After a more than a year of praying, waiting, hoping, and crying I am FINALLY pregnant! After a week of wondering I woke up Saturday morning and took a pregnancy test. Almost immediately I saw the 2 lines come up in the window. I stood there shocked for a minute or so and then went in to wake Brad up with the news. After a few minutes of celebration we prayed and praised the Lord for this amazing blessing. It's funy because even though I am excited I also want to balance those feelings out with the reality that I am only 5 weeks along. I know many women who have had miscarriages pretty recently and this reality is extremely sobering !
At the same time it has been so hard keeping this news to myself these past few days. Being around two of my close friends has made it exceptionally difficult! Brad is set on waiting until after our first doctors appointment before we tell ANYONE, so I am committed to respecting his wishes. I know this is the wise thing to do, but if it were up to me I would have told Anna and Cheri by now! I wonder if Brad will be able to keep the news to ourselves when we spend a long weekend with his parents and sister over the 4th of July. I guess we'll see!
