So yesterday was the second round of blood work.. My appointment was later in the morning so Daniel wasn't able to go with me.. So I found myself going to get stuck with the big bad needle all by myself!! I have become quit the brave little cookie :o)
As I sat in the waiting room yesterday where every chair was full I was looking around at the faces wondering which side was everyone on? Who was on the victory side with me? Who was still waiting on the bench for their turn to bat? I listened intently to a couple who were discussing all the medicine RX that they needed to remember to ask the doctor to refill and discussing how they hoped this round would work etc. It was only 5 or so weeks ago that Daniel and I were having such similar conversations. There are no words that I can ever express to you that can make you grasp what an incredible miracle our child is to us! We have had a up close ride in the journey of reproduction and it truly is a miracle on how the timing for each and everything has to be perfect in order for life to be formed.
I got my blood work done and headed home for a nap before work.. Have I mentioned that I love naps!! Anyways the nurse called me late afternoon yesterday and said that the levels were rising appropriately and that everything was looking great and she scheduled our first ultra sound for Friday, December 12th. I quickly text Daniel after I got off the phone and explained to him that WE WERE HAVING A BABY!! For real every report we have been getting is telling us that we have overcome so that nagging fear that something is going to go wrong has to be silent!! Daily I think we are realizing that this is for real we have been so numb for so long we are having to re-learn our emotions. We are both so excited and thankful... We have been so encouraged over the past few days to hear the congratulations pour in from friends and family but most of all to hear how this blog has ministered to people... Some might be dealing with infertility others might know of someone that is and they have been sending our blog link to these ones that are hurting and longing for answers. For me that has made our journey completely worth it we have a story and a testimony and no matter how much the devil has tried to keep us silent or has tried to defeat us we will forever proclaim the goodness of our God! I am more in love with my husband and my Creator than ever before and their is an overwhelming sense of love for this new little one on the way!!

Keep taking those naps, your body needs all the rest it can get and don't feel guilty, if you are tired you are tired for a reason listen to your body! I loved my naps when I was pregnant too!
I second that Amanda, I felt guilty at first but then came to realize how very important those little siestas really are. Those babies need you to be rested up so they pull all they need from you easily to keep developing in there so sleep on girl=)
I have already passed your blog onto others I know that have had challenges as well as coworkers to be a witness of God's love and miracle working power still active in today's world!
Love you guys!
