Ok, I am so excited until I can hardly contain myself. I have been religiously taking Dollar Tree pregnancy tests (why pay $15 for those "special digital" test when I can pay one dollar :), and I finally saw a second line. Hubster and I practice natural family planning b/c I am deathly afraid of birth control pills. Anyway, based on my cervical mucus, I ovulated somewhere between June 20 and June 25th. Well, you know what that means.... So fast forward one and a half weeks and I have come up positive on my home pregnancy test. The line is still kind of faint. Since I'm am out of pregnancy tests, I am going to the dollar store after work to buy more just to verify that I am indeed PREGNANT!!!! I'll test everyday for the next four days before I make an appointment with my gyno. WAHOO!!! I am so excited. This morning I joined with Hannah in praise to God:
Hannah’s Prayer
1 Then Hannah prayed and said:
“My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 “There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
3 “Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
and by him deeds are weighed.
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
and by him deeds are weighed.
4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry are hungry no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry are hungry no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
6 “The LORD brings death and makes alive;
he brings down to the grave and raises up.
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth;
he humbles and he exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.

“For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.
“It is not by strength that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the LORD will be broken.
The Most High will thunder from heaven;
the LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
10 those who oppose the LORD will be broken.
The Most High will thunder from heaven;
the LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
“He will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Lord truly you do mighty things. I praise you for this wonderful gift of life that is inside of me. May I be a faithful mother and wife. Thank you for entrusting me with this precious gift. HALLELUJAH!!
