Recap of when we found out!

I figured I'd start from the beginning....the day we found out. It was October 26th, we had been trying for about 5 months and this month I had actually gotten a positive ovulation test so I knew the chances were good. I was about a week late, however this had been normal since I came off birth control, but I had been feeling funny all week, so I knew there was a good possiblity. As soon as I woke up that morning I took a home pregnancy test....and waited what seemed like FOREVER! When that little smiley face came back I was estatic! I started telling Crim and Debo they were going to be big brothers and dancing around.....or course they looked at me like I'd lost it.....and Debo was just eyeing the pregnancy test. That's another story entirely, but lets just say he LOVES those sticks, so they better go in a trash can with a lid!

Anyway, Waldo was working at UPS and it seems like it took him forever to get home that day. I should have thought of a creative way to tell him, but I was just to excited. When he walked in the door I told him to close his eyes, then I held the test up in front of him and said open. I can't even remember what his response was, I think he ask if I was serious....I'm not sure. I know he was totally pumped and he gave me a kiss.....then automatically became protective and ask if I had called Dr. Edwards yet.

Shortly thereafter I did text Dr. Edwards who sent me to his office for blood work. My blood work came back around 5:30 that night, I remember because I got the phone call right before I walked into church. It was so wonderful to hear that sweet nurse's voice confirm that I was pregnant. Once again it seems like it took Waldo forever to get to church....but when he finally arrived I got to confirm that we were for sure expecting a baby and that we'd have our first ultrasound next week!!

To say that the Carden clan was excited or happy this day is an understatement. We had been wanting a baby so badly that I can't even describe what it felt like to have that desire become a reality. All I can say is praise the Lord, he is an amazing God, and he does know the desires of our hearts!!
