"YES +"



Sometimes, you hope and hope and hope for that day to come. The day when you find out that you are going to be a parent. I found out this morning that I am pregnant (according to a home pregnancy test). My first Drs appointment will be Nov 25 and I will find out for sure.
I am really excited, really nervous and really scared. Questions start to form like "Am I ready for this?" "Will I be a good mom?". I don't know the answers...all I know is that because I believe in the Almighty God and trust Him in all that I do, then I am not alone and He will guide me as I attempt to do this.
I first suspected that I was pregnant yesterday, Nov 17. I was praying in the morning and subconsciously I started praying for my health and the health of the baby inside of me. I then realized what I had prayed and realized that I had prayed the same thing on Sunday morning in church. I was a little nervous and began to feel a little nauseas all day. I tried to wave it off as a figment of my imagination. All through the night, I dreamed about babies. I don't recall the exact dreams, just that they were about babies. First thing when I got up was take a pregnancy test. I waited just a few minutes and they answer appeared "Yes +". I started shaking and not knowing what to think or feel. I ran into the kitchen thinking Bobby was still home, and he wasn't. He didn't know what I was doing or that I was up. I called him to see if he was still downstairs, and he wasn't, he was already gone. Of course he had to know what I wanted, so I told him...I wish that I could have seen his face when I told him, but I couldn't. I know that he is shocked and scared and excited too.
This is the beginning of something new for us. We would appreciate all of your prayers as we attempt to do this. It will be interesting and fun. I can't wait to see what God has in store.
