A Twin Is Having Twins!

I have been so sick that I haven't been able to blog. The Kim Twin is having twins! This may just be the miracle I've been waiting for. I have always pictured myself as a mother of 4. We had our son in 98 and our daughter 26 months later. We immediately (really, she was only 3 months old) tried to get pregnant with #3 because I wanted to have my 4th by the time my oldest was in kindergarten. That was THE PLAN. Well, 4 years later and a ton of clomid later, nothing. We were told we couldn't get pregnant, I had no progesterone in my body. They called it secondary infertility and we moved forward thankful for the 2 we had. Magically in 05 I became pregnant only to miscarry. In 07 I became pregnant only to miscarry after being DOPED up on progesterone. We were then told NOT to get pregnant. "Your body will not accept progesterone and you CAN NOT sustain a pregnancy." Well, 13 months later, I am pregnant. We are praying hard. At first I was very nervous and felt I was doomed for a 3rd miscarriage, all the while praying and wishing. Once I heard it was twins I immediately thought "Ah, God is rewarding me for my patience and all those painful memories will have a happy ending!!!"

So, here I am, 8 weeks pregnant....feeling hopeful, taking progesterone which is awful, feeling like I need a million prayers, feeling as sick as a woman can feel, praying I stay sick since that means I'm still pregnant & praying Spring comes quick and I see 20 little beautiful toes.

I am sorry you are so sick!! But, happy for you too! We were devastated when we found out we could not have any more children. So, I know what an incredible blessing this is for you! You'll be in our prayers! We can't wait to see pictures of the new beautiful babies this spring!!!

Hi Wendy...well a doctor told me I couldn't have kids but I pray that God is proving them wrong. Wonder if God will prove yours wrong as well? :) Thank you for your prayers!!!

I am feeling the same sickness. I just found out last week that I'm having twins and the morning sickness(all day sickness)is awful. I am going into my 9th week, and I'm due in April.
I have learned lately to eat....ALL DAY. Small stuff like saltines, trail mix, and dry cereal between meals. I'm terrified of gaining too much weight but I've learned if I go too long with out eating I get sick!
I just wanted to let you know that here in Augusta, you are not alone. I too am having child 3 & 4 and feeling...ugh...awful. I will be praying for you. Please say one for me that God will provide a way for us to afford these two babies!!
