Just a few weeks ago I joined because I was expecting but as of 2.13.08, I found out that I lost my baby. I was 14 weeks & due August 9th 08. Now I'm preparing myself to try to concieve again but i'm doing it a different way.
I'm actually preparing myself for a baby by going back to college so I can find a better job that can help me support myself & my future child. I am also preparing myself for motherhood by 1st becoming a wife to a man who will love & support me. I know he's out there looking for me so I'll save myself & wait patiently.
I will prepare myself to have a successful pregnancy by taking better care of my body as if the baby I lost is still in my womb. I will continue to eat right, not smoke & go to the doctor regularly to prevent or treat any problems that may occur.
But above all, I will prepare myself for a baby by giving my life back to God because I know he was not pleased with how my 1st pregnancy was going. I know he seen that my baby would've suffered physically or emotionally. I know he seen how I was already suffering so he gave me a 2nd chance at life & motherhood so I can bring life into this world the way he wants me to. So I will let go & let God have his way in my life.

Thank you so much for your comments & well wishes. Well I knew there would be struggles that I would have to endure so I went through a bad relationship & lost my job. The good thing is...i'm going back to school next month & i have FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY found a good man. Yes. I cant believe it either! Hard working, handsome, God fearing, respectful, considerate, smart, patient, honest...all the qualities I was looking for in a man plus some. Automatically we knew that God brought us together. We're planning on moving in together when we get on our feet. I'm so excited & he is too. We're not rushing into things because the economy is so bad but we talk about babies & marriage everyday. I am so thankful for him. & I love him with all my heart. Despite having a miscarriage & having my heartbroken...I AM happy. I have a wonderful family & a boyfriend who loves me. All I can say is "Thank You God"
So next time I update, hopefully it will be baby making season :-)
