Is It A Boy Or A Girl?

November 15, 2006

by Housewife4Palestine


For the next two weeks if my posting seems a little erratic, it is because the doctor advices me to take it easy, while in some ways my health seems to be getting better there is also other things with my health going on.

I have always been a puzzle when it comes to going to the doctor and I say this with a little chuckle.

I have never heard of having all the symptoms of having a baby and the usual tests keep coming out not conclusive, also their seems to be a possible problem with my liver.

Therefore, for the next week, no medicine and then another test. Also, I’m suppose to take it easy for two weeks until hopefully the doctor can understand what is really going on.

I say this with a lot of hope in my heart that Inshaallah (God willing) we will have a new happiness in our household, whether it is a boy or a girl. While I am not a spring chicken by any means, it is amazing to me for a woman as old as I am to maybe having a baby.

Moreover, while I do hope this to be true for their will be seven children in our family instead of six.

If it turns out to be something else, I do hope the doctor can find a way to make everything all right again.

So please be patient with me and inshaallah all will be right with the world again.

You sound like you deserve some rest, and please tell us how it's going, I am like the rest of your readers hoping for some good news! If God wants to give you even one more, that is just great! But you already are blessed with so many children!:-)

Take good care!

Merete,

Thank you so much for you kindness, I never thought when I wrote this the dear people that would come foreward with concern and happiness for me.

And I am so very touch by everyone's kindness, especially you these days because it seems from what I read on your page we have a lot of views in common.

I Hope I can explain what I am going to tell you correctly, I am my husband’s second wife; he no longer has a first wife.

When I married him, he was a father of six children and me being now his wife the children are mine as though I was the birth mother and they treat me as such.

For in Islam, there is no such thing as a step-mother.

Moreover, in my heart I feel the same about these children.

Therefore, you see if Allah decides I will have a child it will be the first for my husband and me.

If I am pregnant and it is almost a unanimous vote that I am, just for some reason the usual factors that show up when you take a pregnancy test is not showing up and it is a big puzzle for my doctor. What has the doctor even more puzzled is with a stethoscope he could hear he said a baby.

It made me smile because a few nights before I had been suffering with the strangest kind of stomach ache, kind of part gas and just uncomfortable, my husband in his wisdom listened to my stomach with his ear and he thought he heard a baby, he said the baby was kicking me is why I felt that way.

I will admit I have prayed for sometime for their to be a new addition to our family, for I do agree we have been very blessed with six of the most beautiful children Allah could ever bestow on one family. And my husband with his over whelming joy of the possibility, is hoping for twins.

I have been asked how far along I may be and to answer this has not been determined by the doctor, myself I can only guess by my weight gain and my size if you know what I mean. Like I told a friend today, I feel like I am as big as the side of a large house.

As for my liver condition, I am to take another test next week along with another pregnancy test and in two weeks I hope all the information is good.

I have never had to take it easy before like a rare piece of glass vase, hoping it doesn't break; but here I am.

As for keeping in touch with my progress, I will do my best. :D

Thanks for filling me in so much :-) I can truly understand the wish you have of having your own child even though you already are the lucky mum of 6 children! It's just a miracle when it happens to you...

Me and my husband tried for two years (really hard!!) before I finally got pregnant with our beautiful daughter. We were just thrilled when she came to us, so perfect and cute, a true gift from God. And then when we didn't expect anything God blessed us again with our gorgeous son :-)

Ha ha, and my husband was just like yours really optimistic and thought it would be twins also, of course it would be two BOYS!

So are you pregnant, you've probably been to the doctor again now?

My cousin from Norway just called me yesterday, she just took a test that was negative, but when she took another test at the doctor it was positive so she is expecting too!

Ooooh, I really hope for good news, and if yes, you indeed are pregnant, when is the baby coming then?

I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Merete,

Thank you so much for sharing with me about your beautiful daughter. This made me as happy as I know you were when she arrived.

As for you cousin, I can feel for her because it seems inshaallah we are in the same shoes. I really hope she has a healthy happy baby and this makes me happy too.

I took the second blood test Wednesday and will know nothing until next Wednesday when I go to the doctor again.

Two sisters has suggested the other day when I was shopping for new Abaya’s because they seem to be the most comfort when I have to be outside. Anything like elastic or belts and my stomach complains. Lol But any way the two sister’s suggested to me to insist no matter how the test turns out to have the doctor take and ultrasound. I admit I have to agree, because this would be a sure way to see the baby or not.

I laughed when your husband wished twins like mine and it always has to be boys. :D Well you know the saying, a first son you know Allah blesses the marriage.

My husband has a name for one son and if it turns out to be a daughter, I wish to name her after his mother because she has such a beautiful name.

I almost wish I could hold you hand when we get the news so you could share with me because what I do know of you I think we would be very good friends. In addition, thank you for keeping you are finger’s crossed for our luck. :D

The reason everything may seem so slow these days on my page is because I get tired easy just like it is a boy. Lol My Mother use to say if it is a boy, you will be tired the whole time. If it is a girl, you will be radiant like the sun and full of energy, well I am tired so I guess it is the boy. As I told my husband, I sleep so much that you would think I have sleeping sickness and he said good because he knows I am taking care of myself.

As for when the baby would be due, my guess is April because of when I first noticed my condition. The first doctor I went to should not even have tended horses with his way of treating patients.

The doctor I have now seems like a better doctor so far at least he is trying. He has such an overload of patients, I really feel for him. The first time I went there, he had so many, people that the waiting room was full and they was sitting or standing outside too.
