The Day of Miracles

Last Night I couldn't sleep.. So I stayed up and read my scriptures.. This typically gets me sleepy enough to pass out relatively quickly.. not last night. I read through to the end.. about a hundred pages. I found an amazing peace come over me after reading some scriptures that I have read before but they especially spoke to me this time. In Ether he speaks of Faith and how we will not receive what we are wanting until the trial of our Faith. And that we need hope. I knew that if I exercised my faith In my Heavenly Father all would be ok. After a prayer in my heart and reading the scriptures I fell asleep peacefully.At about 4 Aaron and I woke up and he asked me, "How are you feeling?" I said "Pregnant." Because at that moment I knew all would be ok. whether I was blessed to be pregnant now or later it will work out ok in the end. We dozed for a little longer..
I woke up at 6 to get ready and left for the Dr at 6:45. Traffic was insane, and I got there just in time for my 7:30 appt. They drew my blood and said we'll call you between 1 and 2.
I got home just after 8 and chatted with my friend Shanae, got the kids on the bus and then relaxed on the couch for what seemed like forever. I played games on my phone.. and watched a baby story on TLC.. torturing myself again I know.... but I couldn't help it.
At 11:15 (Early!) Genevieve, my Nurse from ORM called. She said when she saw my results come back she wanted to call me right away. My first words were, "Oh I'm so glad its you who called!" She has the nicest softest kindest voice I think I've ever heard. Anyway... she said that my levels looked great! I had a 296.8 HCG hormones which is definitely prego!They are looking for a number between 100- and 300... so we did good! She said my estrogen and progesterone look great and that they will be weening me off of those, but I will be taking them for the time being. I go back in on Friday for another blood test to see if the levels are doubling. If they grow a ton it may indicate multiples! From there we will schedule an ultrasound! That's I think at about 7 weeks. So, as of today I am 4 weeks 2 days pregnant! My baby is between the size of poppy seed and an apple seed. Love it! Sweet Baby Grow! I still can't believe it really.. its unbelievable.
I was so not going to tell Aaron over the phone, so he knew he had to wait until he got home to find out. So, after they called I just text him and said "they called" he text back "i'm coming home" He came home for a long lunch and I was able to tell him right away. Of course he would be the first to be told. We hugged and cried. It was amazing. The kids got home shortly after that and I told them... they were like... "where is the baby?" Silly kids. I'll post their reaction to it all soon.
So just for kicks and giggles I went ahead and peed on an EPT test I had tucked away from several months ago. I've never (obviously) gotten a positive result from one and guess what?! It was positive! Too Cool!

I am so amazed at the love Heavenly Father has for me, this is such an incredible blessing!
