  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It has been a roller coaster ride. My husband and I were in a good place a few months ago. Both of us had good jobs, we were beginning to save for a house. We thought, why not skip the condoms and see what happens? That week, he lost his job due to wrongful termination and I was informed that my program was being cut for lack of funding. And then I found out I was pregnant. Pregnancy isn’t very kind to my body, but I thought that the timing was perfect. I would be able to get an office job or even just be a sub and make my own schedule so I could focus on the kids and the pregnancy. And then I started bleeding. Not a ton, but I never bled with my boys so I went to the doctor. They said there was nothing they could do at 5 weeks and told me to go home. They said that if the bleeding increases, it was likely a miscarriage. They told me to test again the following week and that if it was positive we would evaluate from there. Otherwise, the pregnancy was over. I tested negative the following week.

I am pregnant again and kind of reeling. My hormone levels are a lot higher this time, if the dark lines are any indication. Husband is working a low wage job, and I’m waiting to hear back about the office job I interviewed for last Friday. I’m kind of having a hard time processing. I believe that I am five weeks along, with a due date of august 22, but that won’t be confirmed until I see my OB January 11. Her nurse thinks I am 10 weeks and that the bleeding in November was an anomaly, but I disagree. I would love it if that was the case, but I don’t believe it is. I’m just hoping to carry to term. I have had two early deliveries and two miscarriages.

I don’t remember the last time I was so tired… my house is a disaster and my children running amok because I have barely the energy to sit upright with eyes open.
