"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Thank you God! Oh my gosh!" While I was pacing the floor and crying after looking at a home pregnancy test, that after years of negative results, it finally said positive, these were the only words that I could get out of my mouth! Let me just say that even though that was a week ago (yes, very early pregnancy announcement) I am still in shock and find myself saying those exact words over and over again!
Let me begin with our baby story! :-) So I would love to leave out the beginning of our story....where JD purchased two pregnancy tests that would give you the positive sign + or the negative -. Well, I took the first test and I swore that I could see the + sign. I asked JD and he gave me a pat on the back and told me that I was really looking for it way too hard...that he didn't see it. (Well this was just JD trying to protect me because he himself admits that he did see it a little bit) So, I went to bed thinking "Nuts!" I prayed that night to just start my period or to let the + sign be really distinctive! So the next morning I woke up and took the same test and it came up with the same response, a slight + sign that JD had said probably had been sitting there too long and that is why we slightly saw the + sign. We then left it at that and left for Hannah's regional games, but how could I leave that out...I mean doesn't that just sound like us?!
So now for the fun stuff: On Sunday afternoon JD came home with what I call a test for dummies -- it would show the result as a Yes or a No! So JD dropped off the test and left! Yes, he left! I think he was nervous. So as I sat waiting on the response I pictured myself having to tell him that I wasn't pregnant..(previously in our journey of having a child, JD would always receive the blood test results from our doctor and then tell me the news...which was always very hard for him). So I was very nervous!! But of course.....I got to announce the good news!! So after 4 home pregnancy test (yes, I took another one the next morning just to make sure I got another YES!) and 3 blood tests.........this girl is pregnant!
So, I have my ultrasound on Thursday and if my due date is correct it is October 22nd, Hannah's Birthday!! (I know.....it couldn't be more perfect!)
Enjoying My Moment and Continuing To Pray,
Crystal
