Update 2: 19:21 CDT. Heartbroken to report we have miscarried. Thank you all for your love and support. I know God has many great things in store for us. I cannot thank you all enough for your prayers.
Update 1: 16:55 CDT. Praise our Almighty Father in Heaven. So far, no signs of internal bleeding or other really bad symptoms for wife. The only thing I can do is keep praying. My second solution is to go get tacos and queso, so I'll be offline for the next few hours. Love to each and every one of you!!!
Hi y'all. I hope everyone is doing well despite the constant negative press.
Could any of you ladies and gentlemen pray for my wife and me today? My wife is currently in the emergency room for complications related to our second pregnancy. She is less than one month pregnant, but we may lose our precious baby today. My wife's health is also under fire because the pregnancy might be ectopic (the reason for the complications).
After over two years of trying, she became pregnant for the first time back in November but sadly we lost our precious child in January. My wife was devastated and it knocked me out of my life for many months. It changed my whole outlook on life. Unlike the lunatic lefties, I wept and grieved and pleaded with God after our child died. I have come to terms with it all, but it has been difficult.
Now all of that is flooding back. So we would appreciate any of y'all praying for us today. I know that God has a wonderful plan for my child, my wife, and me, but if you feel inclined could you please pray for God to do His will?
I was turned away at the ER because of the fucking coronavirus (only the patient is allowed inside), so I am unable to be with my wife as she learns what is happening.
Thank you all for always keeping my spirits high. I think this is the last (relatively clean) bastion of free speech on the internet. Love y'all. God bless every one of you.
Thank you! We are expecting another and I just hit 3rd trimester. How are you doing?
Hi Icegirl,
Thank you so much for replying almost three months after my original post. This means a lot to me and my wife.
Congratulations on safely arriving into your third trimester! I cannot tell you enough how much joy that brings me. The world needs more children coming from healthy, happy homes. And though we have lost ours, I will never use that as an excuse to not love your, or anybody else's, pregnancy. I am happy for you and your husband! May God deliver you through your last trimester, and deliver a healthy baby for y'all to lose sleep over :)
We are doing okay. This has been the worst year of our lives. We have been giving all our pain and anxieties to God. His love and grace have blessed us this summer and now into the fall. Wifey is probably worse off than I have been, which is understandable. She feels great pain still when she sees other babies and families having good times. I understand that. I bet the holidays will be tough, but we have picked up our cross and followed Him.
We are trying again to get pregnant. I bet it will happen soon, and I have been praying that when it does, everything will go well. If it doesn't, that's okay. God never promised our lives would be great fun or absent pain. He promised He would deliver us through this life, because He sent Jesus to die for our sins. I pray every day that Jesus comes back soon so that He can wipe away every tear.
In any case, life beyond the pregnancy sadness is going smoothly. I just submitted another research paper for publication (I would link it here, but I do not want to be doxxed). I lost so much time because of our first loss. I totally lost my mind for a few months and was worried I would never be able to think straight again. Wife started teaching at a brand new high school and is working her butt off (they are making her teach in person and online, simultaneously -- so you can imagine how that is going, haha). We are blessed and grateful to not have lost our jobs, however. Hopefully, this government tyranny will end soon.
It is finally cooling off here in Texas, so my mood has improved. The summer was brutal and the commie local government here put giant fences around all the river parks. We could all be up in each other's business at the grocery store, but could not enjoy the cool river. Peak clown world.
Beyond that, our chickens are producing one egg per day each, so we are eating well in the mornings. Our friends are supportive and loving. Our church is open again. I am grateful that I am healthy and mentally strong enough to continue my work.
How are y'all doing?
