Pregnant!

Wow. I can't even believe how different things are from even just a few weeks ago.

Bryan was in North Carolina for a business trip and I was waiting for my period so I could start a new round of medication. I didn't get a positive ovulation test so we knew that we would have to do another round of Femara and a shot in the stomach to induce ovulation. I was feeling pretty nervous about it, but mostly anxious to be able to get started again. I'm so bad at waiting, even after everything that has gone on over the last year and a hall.

I had taken a pregnancy test earlier that week before Bryan left and it was negative. It was way too early, but I was feeling anxious. Anyway, I took a test right after Bryan took off from Charlotte and completely expected it to be negative. I knew that if I didn't have a positive test or a period by Monday, we would start the medication again. So I took the test and waited the three minutes without looking and it and then I glanced over and was like, "Yup, it's negative....wait a minute.... that looks positive!"

I stared at it for a little, totally disbelieving and then eventually started crying. I immediately knelt by my bed and started praying. I was so so so grateful and also praying that the Lord would protect my heart. I emailed my doctor and she set up a blood test for me. It was actually really cute because I emailed her and told her I was impatient and took a pregnancy test early that came back positive and she emailed me back and was so excited. She was like, "Oh my goodness! I'm so excited! Let's get you that blood test right away! I can't wait to see what it says."

Her reaction made me so excited. I had never met this nurse before so it was cute to get a reaction like that from a complete stranger. I went to Target and bought a different brand of pregnancy test, a baby onesie and a card (just in case ha). I took the second test and it was positive.

And then all I had to do was wait for Bryan to get home. The question in our couple journal that day was "Who are the most important people in your life?" and I wrote in it and said, "Bryan and OUR BABY!"

Waiting for Bryan to get home was literally the worst. I promised Ashley she could be the first to know and even though it was a Thursday and she wouldn't get her emails until Monday, I decided to write her and tell her. So she knew even before Bryan. :)

Bryan finally got home and after giving him a hug and a kiss I casually told him to look at the question for that day. So he read it and did this double take and was like, "Are you serious?" And I started crying and told him I was and he came over and we just hugged and cried for a little.

I took the blood test later that day (Bryan got to come with me and that was really nice) and it came back positive!

I don't think I've ever been so grateful, overwhelmed, excited and anxious all at once. I was leaving the next morning for Utah, but I was so glad to have that day with Bryan and to be able to just be so happy and excited together.
