Journal Treebeard the Ent's Journal: I Never Thought I'd Make This Announcement 2

So I'm at my office yesterday, and at about 11:50 I return to my desk from a meeting. I notice that I have a voice mail from about 5 minutes before I had returned. I check it, and it was a hang up. Only one person I know ever hangs up on my voice mail, so I proceed to call my wife.

She sounded like she had been crying, and I thought to my self, "Oh my, someone has died, or someone is really sick." She then tells me that she had taken a pregnancy test and it came up POSITIVE!!!

This is awesome news in and of itself, but to sweeten the deal:
6 months ago, my wife was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (aka PCOS). She was told, more than likely, due to how severe her case was, we would never have childeren. If we did we would have to be on some expensive & powerful fertility drugs (not covered by insurance). They put her on several medications, one of which being birth control. After 6 months, they doctor said her ovaries have amazing improvements, and that she could go off birth control (which was making her lose her hair). We were told we could start trying to get pregnant when ever. We didn't want to get pregnant right away (trying to buy a house), but we didn't take precautions to prevent it. We always said since we got married (4 1/2 years), that we would get pregnant in God's timing.

This is yet another miricle God has bless me and my wife with, and I have been thanking Him every hour^H^H^H^Hminute since.

I Never Thought I'd Make This Announcement

  • We did the same thing with Joey (didn't do birth control, and just said we'd have a baby whenever He wanted us to).

    Make sure your wife takes it easy. You got 3 rough months to go through before you can really get excited about everything.

    Best of luck to both of you :-)
  • That is great news! Congratulations!

    As far as the birth control goes, I didn't know those had side effects like loosing hair! That must be a powerfull drug.

An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
