One year ago today...

I found out I had a bun in the oven. I didn't even remember, but John reminded me of it this morning. I had planned on taking a home test when I woke up that morning, so the night before I was anxious and my dreams were filled with pregnancy tests. It was weird. I woke up early that morning and snuck into the bathroom thinking that John was still asleep. But when I emerged John was wide awake looking at me waiting on the answer. I just knew it was going to be negative, so I was in complete shock to see a positive test! We weren't planning on having a baby then, so I was in utter disbelief. And not to reveal anything that's TMI, but I didn't think it was even possible for me to get pregnant at the time, or at least very, very unlikely. I was taking the test pretty much to make sure it was negative before I called the doctor about my issues. But low and behold, God had other plans.

I had a nervous feeling in my stomach all morning waiting on the doctors' office to open so I could go in for blood work. I called and they said they usually just go by a positive home test. I said, "No, you don't understand. This isn't possible. I want it confirmed by blood work." So I went in to the doctor, and they confirmed that I was almost 6 weeks along. I think the shock lasted for a few more weeks. We were excited but never could have anticipated the blessing that Curran is to us!

And here we are a year later with a four month old! It's crazy how life turns out sometimes.
