Untimely Pregnancy

Giving birth to a child is a gift, i know it may feel as though you are trapped at the moment but things will get better. It can be harder on your own believe me i know, but as long as you have got your kids and your health everything will be fine. Just remember happiness is the greatest achievment.

Will your husband go to counseling? If you can't afford it there are state programs to help you out. You need to work on the marriage before anything else. How does he feel about the child that's coming, or does he know yet? I know the kind of desperation you feel, and the worry for your children. Things always work out for the best but we can't see that, sometimes for a very long time! If the worst happens, can you move in with some of your family? Have you talked to your pastor if you have one? I'll be praying for you. As well as everything else, you have had your plans for some kind of "me" time squashed and that is a big, big disappointment even if you're thrilled about the new child. Well, look at it this way--it's only another few years then you'll have about 50 more for just you! When my two boys entered school, I enjoyed the time by myself even though I was busier than ever and before I knew it, they were grown up and I was divorced and in another state than they. So don't forget that perspective--they grow so fast!
