A Miracle and Our Anniversary!

Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary and 5 year dating anniversary!  So, I figured it was a good time to share some wonderful news with you!

 

As I wrote my surrender post back in August, I had no idea how powerful of a post that actually was.   I had just publically announced that I was relinquishing all control to God to have a baby.  Little did I know that I was actually pregnant at that very moment! 

Yes!  You read that right…. I’m Pregnant!!!

I used running as my distraction.  It cleared my mind, kept me fit, and helped me relax.  I had literally got my mind away from getting pregnant for 2 months.  I stopped counting the days, marking the calendar, and peeing on sticks.  I was over it.   Just as all that happened, God showed me who was in control, and I got pregnant.  If this isn’t a miracle, I don’t what is!

The first sign of the miracle was when I unexpectedly saw this…

I couldn’t believe my eyes! 

I found a way to be content with my life, without constantly thinking about the emptiness in my life.  I felt joy and didn’t focus on the things I didn’t have.  We are THRILLED and ELATED, but nervous and taking things day by day.  I’m trying my best not to let the worry and fear of what could go wrong consume me. 

I am now 9 weeks pregnant and just couldn’t keep this a secret any longer!

We are hoping and praying for a long and uneventful pregnancy.  Please keep our miracle Greenie Baby and I in your prayers.  We are hopeful for a healthy, full-term baby that we will bring home to raise in our family.
