As you know we have already announced officially that we are finally expecting our first child after waiting and trying for almost three years. I also wanted to just give a brief story of finding out about our miracle and the journey it took to get there.
The crazy thing is that the exact month we got pregnant two years ago is the exact same month we got pregnant this year. It was a much needed blessing and we were so shocked at the timing of it all. I was three days late and sitting in church trying not to cry. I was going through what I thought were menstral cramps and I just didn't know how many more months I could take it. Not just not being pregant, but starting late every month and getting my hopes up that it might finally be our good month. Well the unexpexted happend! WhenI didn't start I had greg go to the store and buy a test. I really had him do this just so I could see the "not pregnant" and at least know that I could move on to another month without stressing about not starting on time. Greg went up stairs to do something and when I started to see the test turn positive I was seriously hysterical. I was yelling at Greg to "come quick!!!" The state thatI was in made him think that I wasn't pregnant. I then proceeded to show him and said honey.."were finally pregnant!" He held me so close and we just cried and cried together. It just did not feel real. It still kind of doesn't but my HCG levels continued to double and we got to see our little blueberry and the heart beat and I just can't express that gratitude that I have towards my Heavenly father at this time. We have gone through so many struggles at bringing a child into this life. From cysts, to chronic inovuation, high prolactin, a supposed tumor, surguries, and even kidney stones. I would do it all again!
We also want to thank everyone for the support and prayers in our behalf. We couldn't have done it without you! We love you all!
Greg and Melanie
