The 3rd time is the charm!!!! This cycle has been different from the beginning. I have felt such a peace about this cycle all along and there have been so many signs that God has shown me this cycle that He was going to be true to his word and grant us the desires of our hearts! You know how they say "you just know" when you are pregnant, well I never really understood that but this cycle I just knew I was pregnant! All night Sunday night I dreamed I was pregnant so on Monday morning March 31, 2014 I decided I would take a home pregnancy test. I was waiting for Keith to leave for work so I could take the test. He was taking what seemed like forever to leave and my bladder was about to explode.... I mean I was literally in pain! He finally exits the bedroom and I pretended to be asleep and I got up and went to the bathroom and I pee'd on that stick. I looked down and immediately a second line appeared and it was not faint or light either. There was a real pink line present! OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH I shouted! There is a second line there! I said "Thank you Jesus" like 6 times and then busted out crying and immediately starting praying over those embryos inside me to stay with me and grow grow grow! My dogs came running in the bathroom all excited, it's like they knew! Haha! I heard Keith's car on in the driveway and then heard him drive away. I thought there is no way I can go all day without telling him and he would die if I told him over the phone again. So, I sent him a text and said "Come back, you forgot something here." When he walked in the front door I said, it's in the bedroom and when he walked in our room I handed him a onesie that said "9 months till the spoiling begins" and the positive test and said "I'm pregnant" and I busted out crying again. His eyes lit up so big and the smile on his face was beyond priceless! He immediately hugged me and we held each other for so long and he will deny that he cried but he sooo did and it was so cute! :) I just couldn't believe it, after trying to have a baby for 7 years and a miscarriage 2 years ago, God has given us our miracle!!!! His timing is perfect and his grace overwhelms me! I knew what God had promised me years ago, and I refused to give up because I knew He was going to show up and show out!!!! I had my beta HCG blood test this morning and the number is 332 and my progesterone is 46. Those are super awesome numbers! Makes me think there are 2 in there!!!! I have to go back for another beta HCG blood next Tuesday to make sure the number doubles. I am 4 weeks so it is super super early but I know y'all will continue to pray with us for a healthy baby or babies and that they will grow! We will know if there is 1 or 2 on the first ultrasound. First ultrasound will probably be April 18! Thank you all so much for the prayers, encouragement, and support! It has helped us more than you know! This next chapter has just begun so continue to pray with us for our baby(ies)! I will update every time I go to the doctor! GOD IS SOOOO GOOD and He gets ALL the glory!!!!
