So on our way home from the airport, I all of this sudden started feeling really sick, like I was going to "be sick" in the car. We were tired from traveling with Caden (who liked to walk up and down the aisles of the plane), and I thought I was just dehydrated from the long plane ride. Chris looks at me and asks if I could be pregnant. My heart just about jumped out of my throat when he said that! How could I be pregnant? I was taking the mini pill and still breastfeeding Caden. He asked if I had any tests left and said I should take one when we got home. Well, I still had some left over from Caden. Apparently, when I was pregnant with Caden, I would get sick all of a sudden - I must have blocked this from my memory. Chris just told me to check. So we put Caden to bed and then I go upstairs to take the test...my heart is racing!
Well....wouldn't you know it! The test said positive, like really quickly - almost instantly! I didn't have to wait the 5 minutes or whatever it tells you. I was in utter and complete shock! I called Chris upstairs immediately and showed him the test. We weren't quite sure what to do! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it, is all I could say. What were we going to do? Caden just turned one! We weren't going to even think about another baby til he was at least 2, and now he won't even be two when the baby arrives! This is crazy!!!
So I called my OB the next day and explained the situation. I had to go in and get blood drawn to make sure I was pregnant for sure and measure my HCG levels. And then they scheduled me for an ultrasound on Friday. At the ultrasound, the baby was definitely in there! We saw its heartbeat and got to hear it too. 167bpm, nice and strong. The baby was measuring at 8 weeks, 2 days.
This was certainly not in our plans, but it must have been in God's plan! We have been blessed with another truly miraculous miracle! Happy Father's Day!!!
