Oh, Baby!

Lane's birthday party was a blast last night.  I'm pretty sure that 2 year old was going to have a hard time going to bed after all of the new toys he got last night.  That along with the amount of cake and ice cream he consumed - that kids loves him some cake and ice cream! 

Once we got home, Clint and I started talking about our morning plans.  I was SO excited to test this time.  Remember last cycle I did not want to test at all!  I said to Clint do you think a few hours really makes a difference?  I told him I kind of wanted to take one right now!  He told me not do, but I did not listen.  I tested.  The minute I saw the results I started screaming.  Yep - there were 2 little lines, it said I was PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!  Clint came running in and was all excited as well.  Duh, right!  Then he got all serious... "You should have waited til tomorrow... What if its a false positive?" 

So this morning at 4:00 am he was wide awake.  Woke me up and we took another test.  There were still 2 lines, it still said I was pregnant.  AAHHH!!!!!  I can hardly believe it?!?!?!  I am on cloud 9, for the second time in my life I have a true miracle growing inside of me!  I hope and pray with all of my hear that this baby makes their appearance a little bit different and is kicking and screaming when we meet him or her!!!

I called our sweet Nurse, who was equally as excited for us.  Our appointment is scheduled for April 25th to hear that amazing little heartbeat!!!!  I know how nervous I will be for that.  I know that feeling of not hearing a heartbeat will never leave me.  I know I will have a lot of nervous and scary moments with this pregnancy.  My sister tells me, every time one one of those thoughts comes across your mind, say a prayer.  She is right.  I know there will be those moments but I need to focus and positive things and not let things like that prevent me from enjoying every minute of this pregnancy. 

I debated whether or not to blog about this today.  Blogging has been so therapeutic for me and I need it to continue to be that way for the next 36 weeks!  I have only told my Sister, of course, my parents, and a few of my closest co-workers.  There are a few, I mean like 3 besides my sis, in real life friends and family that read my blog and they will know to.  Infertility is hard, people know we are trying, some know we just completed a cycle.  It takes away the surprise.  But I still want to wait a little while before the word is completely out.  My head and my heart need some more time to absorb this. 

I am soooo ecstatic.  I am having a hard time concentrating today.  AAHHH!!!!!  I can't believe I'm pregnant.  I am living, walking, breathing proof that miracles to come true!  Thanks for all of the prayers - they indeed helped.  I also know a certain little Angel was looking out for his Mommy and Daddy this time around!

Love,
