Sometimes there are rainbows....

Today has been a crazy day. And I'm a bit in disbelief... with both of my previous pregnancies it took us a significant amount of time trying before getting pregnant. I assumed that after our miscarriage in March it was going to be quite awhile before we ended up finding out that we were pregnant again. I didn't feel anything really this month about it but on a whim decided to take a pregnancy test and to my surprise within a few minutes a faint second line showed up. I didn't really believe it so a few hours later I took another test, and of course an even darker line appeared.

I was home all day just waiting for Colton to get home from rotation so I could tell him. I told him that night. We went and looked at a few houses that we are considering buying and were talking on the way home if we maybe want to build a house instead. I said that building would be great but I was a little worried that it wouldn't be done in time if we did. As I said that I held out the positive pregnancy test so he could see it. He wasn't looking right away and was just saying "yeah, I'd really like to move in somewhere by December" then looked over and was shocked and surprised. I really don't think that either of us thought that it would happen so fast this go around but he was really excited too.

Colton really wanted to tell our parents about it tonight so we told my mom when we got home by showing her the test and then drove to his parents house. That was fun because we had Elli go in and tell them that there was a baby in mommy's belly. Which was very adorable. We aren't really making a big deal out of announcing this time to the rest of family members since it was so recent that we did a bigger announcement to them, so we have just be telling them as it comes up but haven't really done a ton.

I'm hopeful that this time around things will be going much better, but I'll have to admit it isn't easy to not be nervous about everything with my miscarriage being so fresh. I just have to decide on a Doctor down in Cedar City and then I guess we'll know when my first appointment is.
