The Post I've Dreamed About Writing

It has taken 2 years, 6 months, 2 weeks and 4 days for me to be able to say this.

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant!

I am officially 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. My due date is December 9th, 2011. :)

My beta came in at a solid 102. I thought that was on the low end, but apparently beta results for FETs are typically lower and slower to increase. I go back to the clinic for my second HCG blood test (beta) on Monday, along with my progesterone and estrogen blood tests (to make sure my levels are in a good range to keep this pregnancy). Fingers and toes crossed for a doubling beta! :)

After the baby dance, the shrieks, the tears, buying Ella a "Big Sister" shirt, the many phone calls, surprising my parents at their house, I am finally able to sit down and share the news with you all.




And really, I'm too excited to sit and type a longer post. I promise to write more later. Frankly, I'm surprised my brain is able to communicate to my fingers what to type right now because I am in such a happy euphoric state. I was shaking with pure and utter happiness earlier, and thankfully that died down just enough so I could let you all know the good news!

All praise and glory to God! Please keep the prayers coming that He keeps this baby (or babies) healthy and strong. Thanks to everyone for all your love and support! :)

As I took a break from my own blogging, I also took a break from my reading. I almost held my breath as I visited your blog today... Tears rushed to my eyes to see that you are pregnant. Oh, Bobbi! I knew it. I knew it would happen for you. Congratulations, My Friend. Have you seen the movie yet? Facing The Giants? Please see it if you haven't. Now is the time... Praise God. Nothing is Impossible with Him.
