WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!

It is with the most joyful of spirit that I announce we are PREGNANT!  Such a surreal feeling.  I cheated this Saturday and took a home pregnancy test and for the first time EVER it came back positive!  We were absolutely over the moon when we saw it.  Of course we called all of our family members (at 6:30 am) to share the news.  What a wonderful day.  My official appointment with my doctor was yesterday.  They drew my blood at 9am and said I would hear back before 4pm.  What a long day it felt like waiting for the call to come through!  Finally at 3:45 my doctor called and said "you are definitely pregnant!"  Apparently my HCG levels were very high.  It is fair to speculate that this result may be twins.  WOW!  My Doctor did not tell me that, however, im blessed to have an Aunt who has already gone through this process and shared with me that her HCG numbers were even 500 less than mine and she has twins.  So....we will wait to see what God provides.  Our first Ultra Sound is on August 12th.  That is when we will see the baby or possible babies.  Im just overjoyed.  I find myself worrying a lot however.  Its like we have finally arrived at this place we have been praying about for years and now im filled with worry.  Maybe that's the first step in becoming a mother :)  It makes me smile just thinking about the amazing opportunity to be a Mother.  So, my plan of attack for my worries is to remember that this life is all in God's hands.  I also say to myself "Peace be with you."  It stops me dead im track of worry.  I want to thank everyone who has been following my story and supporting us through this process.  It definitely has not been a lonely road and I owe that to you all.  xoxoxoxoxo
