Me and Jada
Hi! My real name is Caralyn. I am 28 years old and live in
Florida. I have been married for almost 3 years and have a
beautiful baby girl named Jada Danielle.....
January 1996 I had a goal...my goal was to become pregnant
by the end of the year. I thought it would be a piece of
cake, I
mean everyone else around me was having babies like crazy.
Wrong...each month I would meet "Aunt Flow" without open
arms. By September 1996, I was beginning to panic until I
became 11 days late on my period. When I took a home
pregnancy test it was negative. Eight days later, with
still no menstrual cycle I went to the doctors..maybe I did
the test wrong. Sadly, they confirmed the test to be
negative. The next day I got my period and I cried harder
than I ever had before. When you want a baby that is all
you think about...it consumes your every thought all day
and especially at night...Will she have my eyes? I would
think or will he have my husbands jet black hair? Why
couldnt I get pregnant? Wasn't I a good person, didnt I
deserve a "Gift from God"? Christmas 1996 was very sad. I
had no Christmas baby and I didnt accomplish my goal! Even
diaper commercials made me sad. After many nights of
prayers and crying I decided to give up "trying". January
1997 I was 11 days late on my menstrual cycle again. Big
deal I thought..must be stress. I was so nauseous I couldnt
stand it...stomach flu I thought. "Nonsense", my mom
said..."you are pregnant..take a test". So I did,
especially to prove my mom wrong, and it came back positve.
I couldnt believe it! I sent my poor husband back to the
store and made him buy 4 more tests to be sure. Positive,
positive, positive. Still didnt believe it....went to
doctors and this time they confirmed happily yes it was
positive and I was 6 weeks pregnant. So you see, I am a
stubborn Taurus...I did accomplish my goal. I did get
pregnant by the end of 1996 and I would have my Christmas
baby after all.....God did bless me....He answered my
prayers and gave me the gift of life, a soul, an angel from
above. Jada Danielle born September 24, 1997 at
2:19 a.m.....mommy's little angel.
