Luke 1:37

So we are those people.

Those people who adopt and then get pregnant.

You read that right. I am pregnant.  9 weeks tomorrow. 

I never really thought I would be.

 I am going to spare all of you the details but Sully and I have had the, hmm how should I say this, same “family planning strategy” for the past 5 ½ years. Nothing has changed expect our understanding of God’s plan.

Today, we had a consultation with one of the doctors we are looking at using.  A big banner hangs on the outside of the office.

“nothing shall be impossible.”

We are beyond shocked.  On New Year’s Eve when I got the positive on the test I sat on the floor in utter disbelief.  I think I am still floored.

I know that people say you should wait until after 12 weeks. Maybe we should but my mom experienced a number of losses, many of them after 17 weeks. We are never in control of the time we get to experience a life.   Genetically, I am at an increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth. I am choosing not to focus on that.

I am going to focus on that Luke 1:37 verse.

I was sure that pregnancy would not get to be a part of our story but God had another plan.

Nothing shall be impossible.

So say hello to our little gummy bear.
