Two Lines

EQUALS

Two weeks of a blogging hiatus. (and surely more)

Two years of waiting.

Two man hands making dinner every night.

Two hundred dollars in groceries that dad can cook.

Two swollen and sore female body parts.

Two more months of puking to look forward to.

Two wishes for twins.

Too old for this.

Too long before he will touch me again.

And two HUGE shout outs for all your prayers.


I had a miscarriage at nine weeks last Spring
and so I hesitate to announce this.
But my readers have been worried,
and you know I will do anything for my readers.
I just couldn't leave them worried that The Purple People Eater ate me up.
(although his party put me out of commission for a good 24 hours afterward)
And, to tell you the truth, I wasn't this sick last time.
And it's just too much energy to hide it.
So, if it doesn't work out,
you are all invited to mourn with me.
But, for now, be happy that you don't got two lines!
It ain't fun in the beginning.
I'll keep you posted.

You and LG and the Girls and THE BABE will be in our prayers. Hugs!

  9. HOORAY!

    For you, and because I don't have to keep a secret. I've been dying inside all day.

    And hey, I offer this to everyone but no one's taken me up on it yet...I've got vials of liquid zofran in my fridge. Granted, it's 20 months old and you have to inject it into your bloodstream, but don't complain. It's too expensive to throw away.

    Only the best for you, Ali.

    You and your sweet little baby are in my prayers. And you're not too old yet - I just had one and I'm even older than you! :)

    I'm sorry you are sick...but don't they say that's a good sign?

  16. Shock & Awe!
    Not because you are a prego... but because I had NO clue... well I have been clueless most of my life.
    Congratulations! I am sorry about the sick thing... my sister is going through what she calls... 'all day sickness' she would love to just have morning sickness. NO wonder you haven't blogged... I thought you fell off the blogosphere... I e.mailed a couple times... no answer? I am so happy for you all.

    Oh my goodness!!!! I am so excited for you! I bet this one is a boy. I am sorry to hear that you're sick, though. I'm not going to tell you that there's anything that will fix that or make it go away because thinking like that only made it more frustrating for me. I will, however, help with kids, or send some husband-friendly recipes over!!!! Really, I would love to help. I've got the energy for it! Congrats!!!!

  28. Congratulations!! Take it one day at a time. Take some real ginger for the nausea. There is a ginger called Reed's Ginger Ale that has real ginger in it! It's wonderful. Remember to drink lots of water and get lots of rest. Take care of yourself and RELAX!! Be strong!
    I love and miss you my friend!

  39. HOORAY!!!! I send my congratulations and my condolences on being pregnant! I love babies, but I hate being pregnant!

    Twins, really? I always wanted to have twins... until I had one baby. Then I decided I prefer them one at a time. :) But twins are soooo cute so I wish them for you too!

    So sorry you're sick! Oh and I really enjoyed your clever and fun way of announcing that you're expecting!!!

  44. Congratulations! Zofran is a miracle drug. I had to give my shout out for the one medication I promote. Cali is a true friend to offer you her sacred medicine. I still have some, but I'm not sharing. Sorry! J/K I pray for you all the best & healthier days ahead. Remember you ARE a SUPERmom...you can do this!
