We are having a baby!
Corey and I have been married for three years. I have been ready for kids almost that long. Corey was not quite as eager; his plan was to wait until we had been married for five years. I agreed to that before we got married, but a girl can change her mind.
In December, we BOTH decided we were ready to start trying, two years earlier than our original plan. Five months later, we have a little miracle on the way!

My original plan was to not test this month unless there was some glaring sign that I should. Then I decided that if I was pregnant, I wanted to know by Mother’s Day. OK, so I technically wouldn’t be a mom yet, but I could still celebrate quietly, right?
I took the first test the Friday before Mother’s Day after I got home from work. On that first test, the second line was so faint, I was almost convinced I was seeing things. Maybe I was just seeing what I wanted to see.
I took another test on Saturday, the second line was a little darker, but I still wasn’t convinced.
I tested again on Sunday because who knows? Those first two may have lied. That one convinced me. It was definitely positive. I was so excited when I clearly saw that second line pop up immediately! It took everything I had not to run back to the bed and yell “I’M PREGNANT” at Corey, but I don’t think he would have appreciated that at 6:00 in the morning. I did tell Corey the good news that morning before church, but I’ll share that story later.
As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a mom more than anything else. I am thrilled beyond words that in less than nine months, motherhood will be my reality!
