Pregnant!!!

It is true! We are having a baby. After trying for only 2 months, we were surprised with a wonderful miracle. Here is our story....

Wesley and I began to get excited because my period is usually a day early, and it still hadn't come, nor did I think it was going to. So we ran out and bought about 10 pregnancy tests ($1 store special). We came home and the first test was negative, no big deal, I have read on numerous baby web sites that it can take a couple days for the HCG (pregnancy hormone) to show up in your urine. So we continued testing, day after day. I began to get a little bit discourage, I thought I was totally pregnant, but the tests were just not telling me, and I still had no period.

Wesley and I had a plan that if we found out we were pregnant we would keep it a secret from our family until Fathers Day. I knew it would be hard, but I thought I would be able to do it. Now we just had to have the positive test! So my period was now a week late, and still nothing. I decided I would call my doctor and get in for a blood test. (Typically they will show up positive days before a home pregnancy test would) This was on the Thursday before Fathers Day, (8 days past period) the nurse told me the results would be in on Monday. Oh no, but we were hoping to tell them on Sunday! We told her our plan and she promised to rush it through. So Friday afternoon I waited anxiously for the results. Negative :( I was pretty sad. How could this be? I just know I am pregnant!!

Wesley and I thought Friday would be the day we would find out. We thought that it would be God's perfect timing because we would only have to keep this a secret for 2 days, and we could do that, right? Sure enough, that wasn't true. So I stopped taking my pregnancy tests and just knew the Lord had a plan for when we would start a family, and this may not be the right time.

Saturday night we went out and bought my dad a gift for Fathers Day because we knew that our original plan would no longer be the gift. Sunday morning I woke up early to get ready for breakfast with our family. I turned to Wesley, who was still sleeping, and I asked if I should try to take just one more test. I hadn't tested since Thursday. He said, why not babe, we still have a few left. So I proceeded to take the test. I sat and stared at it with my sleepy eyes for about a minute, when all of a sudden I noticed a faint line beginning to appear. Could it be true?! I shouted for Wesley to come and tell me if he could see the line. Wes sleepily walked in and said, yep babe, that looks positive to me, but to make sure, lets take one of the digital tests, the ones we had been saving for a time like this. The funny thing was, now I didn't have to pee any more. So I sat there just waiting, Wesley had the water running on the sink, and I managed to barely take the test. We sat it on the counter and began waiting, I walked out of the bathroom to get something when all of a sudden Wesley said "Uh, babe, come here!" I walked in and he said, "you are pregnant"! I screamed and cried and could not believe it! This whole time, I just knew I was pregnant! We were so excited! So we hurried and got all ready for breakfast, snapped a few pictures, and headed out to WalMart to buy a Fathers Day card for Grandpa!










Our plan went exactly how we had hoped. We bought my dad a fun card to Grandpa, he started laughing when he opened it, he thought we were just being silly and getting him a card from Sassy or something. Well we signed on the card, Love Wesley, Moriah, Sassy, and Little Monkey. He of course said, who is little monkey?! We said, Oh, Little Monkey is in the bag. So he opened the bag, and inside was the positive pregnancy test. My dad's face was priceless, and Wesley totally captured it! He was sooo excited!!



Him and my mom both just burst into tears of joy, and my sisters were laughing and crying, and the other people in the restaurant around us began to clap! What a blessed Father's Day for my dad and for Wesley!





So today we think I am about 6 weeks. I have my first doctor appointment tomorrow, so we will find out exactly, and also find out when we are due!

I am so excited, I can not wait until I start to look pregnant, I am thrilled about the big belly I am going to get. Wesley and I pray for our Little Monkey all the time, we are so ready to be parents.
