A New Addition...

Well, here we are. I think in my heart, I always knew this would happen, but I still can't quite believe it is real. We are FINALLY pregnant! After 4 1/2 years of trying, many sleepless nights, countless doctors appointments, lots of praying, crying, and waiting, we finally got the postive test we have been waiting for. Kevin will tell you that I am not the most patient person in the world-far from it- and it has been quite a struggle. It has paid off in the end and I thank God everyday for the wonderful gifts in my life. We had our last IUI on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. It ended up being a very lucky day indeed! I was very nervous because this is the last IUI that Dr. W would perform before sending us to a specialist. I waited and waited, impatiently, and on Monday, March 28th, I couldn't wait any longer. So I took another test, fully expecting to see a BFN. To my shock, the digital read out said PREGNANT. Do my eyes deceive me?? I had to look a few times to really take it in. I screamed, cried, and hugged the dog. Poor Joe Lee. I don't think he has a clue what is about to happen to his life. I realized that I would have to wait several hours for Kevin to come home. He was at a referree meeting and would not be home until at least 10. When he finally walked through the door, I told him that there was a card that someone had left in the mailbox for him. He opened it and all he could say was WOW. The next day, I called the doctor. I went in for a blood test that afternoon and it was confirmed. To my dismay, the doctor wanted to wait 2 weeks before making an appointment. This is the longest wait ever! We told our parents and they were all completely shocked. Neither one of us had let on that the IUI could possibly have worked. I cannot wait to meet our little bundle of joy. I know that this baby will be loved and spoiled rotten!!
