Survival Week Begins – Look Out!
April 23, 2009
Yup, it is definitely the beginning of survival week for me. But I think being at home and really only doing what I want to do has helped immensely. I warned M last night though! I will try and be good but it would help me out if he could just be little extra loving these next few days. I am also swearing off Facebook for at least the next 3-4 days. I will read anything in my inbox, but I’m not reading anyone’s status updates!
On a happier note, I think my goddaughter is going to be born next week. My friend has an appointment on Wednesday of next week and if little Janie still measures big they will induce her on Thursday! I can’t wait to finally meet her and get a sweet baby fix!!!!
I also have some other really great news. When I worked at the pregnancy center on Tuesday, I asked about that girl I counseled last week. Apparently she has put off having the abortion and actually went and saw a doctor on Monday. I think that is a REALLY great sign! It shows she is concerned about the pregnancy. Obviously she may still change her mind but from the person we talked to who gave us the update, it seemed likely she would either keep the baby or place it for adoption! Praise God!!!!! I just got the biggest smile on my face when I heard that! It just picked up my spirits after being sad about it over the weekend. God is definitely in control and I’m glad because I definitely could have done a better job last week! But it didn’t matter because God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness!
One last thing…the other day, M says to me “do you feel different?” I said, “…uh, no. What do you mean?” He basically said that he just had this feeling that I might have conceived this month. I sorta laughed at him because we actually missed my peak day by 2 days this time. In fact, I don’t think we did it all during my fertile time. A lot of things were going on last week and I just didn’t feel into it. I knew we were missing our time, but since I’m starting school, it’s not really the best time for me to get pregnant anyway (like I even can…LOL), so I didn’t see any sense in trying this month. I really don’t think there is any chance that I did get pregnant this month, but I just wanted to put this out there, just in case in DID happen (a complete miracle). (BTW, M has NEVER said this before in our 3+ years of trying).

Hmm, I hope he’s right!
That is a lot of great news! I’m looking forward to your goddaughter!

Happy Survival week! Wouldn’t that be funny if M were right? haha. I can’t do coffee this weekend because we are taking my nieces and nephew to the MSU Spring football game. Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your goddaughter. Also wonderful news about that girl at the pregnancy center.

I was praying for that woman and I was also praying for you when I read that. I can’t even imagine!
