I guess it is time to blog again. I have been thinking about this blog for several weeks. I love that so many of you ask me when I am going to blog again. I kept thinking I wanted to blog about things in the order they happened in my life, but I have been having the feeling lately, that this isn't what God had in mind, so today is the day I blog about our most recent miracle. 2 years ago, John had a vasectomy. You know that routine procedure that most men have as a form of birth control, so that we women can finally quit wasting money each month on birth control pills. Before the questions start, yes he went back and got a zero sperm count. That is part of what makes this story so awesome.
You can imagine my surprise, when the last week in April of 2011, I bought a pregnancy test to "make myself feel better" and it came back positive. I almost stroked and a stroke for John would have been mild. Of course his first question was, "Who is the daddy?" Funny this is a question that many people asked, but those who know me best know that really this isn't an issue at all. I went to the doctor the next day to have a pregnancy test done there - like it was going to change....haha! The nurses there weren't quite sure how to handle me when they confirmed I was pregnant and I lost it. They didn't even give me prenatal vitamins or anything as they were just trying to get me out of the office. To top that visit off - my due date was December 26th - seriously......
I talked to John through my sobs and tried to call my mom. Of course I couldn't get a hold of her, so I called my dad. I really just called him to see where my mom was and when he asked if something was wrong - I lost it (for like the 20th time that day). I expected some consoling. What I got was "THAT IS WONDERFUL!!!!" So I cried harder.... I finally got a hold of my mom who was as surprised as I was, but told me - this baby is a gift from God. So began 9 months of Godly winks.......to be continued.
