Pregnancy Journal

Every prayer we have prayed God has answered beyond our imagination.  Today we had our second ultra sound and we were praying that we would see the sac that eventually we will see the baby in.  As we waited for the doctor to come in my heart was pounding with excitement and anxiousness.  The last time I had any of these things done the outcome was always sorrow as we realized we were losing our first born because of the ectopic pregnancy.  But there on the screen was a beautiful dark circle, our baby is still too small to see but it is defiantly in the uterus and not in a tube. This pregnancy is such a God pregnancy and I know he is answering prayers and protecting our little one!

Welcome friends and family, you are just finding out that I am finally pregnant. We have been waiting a for this moment and it is so hard to believe it is here. After loosing our first born, and loosing a fallopian tube and getting diagnosed with PCOS we sure did put up the wall for the Lord to break down, and HE DID!!! We are loved by an awesome God! I still can't believe that this moment is here....and here is how I discovered it....

I got up this morning and it is day 41 in my cycle with only a little cramping but still no sign pregnancy. I decided I would go ahead and take a test just to make sure. Kevin is a smart husband and after a couple of months after we lost Eddie he noticed how many pregnancy tests we went through. So he got online and order packs 25, they are tests without the plastic and have no real name brand...they are kind of funny but I sure go through them. I decided just to use one of those, it came up neg. pretty quick and as always I was disappointed and threw it into the trash and went about my day....

I went by to see Daniel Bradley and Wendy. They have been such huge believers and encouragers in my life. They remind me all the time to not put my faith in what I see. Wendy asked how I was doing and if I had gotten my period yet. I told her no but I also told her that my pregnancy tests were coming up negative. She and Daniel of course rebuked those words and said they do not put their trust in pregnancy test but in the Lord. Daniel also reminded me that doubt always enters when we are not in the Lords presence and I really had not been in the Lords presence the past couple of days, I have been letting satan remind me of the past and hold me there. Satan has no power over us, I quench every fiery dart the wicked one slays against me......

Kevin and I have been having a relaxing evening. not much happening at all. We were getting ready to leave to go walk around Lowes so I ran upstairs to go to bathroom, I decided to check the pregnancy test -- I really cannot tell you why but I dug it out of the trash and held up and what to do I see but a positive preg. test. I called Kevin upstairs disbelief of what I was seeing. He was not sure what to think either so I quickly pulled out a regular pregnancy test to see what it would say. As Kevin and I waited those few seconds we could not believe what our eyes were seeing. There on the pregnancy test were two beautiful lines making a beautiful cross! It was positive.

I am amazed, why do we doubt our big and amazing God? We had specifically prayed that this would be the month that I was pregnant, that I would not have to get my fallopian tube tested...and I am. It was so unexpected which is exactly how the Lord loves to work~
