My pregnancy discovery story:

This picture was taken the day we found out we were having our baby. We had been trying for about a year. We had scheduled this day to go to a local parade/festival with my brother in law and sister in law. My sister in law was going to be taking pics for us so we'd have some for our bedroom wall. I had just told her the day prior that I really just didn't think I was going to have a baby.

I wasn't upset. God had given me a beautifully content spirit during that year and I was viewing foster care and adoption as a beautiful, desirable option, and I still do.

The next morning, the day this picture was taken, I took another pregnancy test. I had taken tests 4 days in a row because I was late. It came back positive. I took 3 more tests, all positive. This was the day before Mother's Day. I cried from joy. I have never, not even once in my life cried from joy. When I told my husband he laughed and laughed. We could not have been more overjoyed. What a beautiful gift our baby is to us, and what incredibly sweet timing.

@bianca_rose, thank you! If I hadn't waited so long, I think the roughness would be harder to bear! Plus, now I can sympathize with other mammas when they don't feel well because I understand first hand.

@bianca_rose, thanks! Pregnancy is a rough ride, but I'm still glad I've been given the opportunity to be here. Even if most days I'm miserable. 😅

@babyrossmommy, thats so awesome! While we were trying to have this baby, one of our couple friends who had tried also for 7 years was pregnant and carrying hers. Every time she would post any update about her pregnancy I was sooo happy for them. I loooove hearing about miracles like yours, and theirs! Makes me sooo happy for people!

I was told for many years I couldn't conceive trying for 7 years finally said ok I'll go see a specialist I had everything scheduled to see the doctor and have test done. The mother of a boss I had came up to me and said you are pregnant congratulations. I looked at her and said no way! I went and took a test just because it was just weird someone would say that. It was completely positive! We had doctors tells my husband and I to our face its 1 and a million I could conceive. It wasn't his issue that it was mine. Now I'm 27 and half weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. We call him our miracle we really didn't think we could conceive let alone without any help. Miracles happen Hun!
