So about a month ago (Oct 18) I was feeling really sick and I didn’t want to eat anything. So I asked my dad if he and mom were sick from when we saw them the weekend before and he said no. Well my dad went on to joke that maybe I was pregnant and I said no way. 1) Becuase my dad and I well know that I have been told for five years now that if I ever wanted to have a child I needed to talk to the doctor and be put on a special diet and have infertity drugs. See I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Snydrome and was told that I wouldn’t be able to ovulate without drugs, so basically it is hard to get pregnant. 2) I had taken a home pregnancy test at the end of September and knew I wasn’t, becuase the tesst said no. After the conversation with my dad I started to really think about it so after I worked that night I went and bought another test. And sure enough it showed a plus sign. I walked out of the bathroom and told my husband who believe it or not was playing HALO, and he was like what…no way. And that’s when we decided we were going to take two more test on Sunday becuase we thought it was a false positive.
Well fast forward to now and two doctor appointments later and you get the picture above. I am 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant. And I have respect for every mother who came before me because honestly the morning sickness is not fun at all….and really mine is all day so I give props to the women who have done this before me…and I wish men could go through this. A few things I have learned from this pregnancy so far my baby doesn’t like chicken, milk, cereal, and loves for me to throw up while outside, especially parking lots. An the smells….mothers you know what I’m talking about. And don’t get me started on hormones. I found myself crying the other day over a song on the radio and tears while talking to my dad on the phone.
Besides all the new experiences that I’m going through and to be honest I do enjoy them. I know for sure this is a gift from God. I prayed a long time ago that I trusted that He would bless me with a child when he wanted. This was answered in many ways…..1) From what the doctors told me “That it would be hard without there help.” 2) I was still on birth control when this baby was concieved, again not suppose to happen. And I know that even though Jon and I have no idea where the money will come from for this child….we both know that God will provide since this is a gift from Him.
Lord, I thank you for this unexpected blessing and I know that you are in charge of everything…..I owe you much and pray that you will help grow this child into a beautiful person for your will. Amen.
