Two Become Three

After two very short months off of any form of birth control, and the help and blessing from our Divine Creator, Andrew and I have successfully started growing a baby!!! When I took the first test, the second line was so faint that I almost couldn't believe it. I hopped around the house excitedly for about ten minutes and then took a second test (a different brand this time). Sure enough, the second pink line appeared fairly quickly, and I was satisfied for the moment. What an amazing feeling, knowing there is something growing, slowly yet surely, inside your belly!

Of course I took another test the very next day JUST to be sure. Needless to say, I'm pregnant. Most people would say to wait until after the first trimester to tell anyone, just in case it doesn't work out...but as it's my first one, and the fact that I'm bad at keeping my own secrets, we just decided to tell everyone right away. If it doesn't work out...well, we'll deal with it then.

I'm pretty confident that this baby is meant to be, and I'm so very excited about my first ultrasound on the 29th. Supposedly the heart begins to beat at 5 weeks, so it should be strong enough to hear by then (it will be 9 weeks on the 29th).

So exciting! Praise God.
