with this
information. We will be praying and praising with you.
Love and hugs and a few excited squeals,
Molly
grats miss tangy! vgj, well done. love, doodly
ReplyDeletehooray!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you and the little life in your belly!
love
hooraaaayyyy!
ReplyDeletei will totally pray for your womb. in addition to direct blessing of your uterus, i think that god has given us lots of herbal resources to nourish and sustain our bodies and our babies. start drinking red raspberry leaf tea at least daily as it tones, strengthens and nourishes your uterus. nettle tea is really good for nourinshing the overall female body and repleninshing the stuff that women particularly need - iron, calcium, potassium and other good things in just the right ballance.
you can get red raspberry leaf tea and nettle leaf tea in the healthfood section of any grocery store. or, if you want to invest a tiny bit more energy and a lot less money into your nourinshing tea regimine, let me know and i can write some easy directions for sourcing and making your own even more nourishing herbal infusions.
geeze, as i reread this it sounds like i'm selling some kind of hippy helath remedy but i'm not - i'm just really into natural remedies.
i can't find my book on herbs for the childbearing year right now but when i do i will message you somemore herbal resources. oh, and don't take high levels of vitamin C during your first trimester.
blessings on your belly,
raeben
Congratulations! What a great perspective. I will be praying for your little one. I love reading your blog by the way -- you are a great writer. Have you ever thought of submitting any of your vignettes to Reader's Digest? They're very cute.
ReplyDeleteKelly

Jeana,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you let me know that you're pregnant! What a blessing after these long months of troubled bleeding. Please know that I am continuing to pray for you and for protection for this baby. May the Lord grant you a deep-seeded peace during these next months. I'm so looking forward to seeing you again! I love you Jeana!

In repentance and rest is your salvation,
In quietness and trust is your strength."

I forgot to sign last night but remembered when checking Carols blog....
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!!!!!! I'll be praying with you and all your family and friends that God can ease your mind and help you to enjoy the blessings of this little one.
Take deep breaths, one day at a time and SMILE!!!
Hugs and prayers,

Jeana and Geary, we're so happy for you guys. You will continue to be in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteJeana,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! I am with you 100%!!! I have decided that the next time I am pregnant I am going to rejoice and "claim God's promise to be fruitful, and not let Satan claim my seed!!!!! "
I am rejoicing with you and again, I thank you so much for sharing. Let's plan on hanging out in the nursery again sometime next year!!! :-)
Love and prayers,
Letitia
Jeana,
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to tell you how excited I am for you.
When I found out I was pregnant, we were *so* not expecting it. In fact, we had already gone in for our pre-op appt. for Jed's vasectomy. Before finding out about the pregnancy, I was already at a point of great emotional pain and really not seeing hope - God was allowing me to see a lot of painful things and asking me to walk through them instead of around them.
When I saw that little (+) sign (on all FOUR sticks) I just wept. When I told Jed, he did the same. I could not for the life of me figure out why God would do this now. I was not excited.
My first thought was, "God, why me? Why not Jeana?"
Jeana, I have been so touched by your tenderness and your yearning for another child- even in the midst of loss. Remembering your tenderness and hope has been a constant encouragement to me thus far in my pregnancy (and I have therefore been praying regularly that God would bless your little tummy with new life.)
I am praying that He will keep you tender- that you will keep your heart alive, even when it's scary. I am praying that he will grow this sweet little baby into a great big baby that will nurse at your breast and keep you up at night. May this child be a blessing to her family and a giver of glory to the Lord.
