When We Think We Have A Plan...We Were Wrong

Just when we decide we know what our plan is, God shows us he has a better one!

So Ben and I had decided to adopt. We were both ready we had prayed about it and felt that it was what we needed to do. So we filled out all the paperwork, signed all the gazillion papers, and got ready to mail off our 1st check to the adoption agency. Before I went to put them in the mail, I decided it might be a good idea for me to take a pregnancy test, just in case. I am not good at keeping up with stuff, but felt like I was a little late.

I have never been more confident that a pregnancy test would be negative, but I took it any way. To my surprise, when I walked back into the bathroom I looked at it and saw two pink lines. I called Ben immediately and while shaking and crying told him he was going to be a father!

We have been a little nervous about everything, because of the miscarriage, but went to the doctor today and our baby has a heartbeat!!! We are 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and due May 3rd! We are so excited! Our baby is going to be so blessed to have such a wonderful father, grandparents, great grand parents, aunt, uncles, cousins and friends that will love it and help it to become the person God wants it to be!

Right now it may only be a heartbeat, but that heartbeat is already so loved!
