I AM PREGNANT!
That's really all I have to say today. Rick and I are over the moon excited!
Yesterday was the longest. day. of. my. life. I woke up bright and early (after barely sleeping all night) and went to get my blood test. I then spent the rest of the morning shaking with anticipation! My good friend Molly came to be with me since Rick had to work all day, and I was not about to chance getting bad news while alone in the mountains! I made sure to keep busy throughout the morning. I've never wanted to cook a day in my life, but I made chili for lunch and Molly made cornbread. We also carved pumpkins which helped pass the time. While carving my witch at approximately 1:41 PM I got the call. I was ecstatic and so relieved to get the good news! But then had to sit on it for three hours while I waited for Rick to call! TALK ABOUT TIME MOVING BACKWARDS! He finally called a little after 4:00 and I shared the great news. We've been celebrating ever since!
I can't thank everyone enough for your kind words of love and support and all the praying and hoping you did! My cousin Sarah told me God was probably sick of hearing from her she was praying so much yesterday. Rick and I would be nothing without the support of our friends and family. We are so happy we have such wonderful news to share with you all! Being 4 weeks pregnant, we're staying positive but realistic. Things happen, and so we're not going to share our news with everyone. We would appreciate if you would keep this news to yourselves as well. No one from Rick's work knows and only our inner circle of friends have been involved in the process, so thank you so much for helping us keep this news private, at least for the next couple of months. Mums the word!
On a sad note, about 10 minutes after getting the news of a lifetime our most precious wedding gift, a beautiful plate Rick's aunt Marcie and her family gave us, which everyone who attended our wedding signed, BROKE. Ugh stab to the heart. It was on display in our kitchen and I think when I closed the oven it jostled a spoon which hit the plate and sent it flying...This is why I shouldn't cook. Anyway, I'm going to do my best to glue it back together. Molly and I stared at each other in shock and my only thought was that in life, you don't get it all, EVER. Even on your best day, plates break. I'm just thankful I received good news prior to the plate ending it's life. I don't think I could have taken it otherwise!
I have to get another blood test on Saturday to confirm I'm still pregnant and then we'll go from there. Keep those positive thoughts coming!
Happy Halloween!
