Faithful.... Good.. AMEN!

So I am not sure when I will open this post as public... but I HAD to document this day as I am ecstatic.

Today is Friday.

On Tuesday morning I totally caved and took a pregnancy test.  At first it was white and I was getting really sad.  But then... I saw a squinter!! If you are not familiar with pregnancy tests, ANY second line is positive even it is faint.  So I knew the embryo had implanted and my body was doing something!  I was soo happy that I didn't want to leave the test and hung out with it eating breakfast, getting dressed, just staring at it!  There were fears that hit me later that afternoon that it might be a chemical pregnancy (which just means an early miscarriage because the levels (or baby) never get high enough).  I was trying so hard to manage expectations.





Then on Wednesday night I could not wait ANY longer and tried another test. I was ECSTATIC to see that the second line had become significantly darker, which means the baby is growing! Yippeee!!!! I told myself I wouldn't test again until my blood test Friday as I didn't want to freak myself out.

So then today... I knew I had to go get some bloodwork done for the Doctor to measure the HCG (or pregnancy hormone) to make sure to see #1 if I was pregnant and #2 if the number was high enough for it to be viable.  I had a horrible migraine (thanks to the hormones) all morning long so that helped pass the time as I tried to drink water and sleep.

Then around 2pm today I spoke with the Doctor and he said CONGRATULATIONS! Your HCG is 139!!!!!! 139 was so much higher than my expectations. I was thinking it might be like 65 or something so I was stoked that it was over 100.  The number probably means nothing to you and I am not going to bore you with the details.  Just know I AM PREGNANT!!!!!! YAY.

So many grateful and excited feelings right now. Of course I know it is still early and so much can still happen. But I choose to trust God.  I believe He is in control and His plan is Good.

Keep the prayers coming!!!!!  THANK YOU JESUS!
