Careful what you pray for....

Yes the pregnancy test is positive!!! Was this a total surprise?...YES!!! SO let me back up a little. On January 5, 2010 Lola came into my bedroom first thing in the morning, with hands on hips she tells me, "I'm not eating breakfast today, and I'm not eating lunch either!" I was thinking who are you and what did you do to my child? Because the first words out of Lola's mouth almost every morning are, "Mom, I want pancakes." So much to my surprise when Lola announced she wasn't going to be eating I said, "okay, Why are you not eating?" Lola replied, " Because I want a baby sister." Taken back a little I told her that you can't just go on a hunger strike and get what you want, life doesn't work that way. Still with hands on hips Lola teaches me a lesson, "I know mom, you don't eat breakfast or lunch, then before dinner you say a special prayer. Then Heavenly Father will give you what you need. I wasn't apposed to this concept of fasting. Am I good at it? No!! But we have fasted for children before and it hasn't worked. I told Lola, "That's great, if you want to fast for a little sister, I think that's a wonderful idea." About two hours later Lola came back to me and said, "Mom, I'm really hungry, can we do this fasting thing on another day, like a Sunday where we call all do it together?" I couldn't help but get emotional at that point because she had done the best she could do. She felt like it wasn't good enough and she wanted to try again on another day. I said a simple prayer in my heart to Heavenly Father, I am content with my two beautiful miracles. I don't know how you are going to let Lola's heart down. But then thinking to myself, Lola is a child she will forget all about this and won't be heartbroken. Can you imagine my shock when only a month and half later, I get a positive pregnancy test!!! I didn't believe it, do you know how many years and how many hundreds of dollars I have spent on pregnancy tests? I've stared at negative tests so long my eyes actually begin to see a positive line that is not there. Of course Danny and I couldn't allow ourselves to believe. So I went to the doctor the next day. Made him do an ultrasound even though I was technically only 5 weeks along. In the uterus are signs consistent with an early pregnancy. He took blood my HCG levels were 405. He said it would increase by 80% ever two days. My next blood test two days later were 885!! They more then doubled!!! Are you kidding me? I'm still having a really hard time believing this. Henry is only 7 mo. old. But we are so excited!!! Words can not express the JOY that we are feeling. The nurse told me today, my due date is October 25, 2010
