The Blessing


Well I can't say that this is just one blessing, because Chris and I have been blessed more than we can count. However, the latest blessing that we have received is a doozie...Chris and I are going to be parents!! Evidently my body reacted very well to the fertility meds, resulting in conception the first go round. But we really know why we are pregnant right now and we don't think it has much of anything to do with the medicine.



At the end of July I had a consultation appointment with my Dr. to see how the Clomid was working for me. When I went in, the nurse asked me if I had taken a test and I informed her that I had on Day 23(If any of you have gone through TTC then you should know what that means)but it was neg. So she asked me if I wanted to take another one, well I told her I would, I didn't think it would be pos. but deep down I was hopeful(aren't we all though). As I sat back down on the table I just started praying...Few minutes later she popped her head in and asked if I had been on any progesterone, I had at the beginning of June, right before I started the Clomid. She said well congratulations(????!!!!!!)I was like WHAT!!!! She said your pregnant, and showed me the test!!!!! OMG I started bawling, then she started crying and she was like I gotta get out of here or I won't make it. So she bagged up my test and gave it to me. There wasn't much consultation needed after that, so when the Dr. came in he congratulated me(of course I'm still in shock here)and we set an appointment for our first OB visit.



God is so good. I mean we didn't expect to ever have kids after the diagnosis we had gotten, but we still had faith. I am convinced that our faith in our lord, and his awesome plan is why we were able to beat the odds. What a great pregnancy we have had too! I mean I was really sick during the first trimaster, but I loved every minute of it. I worry like it will never end, about everything, but God will protect us and whatever is meant to be will be. I mean He has never led us astray before, so we have no reason not to trust in Him.

We are 17 wks now, and Sunday night we felt little Yoda kick for the first time! Ok so I really feel like we are gonna have a girl, but neither Chris nor I want to call it one way or the other, so we have agreed to name it Yoda Snuffleupagus Hughes until we know what it will be. We find out the day after election day what we are having, that's only 8 days!!!

We have told just about everyone now, others that we haven't told I'm sure will hear it through the grapevine eventually. Sorry if we missed you, we didn't do it intentionally. Telling the family went well, some wasn't what we had anticipated, but hey what do you expect especially when we are not the first to have a baby. All in all we have had allot of fun telling everyone especially the fun ways we have told some.
