Glory to GOD!!!!

How grateful/excited/happy/nervous/giddy/shocked (and the list of emotions could go on forever) I am....

It is official.......that I am preggers!!!

I got my blood taken yesterday and the Dr.'s office was supposed to call me with the results today. But, last night while lying in bed, I came up with the plan to take a HPT this morning just to prepare myself JUST IN CASE it was bad news. I did my usual routine of pee'ing on the stick and waiting for it to say "not pregnant" when low and behold....right before my eyes....it said "PREGNANT"

I truly didn't believe what I was seeing....so, I immediately went into the bedroom and turned on the lamp to awake my sleeping husband. It probably wasn't the most gentle way to wake him up because I just tapped him on the shoulder and with a huge grin on my face said "Here, read this" as I had the test outstretched in his direction. It took him a few moments to wake up and focus enough to read it and then he immediately went into prayer the second it set in. (wow!)

We told ourselves not to get too excited (yeah, right) until we heard the 100 % confirmation from the Dr............. So, at 12:45ish I spoke to the Dr.'s office and the lady told me that she had been trying to get ahold of me...but, that the call wasn't going through. ( I am guessing that is from poor reception and my cell phone being in my desk drawer.) She told me that Dr. Le was jumping up and down this morning when he saw that my results had indeed come back POSITIVE!!

Now, the next step is..... I go to Labcorp again tomorrow to get my blood drawn. I will call the Dr. on Saturday to get the results to see if my hormone levels are doubling like they are supposed to. I have FULL FAITH that they will be doubling and everything will be just perfect!

I have officially broke the news to my Dad, Deb, Kevin, Brandi, Nana and Papa, Grandma and Grandpa, my Aunt Debbie, and all of my friends. Everyone is so excited for both David and I. :-)

Now my prayers have changed....instead of praying for God to bless us with a baby.... I am now praying that it is a 100% healthy pregnancy/baby! :-) God is so GOOD!!!!!! (the word "good" doesn't actually even begin to describe Him) He gets ALL the glory for this one! :-)

When I told Dad the good news.... I gave him a Willowtree figurine that says "Grandfather" even though he will actually be called "Grampy" I also printed out the picture of the pregnancy test for him to see! :-)

Well, I just wanted to post the good news....that this day....September 8, 2011.... is one of the happiest days of my life. What an answer to MANY, MANY, MANY prayers. What a reason to be so utterly thankful..... now, I am hoping to finally get a good night of sleep tonight. (Even though I think I am too excited to actually be able to fall asleep) However, one thing I know for sure..... I will be going to bed with a HUGE smile on my face.

In shock, but so truly blessed....
