Up and Down

That's basically where our emotions are these days...up and down. It has been an eventful few days which started Thursday afternoon. After leaving work and picking up Karis, I took a quick pregnancy test since I was a few days late. Two tests quickly came out positive. Dee and I spent the next few days in shock, talking about this huge unexpected change in our family! Yet we were excited though amazed at the reality of this. We were trying to get time with my parents to deliver the news on Sunday. That afternoon, I started what I believed was the beginning of a miscarriage. Yesterday at the doctor, they agreed with me and said it was probably what they call a "chemical pregnancy". It's basically where fertilization happens but implantation does not and your body expels it just like a normal cycle.
So I've basically had a normal monthly experience, just heavier and a little more painful. We're doing ok and have had lots of love and prayers from the few who knew. I don't know if we've really processed all this. I've been keeping myself busy. The Lord is faithful. I do know that.

Oh Stacey! I so COMPLETELY know what you're going through! I can say that God is so very faithful! I pray He will give you both the peace that only He can give. I will try to call you later this afternoon.

BTW...I LOATHE the term "chemical pregnancy". We know there is no such thing. This baby may not have implanted, but it was a baby...not some blob of hormones and cells! Sorry...just my little rant! :-)

We will be praying for you guys over this as God brings you to our hearts and minds- that His peace that passes understanding will flood you both during this difficult time. Love to you both!
