It's surreal...

On December 29th I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. I took the test simply to put my mind at ease that I was NOT pregnant and that I missed my cycle just b/c I had been so stressed recently. As that 2nd little line started popping up (quite clearly) I was in disbelief. "Surely not," I thought to myself. It was around 6:30 in the morning and Jordan was still in bed. I had started crying when the realization of the very defined line hit me...it was a good cry, an overwhelmed cry. I walked over by the bed and said, "Babe?" He peaked his head out from under the covers and asked what was wrong. He said he tried to think if he'd heard the phone ring or if something bad had happened. When he saw the test in my hand he said, "You're pregnant?!" I couldn't even speak. I just nodded. He grinned from ear to ear and pulled the covers back for me to get back in bed. I laid down and all I could say was, "Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!" I was completely overwhelmed of the reality of what was taking place. We had not been trying to have a baby but we had stopped trying not to and just left it in God's hands. When He felt it was time it would all happen. It was His time...sooner than I had expected it to be but I'm still elated! We had our first doctor appointment yesterday and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant...I was relieved that so many symptoms were not just in my head! :O) I am about 6 weeks along. We have our first ultrasound on January 23rd. We both really want twins so we're believing that we will see 2 when they do the ultrasound. Last night I even dreamed I was hearing 2 heartbeats. Everyone has said that we would be the one to have twins and we have excitedly accepted that! We will know indefinitely on the 23rd! Even now it all just seems so surreal. Like a fairytale. I was the young girl who thought she'd never get married. I was the girl who wanted hundreds of children but never thought I'd really ever have them. To know that I do actually have life growing inside me really just blows my mind and I am in awe and wonder at God's whole design of creating these lives within me. They are already little warriors for God and we will speak into and over their lives every day. They are fearfully and wonderfully made! I can hardly wait to see them for the first time. So this year has already been amazing for us. We have moved into our new house and we will fill it up sooner than we expected to! God is so awesome and His timing is so perfect. We wait with anticipation and expectation for our little miracles to arrive!!! WOW!
