The Bells are having a baby!!

April 5th:

I'm preparing a mushroom white wine sauce for Chris and I's date night in. I'm a couple days late so I decided to err on the side of caution before we split a bottle of wine. Within 10 seconds of placing the stick on the counter I have two lines, my immediate reaction was there's got to be something wrong with the test. It's an off brand i've never used and it didn't have a cap (even though the instructions say to place the cap back on). I begin reading reviews and see that it's a brand that people actually prefer. So I wrap up the stick in a nice little box and left it for Chris on the coffee table.

His reaction when he opened it? Does this mean you're pregnant?

I still wasn't convinced that the test was right so I took another one...same results.

And because I didn't trust the brand I went and got a digital test...on Sunday...on the way to Cracker Barrel with my family. Sorry mom, I didn't really have a headache when you saw us stop at CVS. 

(sorry Cracker Barrel Owasso, but I needed to make sure with a test I trusted. It was a 31 year old married woman, not a pregnant teen or one of your associates, using your bathroom for testing purposes) 

Our little family of two's history:

In 2011, 3 months after getting married, Chris and I found I was 4 weeks pregnant. Which was  a HUGE shocker because I was on birth control. We went in for the ultrasound at 9 1/2 weeks and found out I had a miscarriage. I ended up having a D&C and the doc let me know it was just a normal MC and there was nothing wrong.  We began trying about 6 months later to get pregnant again. We were creeping up at the year of TTC mark and still nothing and I began getting frustrated, I mean I can get pregnant on birth control but not off of it? During the 2nd week of Alter Ego at LifeChurch.tv Craig asked us to write down something we were trying to control that we needed to let God handle. I immediately wrote down "getting pregnant". 7 Weeks later i'm 4 weeks pregnant! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!
