A Thanksgiving Surprise!!!!!


God has answered our prayers and has blessed us with a miracle...we are pregnant!!! Thanksgiving morning, I took a digital test, and I really thought it was going to say "not pregnant." I placed the test on the nightstand, and my heart was beating so fast as I watched the hour glass flash on the test. All of a sudden, it was there...it said "Pregnant." My heart started to race even more as I turned over to look at Shaun next to me in bed. I don't think I could get a word out, and I was shaking like crazy. We could not believe our eyes. We couldn't even cry any tears because we were both so shocked. We prayed together and thanked God over and over for blessing us. I've taken like eight tests this weekend, and it is still hard to believe that I'm pregnant. My nurse called me with my first beta draw at lunch, and it was 122 (today is 14 DPIUI). Tonight was the first time I've cried...it was a mixture between laughing and sobbing at the same time because it is just starting to feel real. When I came home tonight, there was a big box wrapped in baby paper on the coffee table. In the box was the sweetest present I have ever gotten from my hubby...an incredibly soft pink plush blanket and pillow. Shaun said that he got it for me for my pregnancy couch rest...too cute. I'm walking around like I'm in a dream similar to how I felt on my wedding day. We know that we still have a long way to go especially with our history, but we have decided to celebrate each day that God has given us with our baby.

Oh my goodness! This news put tears in my eyes! I am so unbelievably excited for you! I told you it would happen!!!!! But, tell daddy-to-be he may be needing to buy a blue blanket just in case....(and a confession i must make. I took a test every week for my first 12 weeks! There is something so comforting about seeing 2 lines.)

Congratulations.I found your blog on another blogger's page and I've been reading about some of your journey. I'm on month 3 of my TTC journey with clomid and waiting on BW to perhaps confirm PCOS even though I'm healthy weight- i have the irregular cycles and pearl necklace ovaries. Your story was an inspriation! I have really enjoyed reading it and learning. I hope you have a calm and wonderful 9months!!
