Now what.....

Derrick and I are very excited to announce that we are pregnant. I had bloodwork done yesterday
and my beta came back over 600. Which means we either have a strong strong pregnancy going with one precious baby or we have two :).
So the Dr's office calls yesterday and tells us the good news, I hardly had a response. I've known the whole time I was pregnant and it felt absolutely wonderful to hear it. But all of a sudden I started realizing this is real!! We spent so much time and effort to get here, now what do we do now that we've got what we wanted all these years! It's going to have to take a while to just sink in. Oh my gosh we are pregnant!! So the now what phase begins....
We told our parents yesterday which was a dream we've had for a long time. The truth is we've dreamt about this for so long, believed in God regardless of Dr's words that its just weird to even say it. "We're going to be parents!"

We are not the same people that started this journey. Our life motto is God is faithful. As you read this I want to encourage you to dive into the desires of your heart that God has given you. As you identify them grab hold as hard as you can and dive into Jesus. I reminded God every morning that He had promised me something and I would not let go. I didn't care about how it looked anymore I just knew that He would fulfill his promise. I stand praying for all of the couples that long to hear the wonderful news we got yesterday. I will never forget the feelings and pain but will rejoice that our God is faithful!!
Thank you God that you never grow weary, that you never give up, and that your word never returns void. You have heard my cries in the night, my longing for this child. We will praise you our whole life because of your wonderful ways regardless of the outcome you are a good and faithful Father!
