It's true!!
"While the hourglass was blinking, I was praying. Praying that no matter what the outcome, I would be at peace..but secretly hoping those words would pop up on the screen. It's funny to think now that I was praying while "secretly" hoping..God knows the desires of my heart. and He has blessed us with a pregnancy!"
The story:
A few days before my cycle in November we decided that after it had run its course, we would start "trying" I had just gotten a bunch of requests for fall weddings, and I didn't want to book them "just incase" we got pregnant in November. I had a little spark of hope that we would get pregnant on the first try, but I knew that was probably unlikely.
My cycle is VERY regular..to the extent that I know the day "it" will come. I was at Dollar Tree a few days before I was supposed to start and figured that I might as well stock up because "all tests are the same" (wrong!!) Test after test, negative. Even once "it" was supposed to be here..negative..morning, afternoon, middle of the night..all negative..but I still hadn't started. I thought that maybe I was thinking about it too much and that had pushed my cycle back a few days.
On Tuesday I texted David & asked him to pick up an EPT test then decided that I would just wait a few days to see if my period came and told him "nevermind" on making the stop. Later that night, I got that "feeling" that I wanted to take a different brand test so David went out and bought the EPT digital.. Took it & sure enough.. it said pregnant!! I was alone when I took the test and while the hourglass was blinking, I was praying. Praying that no matter what the outcome, I would be at peace..but secretly hoping those words would pop up on the screen. It's funny to think now that I was praying while "secretly" hoping..God knows the desires of my heart. and He has blessed us with a pregnancy! We found out December 14, 2010 around 9PM.
Our due date is August 22, 2010
The day before my birthday.
