14 weeks 

What a joy it is each time I remember I have been blessed with a sweet life growing inside of me. After praying for another baby for almost 2 years it was such a joy to see those two lines on a pregnancy test. I love thinking back to that moment when I first knew I was pregnant. We had a lot of friends and family praying for us. That month I had been wondering if maybe it would be the month. I took a test in the afternoon, although not clearly visible to the naked eye, I knew. I immediately started sobbing, I was so overwhelmed with joy and surprise. I walked out to the living room and got down on my hands and knees and thanked God for answering all the prayers and I prayed for our growing baby. I took 5 more tests that day, the second line was very faint on all of them. That night when Paul and I were alone I told him there was something on my tummy, he came to look and saw a little heart with the word "baby" inside of it. He looked at it and said, "what is that?", I am obviously not the artist in the family. After a long laugh I told him what it said, he was so excited but also hesitant. When I showed him the test he didn't know if he could see a second line, I admit I had a bad habit of thinking I saw a second line when there wasn't one. The next morning he went out to buy a "fancy" pregnancy test and after taking it there were those two lines. We are so excited and grateful! A story of answered prayer. Thank you Lord for this little one.
