The Eve of a Miracle

Tomorrow is my son's 18th birthday. If you know me at all you know he is the apple of my eye. He is what has kept me sane and going in this life.

We had tried to get pregnant for 2 years with no luck. I had had to have part of an ovary removed in emergency surgery before I was married. The doctor told me I would never get pregnant with out fertility meds so we didn't worry about protection or anything. My husband had just lost his job and changed to another. We had our house for sale because of the pay cut he took we were loosing the house any way.

At the worst possible time or so we thought we got news that I was pregnant. We were homeless and I was going to have a baby. I went for my first ultra sound and there was no heart beat, they thought my little miracle had died. He told me to come back in two weeks and if he was I would miss carry and if he was alive then I should hear the heartbeat next time. I remember driving to the house we had sold and was packing up to put our stuff in storage and I remember praying that he could not take my baby to be . I told God he gave it to me and he could not take him away. I went by a clock on a bank and the time was 5:24 but I read it as May 24th.

Two weeks later we go for the ultra sound and he was alive they had just miss calculated my conception date. My due day.. May 24th.

When I was 21 weeks pregnant my husband was transfered to FT Pierce florida. I had to get out and graze every two hours as I drove our pick up and some of our belongings to Florida this was a mixed blessing. The past three months we had been living between his mom's and his grandmother's so we would have a home again, but I am pregnant with my first child and moving to a strange state and town and I was scared to .

I had a nervous breakdown while pregnant with my son, due to the change, being pregnant, being homeless and hubby's first affair. God let me hold on to my little baby though and how he survived all that stress is only a huge miracle. Tomorrow my miracle turns 18.

    I can relate to your story too. I was married and had a daughter who was about seven and just found out that my husband was having an affair or several affairs..Working two jobs to make it work with finances. I wanted out of the marriage because after ten years I had had the more I could take. He my husband convienced me that if I would have another baby and it was a boy it would make everything ok , because that is all he ever wanted was a son. Well, I believed him and stopped taking the pill and was pj the next month and after a few months they told us it was a boy. I had knew that God answered my prayers because I didn't really want a divorce, because it was against my believes. So I thanked God for giving me the son that would straighten out my husband. ha. Well, after Mark was born, and he was ten months old I walked in my girlfriends house and caught him and her in bed. Well , that really worked to save the marriage. I was mad at God for so long because he let me down I thought. Now I know the truth. But the next year I found out I had cancer at 26 and had my girl and boy. If I hadn't had them so young I would have missed the greatest joy in life that a mother can have. My baby boy is 37 going on38 and a turned out to be a wonderful father and husband. The only drawback is he lives in Germany and has told me Mom, it didn't matter if I didn't have a father, because in my life you gave me enough love that was a mothers love and a fathers love. God blessed me and today I too, have a apple in my eye. Good luck sweetheart and it s neat that we can share our good things in life and try to forget the bad. Love, Mandy
