On this day four years ago we found out about Lorelei. My tummy hurt. I bought a pregnancy test but did not want to take it because I had been dissappointed before.
So many times. I prayed right before the test, "Lord, be with me. This hurts my heart." And then I took the test. It was positive
IMMEDIATELY. The first breath I took was a sobbing one. We had been married for five years. Only took birth control for the first two months of our marriage. A surgery, three months of Clomid (which we stopped 8 months before conception), tears and prayers.
And then this. To a womb that was said wouldn't carry life without (human) intervention.
I always imagined I would tell Chris in some fancy or cute way. No. I called Chris and blurted out, "We're pregnant!" He coined the term "craugh" Pronounced craff. Which is a combo cry/laugh. And everyone that would have gotten a ticket that day was also happy for us.
To God be the glory!
