The Positive Pregnancy Test

It was definitely a long 9 days waiting for the official test result but we made it and are so excited to be at the end of this journey with a baby on the way. :) Something about seeing a positive pregnancy test just never gets old for me....not sure how much money I have spent on pregnancy tests. :/  I told myself I wasn't going to take an at home pregnancy test this time but I told Brad that I was dreaming about pregnancy tests (he was too)! I had to take Lexi to Walmart this past Tuesday to get some things for her V-day party and I happen to walk down that isle and they were taunting me. Ha! I waited until Wednesday morning when I woke up to take one and it was positive and then the same thing Thursday morning.
                             
Then I got the official call Thursday afternoon that my number was 103 and I am pregnant. :) I was a little worried about the number b/c with Lexi it was like 224 I think, but she said it was absolutely fine nothing to be worried about. I do remember having to wait a couple days longer with Lexi so that could be why my number was a little higher with her. So, today I had another blood draw and it was up to 255. The nurse said it more than doubled and that's what they want, so I have to call back Monday to set up my first ultrasound in 2 weeks!!!

I really just can't thank everyone enough for all the prayer and support we have been shown. I have been so humbled and in tears over and over in awe of God's goodness. We had some great friends bless us Friday night and then again today and now my mom and sister are taking me out to celebrate so it's been overwhelming with the fb messages, texts, calls, but I am so very appreciative and told Brad that we need to pay it forward and pray about God leading us to bless someone else!

I am thrilled to have this precious baby inside of me that I already love and adore so very much! I LOVE being pregnant and would probably have 10 kids if it came a little easier. Ha! Just kidding but I really do love being pregnant and can't wait to start having a big belly, I am slowing down and taking in every second of every day because I know this could very well be our last baby and I don't want to take anything for granted. I am also going to focus on really making these last nine months special with just Lexi. We are going to talk to the doctor about planning a vacation to Disneyland for her birthday this year, knowing after the baby comes vacation will not be in sight for awhile.

Of course this little girl is thrilled too and is finally getting her baby...if you look close it's a heart with big sis inside! I can't imagine loving anyone more but I know God will expand my heart or so I have heard. ;)
