Following up on the pregnancy saga that most of you cyber witnessed a couple of years ago I just thought I would update you all on the outcome.

First my son Tyler, wife Ang and myself are all fine. We're in good shape, but are a little upset.

Since Ang had all the issues with the pregnancy we were left wondering if we would be able to have any more kids. Both of us always wanted 2 or 3 and we found out on Wednesday that the chances of a successful pregnancy were very low. The OB assured us they could probably get us through it, but the misery involved for us- particularly my wife would be pretty high. So we're not going to pursue it due to the risk. I'll count my blessings and move forward.

She'll likely have a robotic, full hysterectomy this summer. We'll consider adopting when the time comes, but this is just not how I wanted this to go.

I do have a question and perhaps it's my brain just trying to evaluate every option- but with regard to faith in God do I trust that he has given us a wonderful doctor who we trust completely and take heed his warning, or do we rely primarily on God to get us through it regardless of what lies ahead of us?

I don't want to seem as though I don't have faith in God to get us through anything and everything according to his will, but part of me says that part of his plan is the doctor's warning.

Thoughts?

Life throws us all difficult situations. Although raising your own offspring is rewarding, there is something noble about those who adopt and are good parents. If the risk of the pregnancy isn't worth the hell it would put on your wife, I would call it good with one kid or adopt. It sounds as if you have already decided what to do and just need a third party to vent to.

I'm hardly someone to respond concerning what you should do... however, I follow my heart and it's taken time to trust my intuition.

and regardless of the outcome, it's ridiculous to second guess myself.

if trusting your doctor feels best, go with that. if not, try again.

and the answers don't have to come tomorrow.

My cousin and his wife were in the same boat your in now. They had their first born and healthy girl 6 years ago. I don't know what their whole process was after that...but they now have a healthy baby boy almost 1 year old. I think my cousin and his wife are both in their late 30's.

But like i said, I don't know or ask the whole story behind it all.

Hope this gives you some hope and a little release from what the doc said. Given my cousin's story, don't rush to conclusions if you dont have to.

Is there a way to get a second opinion from another doc?

We have had 2 miscarriages, but also 2 live births. The doc said it will be hit or miss with us, because my ol lady has a tilted cervix. Its a weird situation like being left handed. At least thats how he explained it to us at the time of the miscarriage.

Put your faith in God JOAT...he does things for a reason.

I'd go with a 2nd opinion too, can't be too safe.

if that opinion is the same, consider this, you have a healthy son and that's way more than lots of couples get.

I'd honestly be all over looking to adopt if it were me in your shoes, but at 43, it's not something I would consider anymore.

That is the nicest thing you have ever said on the huddle.

A guy I work with went there to haiti. Went with a church mission to build beds for an orphanage that got destroyed. Pretty hopeless out there.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
