I have been debating about whether or not to share this.
But if there's one thing about me.... I don't keep things inside!
I feel like I will explode. Like the information
is itching it's way out until I have to share!
So it all started about 2 months ago when I had a miscarriage.
During the ultra sound in the E.R. they found a dermoid cyst
on my one and only remaining ovary. (My other ovary was already
removed after being destroyed by the same kind of cyst.)
I was informed 5 wks ago, at a follow up appointment with my O.B
that the cyst would be slow growing and eventually destroy
my ovary and that it was impossible to remove and if attempted,
I would loose my ovary.
I informed her that my family was not complete.
She said that only I would know that and so pledged to help me
get pregnant and have one more baby.
To say I was emotional and heart broken would be correct.
I know I am blessed to have 2 children and a possible 3rd.
But to be told you are finished is hard.
I felt like a precious choice was taken from me.
So fertility was in full swing as I have been wanting another baby for a year now.
But God is good and his works mysterious.
I AM PREGNANT!
All on my own!
And I am sicker than a dog,
so I know this baby is here to stay.
So, if I am not myself, or you don't see me about.
Or worse yet, you happen to see me and I look like I got hit by a train..... I did, and I'm not.
But to say I am grateful beyond description is an understatement.
I feel that to try would be folly.
All I know is that the Lord knows all!
I am so excited for this new person who will come to our home around Christmas time.
It will be our Christmas miracle!

Lisa thank you for sharing so much detail about your experience. I have a sister in-law coincidently named Lisa AND she is an awesome hairdresser, who only has one ovary due to an ectopic pregnancy. I KNOW there is a child in store for her someday but in the lords time and it just gives hope to hear a story about a miracle baby. Congratulations!
oh Lisa. This is such wonderful news! I am so happy you are sick if that means you are pregnant. I am so so so so happy. I am praying for a girl. :)
How nervous...Samantha has had a lot of miscarriages and the pregnancies for us are like holding our breath for 9 months. We just got our third and can finally breath. It's neat when you have that feeling that things will be okay. You can do it_A
Yippee!! I've been hoping to see this post for awhile now. I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage though.
So, do you still have your cyst? Are they going to do the same thing as they did when you were pregnant with Isaac?
Take it easy, and don't worry that your boys are probably doing nothing but watching tv and eating mac n cheese (or cereal). They'll live and probably love it too. :) I'm just saying what I had to do to get through the sickness part anyway. Love you!!!
This news makes me so happy! I want to hear all about it and I would love to have you over so you can be sick on my couch and we can talk. Let me know if you want to!
YIPEEE!!! Oh I am so very happy for you...miracles happen and who knows what might happen with the cyst?? Here I am 3 kids later after being told I'd never have another. Would love to chat more about it sometime :)
We are so excited for you and your family and we will be sure to keep you and your growing baby in our prayers.
Congrats you guys! We're so thrilled for you.
