Positive... I'm Having a baby???

December 5th:  Tom and I received what I can say is the shock of a lifetime.  I was late and tuna became my enemy... I got my first positive pregnancy test on a $1 test from the Dollar Tree.  (Yes, I'm that cheap because I never thought it could happen)  I took the test and it had a faint line so not knowing what to do I called my mom and said ummm I think I'm pregnant...?  I asked if I could bring the test by so she could  look at it, she said it wouldn't do much good because when she tested it was always with the doctor.  So when in doubt you can always call your best friend.  I took my test in a plastic bag to Laura at Chili's.  She promptly told me that I was cheap (already established) and to go buy a real test.  So off we went to Walmart to buy the clear blue digital... Pregnant or Not Pregnant... Even I couldn't screw that up.  We got home I did the test and was thinking wow how cool is that it shows an hour glass as I was walking in to our bedroom.  As I started to tell Tom look at the thingy... the uhhh hour glass.  PREGNANT appeared on the screen.  Tom says I turned white as a ghost and just kind of handed the test to him.  I said I need to sit down... In all of my years I had never had a test turn positive.  I had suffered two miscarriages but I never knew I was actually pregnant.  Shocked, excited, jubilant, scared but overall happy.  I was going to be a mommy.  Little did I know what that would mean.

Hi y'all and thanks for stopping by and checking in on the progress of this little bundle of joy.  I wanted to start this blog because the story of baby Caroline is one that will inspire you, scare you, shock you and over joy you all together.  We have had a bumpy road getting here but we are still trucking and with the prayers, support and love given by our family and friends this little girl will be one precious gift to so many! 

I will go into details of her story and keep all of you updated as to how things are progressing.  I know many people have been through so much worse and those stories inspire me to hold on to my faith.  On my right wrist I have a tattoo saying 'Eternus Fides' it means eternal faith.

This is our story I hope it touches your heart like it has so many already.
