We're Finally Pregnant!!

As everyone already knows we are expecting our first little one and couldn't be more excited! It was quite a journey to get to this point which makes us even more thankful for this little life inside me.We have been married for a little over 4 years and have been getting the "when are you guys going to have a baby" question for quite awhile now. I have been ready for children since we got married. I cherished our first couple of years together but our 3rd year my patience started to grow thin. Drew was a different story. He would continually tell me he wanted kids, but wanted to wait until he was ready and in a place with the Lord where he felt comfortable taking that step. When he was finally ready we found out shortly after that I had PCOS and was going to require medication to be able to get pregnant. It was heartbreaking news to someone who always dreamed of being a mom but we chose to depend on the Lord for strength and guidance and reached out to family and friends for prayer. So thank you to everyone that prayed for us in our journey to become parents!

I found out I was pregnant on June 28, the first morning the boys were staying with us the week of basketball camp. I didn't even tell Drew I was taking a hpt, I didn't expect to myself but wanted to know the "yes or no" before the week began. I was shocked when this came up....

The line popped up immediately and I couldn't believe it. Drew was still asleep, about to wake up to get ready for camp. I got back in bed, woke him up and whispered the good news in his ear, and got a pretty big smile from him. Our due date is March 8! I will do a pregnancy recap soon of what I have experienced up until this point.

I continued to take test for the next couple of mornings to make myself feel better and watched the line get darker which made it more real!

It's official, I'm preggers!

Love,
