Couldn't Wait!

Everyone knows I'm pretty impatient.  I didn't sleep well last night, so my BBT was taken at 4am (still high) and then I took it again after I dozed till 6am (dropped).  Ugh, I was so confused but I tracked the 4am since it was after 3+ hours of sleep (the recommended way).  Then I threw my hands up and took a pregnancy test...

Faint positive is still positive, so WAHOO!  We're pregnant again!  Of course, I won't believe it until at least tomorrow and a few more tests (including an eventual blood test at my Ob/Gyn).  This is mostly because I got a very similar faint line back in May when I miscarried, so I'm expecting the worst.  I'll test again tomorrow morning (after a likely stop at CVS this evening to pick up one of every brand of pregnancy test on the market!).  Craig also likes to see multiple versions of "YES!" before he accepts the fact I'm pregnant, haha!

How do I feel?  As in early pregnancy symptoms?  Well, I have been a little more tired (without additional activity or errands on my part), I am more weepy than usual for the time of my cycle, I keep peeing a lot (I hated this symptom back in May but I welcome any sign that I'm pregnant at this point!), and my "girls" have been slightly tender for the last two days.  One thing that has been the same for both pregnancies is how wonderful my skin looks!  This is supposed to change with hormones, but I can see a noticeable difference.

Mostly I feel blessed.  It's no small thing to conceive a child.  It is truly a gift from God, and I accept it with all of my heart.  The following is a prayer from www.2heartsnetwork.org, to Mary, Our Holy Mother:


Mother of Christ, you know, as no other mother can, the high dignity of motherhood. You know how immensely great is the privilege to call into this world a tiny soul destined to praise God forever in heaven. This is the privilege I now seek, Mary!

Confidently I beg you to assist me, for I know that motherhood is so precious in your sight. And confidently too, I hope for this blessing through your divine Son, since Jesus is the lover of the little children and has said that we should allow them to come to Him.

It is for this blessing that I beg you to join to my petitions your own holy intercession, that I might be privileged to bring to Jesus a little one such as He so dearly loves, that He may bless it, that He may bless me, also, in my motherhood, and that He may then make us both grow in the wonders of His Divine Life.
Mother of Mothers, Pray for me!
