Last January, since the adoption had slowed down so much, we decided to stop preventing things and really wanted to give God the control over when we would have a baby. (Biological or adopted) Fast forward to this January and nothing had happened on either front. Needless to say that we were somewhat frustrated and sad that we didn't have a baby by now, but we knew God was in control. Then we got the news at the end of January that we could get a referral soon. We were so excited!
We were so excited that I didn't notice that I was late. However, this had been the norm over the past year, so when I realized it, I wasn't that worried about it. But- this last Wednesday (February 18th) I had this urgency to confirm it was nothing so I didn't have to think about it anymore. This had become such a common occurance over the past year that I just ran by Fred's and bought the cheapest test they had. The lady at Fred's took forever! I went straight from there to the Ash Wednesday service. After the service, I felt like I just needed to get it over with. I ran home real fast and to my astonishment, it was positive!
I was in shock! So, I ran up to the Wesley Foundation (which the service had already started) and pulled Lud into the TV room. I showed him the picture on my phone and said, "Look at this!" He thought that he was going to be looking at a referral email, so when he saw a positive pregnancy test he was flabbergasted! He smiled real big and said he was excited. I said that I was going to call my mom. I ran out the back and called her like 5 times, but she didn't answer. I went back in and tried to focus on worship and Lud's message.
Right after the service was over, my mom called back and I bolted out the door! The first thing I said was, "I think I'm pregnant!!!" Mama started squealing for joy and swore that she'd had a dream the night before that I was. We talked for awhile and then I texted my siblings the picture of the test and explained what it meant. To say that they were surprised is an understatement! They were super excited too!
After Lud got done at Wesley, he hurried home and we just sat and talked in amazement of our news. I went to sleep (or tried to sleep), and Lud called his parents. They were so excited, and his mom sobbed tears of happiness. Ha!
The next morning I got a quick appointment at my doctor's office, and they confirmed the good news!
We are still in amazement!
