We're Pregnant!!!

So last night, Brandon persuaded me to take a pregnancy test. I had a feeling that I might be...actually, I knew deep down that I was. I was just so scared of getting a negative result. This is the first time that I have ever taken a digital test, so I read the directions carefully to make sure I didn't mess anything up. All of the other tests I have taken in the past few months have only taken 2 minutes for a result, but this one said it would take 3 minutes.  So, I took the test, checked to make sure the hour glass was spinning (which shows that the test is working correctly), laid it down on a flat surface, and prayed that whatever the result was... that God would help me deal with it.  About 30 seconds later, I checked to see if the hour-glass was still spinning.  To my surprise, the hour glass was gone and it said PREGNANT!  I convinced myself that the test might just default to that result and left the room to let the full 3 minutes pass.  I told Brandon about what was happening and he was simply smitten. Sure enough, when I went back to check the results, it was the same.  

Since the test came with two tests in a box, I took another one early this morning.  2 for 2.  There is no room for denial now Katie, you are pregnant!

Happy. Scared. Excited. Curious. Anxious. Relieved.  And those are just a few of the emotions that I am feeling. Above all, I feel blessed.  Knowing that God is knitting this child together in the womb (and with His own hands) blows my mind. And the fact that I get to be a part of His creation of this child is amazing.

We haven't told Caden yet, and I don't think we are going to until we reach "the point of no return." Probably after the first trimester. 

I already made an appointment with my gynecologist and luckily I only have to wait a week and a half! They estimated that based on my last menstrual cycle, I am somewhere between 4-5 weeks along.  Neat!

I will try and keep up with this to the best of my ability so you can keep up with all the details!

Much love!
