Positive!

Today is the day! December 29th, 2008....I woke up this morning and I felt something in my spirit say "take the test". This is only the second month that Theo and I have been trying to get pregnant. And man, is this like Deja Vu' or what! Three years ago, on Christmas morning we found out we were expecting our first baby. Now almost three years to the day, we are expecting our second baby. Although I haven't been to the doctor yet, if my calculations are correct, this baby will be due on Carter's third birthday! How cool is that? In fact, my mom and her brother are exactly two years apart to the day. Maybe it runs in the family...

As I'm typing this, I haven't even told Theo yet. I wanted to creatively surprise him. But I don't know if I can hold it in much longer. I'm not good at keeping secrets. So I imagine I'll tell him tonight. I know he'll be thrilled! Most of you all who will eventually be reading this won't find out for a few weeks either. I do not want to spread the news until I have a chance to go to the doctor. Don't be mad, you guys will know soon enough!

I was so excited this morning when I saw the "pregant" show up on the test! I have been feeling pregnant over the past couple of days. Friday I told Theo "Honey, please don't take this the wrong way but your cologne smells way too strong!" He said "I didn't do anything different. I only sprayed once.". Hmmmmm, that was my first clue. And then I had another pregnancy symptom which I won't blog about but it's also a symptom of PMS so I wasn't entirely sure. But this morning, I thought that today was the day to find out. Sure enough, I'm pregnant!

My first thought were "Thank you Jesus". I am so blessed to be experiencing this again. The Lord knows my heart is at home, with my husband, and my child (soon the be children). There is nothing I want more out of life than to live it how God has called me, and that means being a wife and mom. Thank you Lord for giving me the desires of my heart.
