well it is only February and what an eventful year it has been for us already.
in earlier posts i kept writing that i knew things were only
going to get better for me and eric...
and on January 6 that came true!
we found out that we are going to be PARENTS!
AWWWW!!!!
before me and eric got married we talked about when we wanted
to start having kids.
the answer for both of us was definitely NOT in the near future.
i can just imagine Heavenly Father just sitting there just giggling at us.
a few months after we were married i just kept getting impressions that we needed to start our family.
i really wasnt very welcoming to the idea because at times
i just think im still a just a little girl inside.
i'm definitely not mature enough to be a mom.
the feelings kept coming and i kept brushing them off.
until one day i prayed about it and got a very clear answer.
and let me tell you i was not very excited to talk to eric about this.
that poor look of terror in his eyes when i told him... i knew he thought i was crazy.
we talked, we prayed and we let it be.
one night before dinner i told eric to pray about it when we said our prayer over our food.
he still prays in Portuguese so of course i had no idea what he was saying,
and then all of the sudden my heart was so full and touched.
i knew what eric had prayed about and
i knew that any left over doubt i had about having a child was gone.
i KNEW this was Heavenly Father's plan for us.
a few days later we were off birth control and put it all in Heavenly Father's hands.
a month later we purchased a pregnancy test from the dollar store
used it
waited the three minutes
and raced to the bathroom
to see double lines and know that our lives would never be the same.
it's an exciting/ scary time in our lives.
but we know that this is our plan for us and we have a child up in heaven
waiting to come join us.
it was so surreal hearing the doctor say during our first ultrasound,
"Yep, there's a baby in there!"
as if the morning sickness wasn't confirmation enough for me lol.
we may be scared but we are excited for our little baby to be with us in September.
:) :) :)
in other good news
i have officially started school to become a medical transcriber.
it's been hard to work all day and then come home and do school too.
but it will be sooo worth it to be able to stay home when our little one comes.
eric started another semester and is working hard at school.
he works so hard, and im so lucky to have him in my life.
just a thought...
we really are blessed to have each other and
live the wonderful life that we do.
