A couple of years ago my hubby and I were told we may not be able to have children. Of course, we were disappointed but we both decided that what ever God had for us in our marriage was His perfect plan. We made a decision to put it into God's hand and trust Him. If we couldn't have children, then we would be the happiest married couple around. Maybe later down the road we would even consider adoption. Deep down though, I still long to be a mother. I didn't talk about it and for the most part we just told people we were happy not having children. But then, I would hear of another friend that was expecting their 2nd or 3rd child.I would have a little sinking feeling in my heart knowing I may never get to experience the same joy for myself. For the most part, I had peace and contentment, but to say I never dreamed or long to be a mother would be a lie. So, I began to ask God to take the desire away...but, He didn't!! Instead the longing seemed to increase. My heart even began to break because I had so much love that I wanted to share with a little one. This went on for a couple of years. Finally, my hubby and I decided it was time to get the final verdict from my OBGYN. If I could not have children then we would start looking into adoption. We set an appointment but it was 6 months down the road. About 3 weeks before my set Dr. visit I started noticing some strange things going on with my body. I thought there was something wrong with me.My hubby also noticed some changes and was very concerned. We both decided I needed to go to the family doctor. My hubby mentioned that perhaps I should take a pregnancy test to rule that option out. I told him no way!!! That would just make me more upset seeing that is was negative. However, my husband is not one to give up. So, finally I took one. Immediately, it showed POSITIVE!!!!! Could this be the reason I had been sick? A visit to my family Dr. confirmed that yes, indeed, this is why I had been sick and had experienced changes in my body. I left the Dr. feeling shocked and overjoyed. I called my OBGYN and told her I needed to change my visit to a prenatal visit. She couldn't believe it. She told me that it was a miracle! Yes, it is!!! I love it when God does the impossible. He is still in the miracle working business!!!!!
This is me at the family Dr.'s office. I was 5 weeks
This is me at 7 weeks....I started showing very quickly!!!!
