Crazylady - Welcome!! Haha, test when you like! :)
AFM - I got my MaterniT21 results. It's a boy. The good news is, his chromosomes are healthy, so obviously, I am happy about that. Not that I was shocked to hear boy, I wasn't. I am still devastated, though. I really, truly believed that God had promised me a daughter. Those of you who believe, may understand...those of you who don't, well, I completely understand you thinking, "Why in the world would you think something so crazy??" Because it does seem crazy. Especially now. But, there is some history there in what I believe was God's promise to me...started before I got pg with DS3. I had a miscarriage after 8 months of trying...shortly after, I saw a very vivid rainbow. Immediately felt in my heart that God was communicating with me that I wasn't going to have another miscarriage. I can't explain it...I just knew. Saw another very vivid rainbow a few days later. Again, immediately felt that God was saying I was going to get pg very soon. Saw another one a few days after that...felt that God was saying I would have a girl. The first two came true...got pg the next cycle, didn't have a miscarriage. The third one, obviously did not. Fast forward to when we started considering TTC#4. Started seeing lots of rainbows. Began to think...ok, I think maybe now we're going to have a daughter. If you've read my sway, you'll see all the other rainbow connections (saw one on conception day!), including the name we had picked for a girl...it seemed to really be God speaking to me. So, truth be told, I didn't even consider the fact that we could have another boy, until AFTER we were pg! I even bought nice pink girly bedding before I knew we were pg. So, yeah, that's why I'm devastated. I just don't understand how I could have made all that up in my head.
I had told DH about all the rainbow stuff from the very beginning, so he was well aware of it. Prayed with me that this would be a girl, etc., etc. We had a good, long talk tonight about it all. He, amazingly, fully believes that I am not crazy. That we will have a daughter. Said he doesn't know how it will happen or when, but that it will happen. He basically said money is no object, because who is he to stand in the way of God fulfilling His promise to me? OMG, I just cannot believe that he is so open and willing. I had mentioned to him before that I would not do this without a guarantee...and I won't. Too much heartache. So that leaves either adoption or HT. I am open to both. Of course, as I mentioned before, I don't know how in the world I'm going to handle 4 boys, so having a 5th child is beyond my realm of comprehension! But anyway, I married an amazing man, is all I can say. He even said that he thinks we should keep the pink bedding! I am trying to wrap my head around it all.
Ok. Enough talking about myself. At least now I know. And I am so happy that he's healthy. I am crossing my fingers for all of you who don't know yet that you are blessed with your beautiful little girls! Can't wait to hear all the upcoming news!
rainbow, congratulations on your healthy boy. Im so sorry it wasn't your rainbow girl. xxxx
I'm sorry you didn't hear pink my rainbowgirl. I can understand completely how difficult this is for you after having all your hopes on a daughter. How are you today? DH sounds like a saint. How has taken the news? We're all here for you... :hugs:
