The day the Mr and I will never, ever forget!

A few days before that Sunday afternoon... I had been feeling "different." I was tired, I was winded, I was cramping, and my boobs were killing me. Now, the last two I figured was just mother nature doing her thing... but the first two was complexing me. Still no sign of my vistor, I started googling to see what in the world could be going on. And every site was screaming "go get a pregnancy test."

That Sunday afternoon, I decided I had to know. Mainly because if I wasn't... I wanted to know what in the world was wrong with me. Lucky for us, CVS is just two miles away. The two of us went in blind... we seriously didn't even know where to look for a test. We had to ask... no joke! We bought a two pack and off to the house we went.

Nervous, you better believe it. The Mr decided he would wait in the living room while I "did my thing" and while I was tearing the wrapper I prayed... "Lord if this is your will, we are ready."

The instrutions said wait 3 minutes, so I went back out with the Mr and waited. When the time was up, I asked him to go look... then said "no I'll go." That was the longest walk of my life. My heart was beating so fast not knowing what I would find, and praying He knew what was best. Well...

I screamed "OOOOOOOH MY...." and Terry came flying in the bedroom. I showed him our answer and he grabbed me to hug me and then came the tears. He asked me if I was happy and I said, "well yeah, these are tears of joy!"

Then I asked him should we take the other test just to make sure... he said sure and three minutes later...

I don't think I could stop smiling. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have stopped smiling. We both knew we wanted to have children one day, however, God's timing is perfect and that one day became right then and there. On October 14th... the Mr and I added new names to our titles... mommy and daddy. Wow! Mommy and Daddy!! Seriously, y'all... God is SOOOO good!!

That evening, we called my parents and his parents to give them the news. This will be the first grandchild for my folks and the third for his. Both conversations were hilarious in their own way, but they are all very excited, too!! That evening before I could lay my head down... I had to give thanks to the one who had this in the works since before I was born. His gift to us is one we will forever be greatful for, and will forever give thanks to Him for this child!

We're going to be parents, y'all!!!
