After over two years of trying to get you here and going through many fertility treatments and two miscarriages, and seeing way too many of these:
Your daddy and I have shed many tears and said many prayers over the past two years to Heavenly Father on what we needed to do in order to have you come to us. Our faith has been tested but we always had hope that He would bless us with this thing that we most desired. We cannot wait to see your beautiful little face in a short eight months.
Because of the medicine I was taking, I knew when we would be able to see if we were pregnant. Sometimes my medicine would make me feel funny and a lot of months I would hope that the things I were feeling were because I was pregnant but that little test would always say "not pregnant." Daddy thought I was silly for taking so many tests but I was always anxious to find out and not patient enough to wait a few days.
This last month, I knew the days I could take a test. I got anxious and took one on Thursday, August 26th. It said "not pregnant." I had been feeling funny again and getting really hot and feeling shaky in the mornings. Friday came around and since I didn't want to disappoint dad again, I took one when I got home from work, while he was still at work, so I wouldn't have to let him know I wasn't pregnant again, for the fifteenth time. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and I took a test and went out in to the kitchen to get some things done before we left for Chicago the next morning. I went back in and remember saying "not pregnant" out loud, just to prepare myself. I about fell over when it said "PREGNANT". I couldn't believe it!!! I walked out in to the kitchen and started to shake. I started to cry and said a little prayer to thank Heavenly Father for this most wonderful blessing.
I told Gus that we were going to have a baby but I think he already knew. The weekend we got pregnant, we were in Denver for daddy's work. When we got home that weekend and picked Gus up, he got in the car and started smelling my tummy. Dad said that maybe there was a baby in there that he knew about. That night when we went to bed, Gus laid his little head on my tummy the whole night, which is something he never does.
After I got over the shock, I texted your daddy and asked him when he was going to get off. I tried calling him a few times but he never answered. I think I thought about waiting for him to get home but I was still in such shock and shaking that my mind wasn't thinking straight. I finally got a hold of him and asked him when he was getting off and if he could leave to come home. He told me he couldn't get off but would be coming in a little while. After asking him to come home probably ten times, he finally asked "Are you pregnant"? I started crying and told him that I was! Now, I feel bad that I didn't do it in a more exciting way but I was still completely in shock that I couldn't keep it in any longer. He was very excited but couldn't really express it without everyone else around him hearing!
I took another test and it was negative so my heart kind of sank. I called the doctor's office and they told me to take another test in the morning. We were flying out to Chicago that morning so when I woke up, I took another one. It was positive and said "PREGNANT" again!!
We cannot wait to share this wonderful news with our family and friends but we want to first make sure that you are healthy and strong and that everything looks good. Besides, it is kind of fun having a secret between just me and daddy!
We cannot express our excitement to have you join our family in May. We will feel much better as we progress in the pregnancy and make it past the scary weeks that mommy has. We so much want you to join our family and are doing everything we can to make sure we can hold you in our arms.
We love you Baby B!!
