I know you will ask "How did this happen"

It seems odd to go from a Halloween post to this, but Miracles like this don't happen every day so I will catch up the last six months later. For now we just wanted to share what feels like Christmas a thousand times over. To say it nicely it has been quite a year. I have been suspecting my thyroid to be going bad since it happened to my two older sisters and I was certain to be next. I have not been well for some time and was determined that the doctor needed to order me a blood test so I could get it under control ASAP. I of course have not been in for some time so they would not order the test and insisted that I come in. I made my appointment and was not patient in waiting the month before I could get in so I continued to call. And call again. And again. Until they moved me up. I went in on my birthday of all days. I explained my symptoms to the Dr. and he said lets just look and see. He is familiar with all the symptoms. He turned on the sonogram machine and said
"There's baby!"

Of course knowing this was not really in the realm of possibilities, I cried. I watched in amazement to see the heart beating. Emotions were overwhelming as you can only imagine. It has felt like Christmas ever since, and every morning just a dream. We are due October 20th! It is really hard to find words to describe although the thoughts are running constant. Our Heavenly Father has a plan and He is in charge. Most people have asked "How did this happen?" I really think they wanted to know "How did this all the sudden become possible after so many years?" This is the golden question.
