A Baby On The Way ...

Yes you see it right! I'm expecting!
I just wanted to share with those of you who keep up with my blog my exciting news & how we found out :)


My mother when she was age had ovarian cancer & had some other issues. I was so positive that I was NOT pregnant that it was something else.

After work one day me & my wonderful husband brian went to the CVS, I just wanted to rule out pregnancy so I could move on to another answer. I took the first test around 3 p.m. in the day. Which those of you who have ever been pregnant know that is always best to test EARLY in the morning because the HCG is not as strong in the afternoon & can sometimes give you a false negative. Well I knew this but I took it anyways.

We waited  ... the FULL 2 minutes LOL. Even though sometimes it shows up instantly.

We both at the same time saw the + sign in the window ... It was SHEER shock.. I was so sure I was right.
I mean how did this slip by me? How could I have not known lol.

I was in such shock, I started laughing ... then the tears came. But they were tears of joy -- it was sheer happiness. I can't describe that feeling you get when you first learn about your pregnancy.

I was kind of in disbelief so I decided to take another test about 2 hours later. As soon as I took it I looked at it. It was positive.

I made a doctors appointment right then, because I wanted to confirm it for sure.

The following day I went to the doctors & it was confirmed, I was in fact pregnant & I my expected due date was August 30th 2011.

A lot runs through your mind when you learn about pregnancy. You start thinking of names :) Which I must say is so much fun. You start thinking of nursery ideas & themes. You start noticing a lot of things about your body, that you would normally dismiss.

You start thinking of what kind of parent you will be. What your child will look like... Tons of things are running through your mind. It's just a wonderful feeling & thing to get to experience.

This was DEF unplanned & was a surprise -- but the BEST gift the Lord has ever given me & I feel more blessed than I ever have. I have the GREATEST husband, a blessing on the way, great family & AWESOME friends. A relationship with God that makes all this possible. What more could I ask for?

Thank You, Jesus!
