Jared and I had our beta test this morning. We got there at 9:00 AM. They took my blood and Dr. J did a scan on me to see how my ovaries were doing. They are swollen, but he wasn't concerned. We left and went to the mall to kill time...we won't hear the results until 2:30 or later! We decided to go to babies r us and look around. We were looking at car seats at 2:30 when my phone rang. It was Ashley from Dr. J's office...this was a good sign because she told me I would hear her voice if it was good!! She said Alis not only are you pregnant, but your really pregnant! I lost it right there in babies r us. Crying and shaking, I couldn't even hardly talk to her. I heard those words...you're pregnant. We have waited three years to hear that! All the years of waiting, disappointments, sadness, stress, shots, and medication was all worth it! My beta number was 550!! Which is a good, high number! My estrogen and progesterone were good also!! Courtney then got on the phone and told me what I needed to do next and made my appointment for our first scan to hear the heartbeat!!! We go July 1st, 4 more weeks, to hear the heartbeat or heartbeats. They think there may be two in there given my number being so high!!! Jared and I hugged and shared some tears after the phone call. Most of all we PRAISED GOD!!! He is the giver of life and He gave this life to us!! I can't begin to express my feelings at this point. It amazing that this all worked our according to His plan! I am beyond elated and excited!! We feel so truly blessed!! It's better than I ever imagined!
We decided to go buy some baby balloons to give to our parents to tell them it's official. It was so much fun telling all of them. Even though they knew...it made it so real!! Karsyn is here for the week visiting and she took a picture of us to announce on the blog and social media. I can't believe there is a human life inside of me! We are putting our trust in God to protect us and our baby/ies. We never planned on telling people until we were three months along before, but after going through this journey we knew that we would have to let people know! God got us this far, He has a plan, and will take care of us and our baby!!
"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the Lord." So they worshipped the Lord there.
-1 Samuel 1:27
