We are almost half way!!! We will be able to find out gender in 11 DAYS!!! In between naps and feeling sick I can't help thinking that I know without a doubt that our bundle of joy is coming straight from Heaven. I can't help but rethink how all the pieces fell into place. On April 2, 2012 I went to the doctor, I spoke with him about trying to have a child with no success. He said that we were going to do a bunch of tests and get to the bottom of this. On April 4, 2012 I went in and had 8 tubes of blood drawn (without passing out... yay me!). That weekend (April 8, 2012) Ben and I were able to go to his parents for dinner. We told Dennis and Kathleen what was going on and asked Dennis to give me a father's blessing to prepare me for the tests and more importantly the results that I would be getting that week. A before we knew I was taking a pregnancy test on April 10, 2012 with a POSITIVE result. That night I announced to Ben that we would be having a "Little Buck" or a "Small Doe". I know that my Heavenly Father is the reason this all came together. I am so excited/anxious/scared for December to get here... but I can't wait!!!

4 Months!!!

I am almost half way there!!! I am 4 months pregnant... time has gone by so fast! I went to the doctor yesterday and I was able to hear the heart beat (147 times a minute)! He said that everything sounded great!!! We will find out the gender at our next appointment in 4 weeks!!!!!! I have come to realize what a miracle it is to be able to have children! I just need to remember that when times get hard (i.e. throwing up breakfast). So, many woman have the desire to be pregnant and be a mom. I am just so grateful for the opportunity I have to do all of that!!! I need to remember not to take this opportunity for granted. I am grateful for an intelligent doctor who knows what is best for me and an amazing family! I am also grateful for a husband who is always by my side!!!
