My husband and I found out about a miracle. A miracle that we NEVER thought was possible. A miracle we pray to God that will bless others as much as it is already blessing us. After 10 years of marriage and 8 yrs of not doing anything to prevent it we found out we are going to have a baby.
Years ago my MIL mentioned she remember a doctor saying that my husband couldn’t produce children and about 2 years ago he got tested and everything seemed to be ok with him so I figured well maybe it’s me and/or somehow that test was wrong. Guess I was wrong on all accounts. LOL I’m very glad I was wrong. :)
The reason I found out was I had decided to actually find out whether or not I was on a 28 day cycle or a 30 day cycle. I’d never tracked my period before…it happened when it happened. I was just thankful it was short! I figured it was probably a 30 day one as I couldn’t remember it jumping 2 or more days a month.
Day 1 past and I thought ok I probably am late or miscalculated it. Day 2 passed and I was getting a bit more concerned but thinking back to what I wrote above I thought no it’s impossible…there’s NO way I could be pregnant even though I did notice there were things changing in my body. By Day 5 I was still in denial a little bit but knew in my heart there was no other explanation. I had told my husband on Day 4 I believe that there was a little chance I MIGHT be pregnant and he seemed pretty calm for which I was glad. LOL
Day 5 I told my mom about the possibility of it and she seemed pretty excited I still didn’t know how I felt. I was excited in away but didn’t want to have the hope for it and it not be true. Day 6 of the missed period my husband and I were at Wal-Mart and I decided well it won’t hurt to test…it will probably like the others I’ve taken and be a negative. Well we get home and I took the test. A test that said it should come back in 3 minutes and the test came back a positive in about a minute and a half! I felt like crying but managed to hold it back so I could tell my husband. I walk out the bedroom door and heard the screen door slam as my husband came into the house and I show him the positive test and the first thing out of his mouth was we need to call the doctor. I could tell he was pretty excited as I was.
We made the rounds to all the family and when we got home I decided to take the second test and it came back just as quick and just as positive as the first. Today we got the official confirmation that we indeed truly are expecting a baby. Now I know all the things that could go wrong and that could happen but my prayer is that everything in spite of me will go well. That any health problems I might have are gone at least until the baby’s born. This is an unexpected blessing that we never thought could happen and we welcome him/her or them (twins run on both sides of my family and at least one side of my husbands) with open loving arms.
