Arhh choo!!

It had been raining on and off a few days back. In between battling morning sickness and constant fatigue, I now have to battle the FLU. I must have gotten myself sick when I got caught in the rain last Saturday. It was raining heavily and I got wet.

Now I am sleepy, flu-ey and really grouchy. I'm probably just going through a really rough patch of this pregnancy, but I am still thankful I get to enjoy this process. I know I shouldn't complain, because if I compare myself to someone who has been trying for a baby for a long time, I am waaaay luckier than them. It's just that I didn't know pregnancy could be this difficult, especially when you are carrying twins. I am just really glad that my hormones seem to have decided to work out among themselves and I am beginning to feel less bloated and miserable. I am still breaking out and so can't wait to see the doctor on Monday and ask him for medication for the pimples. I am also wondering if there's still a need for me to continue with the Progesterone, so we'll see how that goes.

In between receiving good news from friends and forum mates that they are pregnant, I am also seeing the failures of some friends and forum mates. To you guys, I just wanna tell you this, "Don't ever give up. So you fail once, you try again. You fail a second time, you try again. You keep trying till you finally have your baby in your arms and you don't give up. Nobody said this journey is easy. But if having a baby is what you really want, don't let your past failures put you down. Chin up, prep your body better and keep trying. You try till the point where the doctors say there's nothing more they can do for you, and even then, try naturally. While trying, keep praying and believing. Practise affirmations, telling yourself that you will be pregnant." Picture yourself holding a beautiful baby. You'll be surprised how our minds work.

I leave you with this today,

Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you. Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. - Psalm 37:5,7

Shalom my friends,

J.
