Well, Andrew and I had a lovely honeymoon. Nothing could have gone better (well, besides maybe spending a little more time at Disney theme parks) But the time together was priceless. I was ready to go home and begin our life together!
We got home December 25th 2011 late at night. Life was beginning again...whether we wanted it to or not. He worked almost 12 hour days (Mornings at a valet company, Evenings with me at his fathers Janitorial company) It was definitely a change from spending every day with me. Especially since we were barely making enough to get bills payed and our essentials.
We kept at this for about 2 weeks before something horrible started going on with me. Constantly sick, I got a UTI so 'Intimate time' with my husband wasn't so enjoyable at this time. We didn't know what else could be wrong. I took an antibiotic for about a week, and everything seemed to go back to normal. Just some nausea.
Then a thought came into my head-- I wonder if i am pregnant?? We were on birth control, but we found out 3 days into taking my Antibiotic, it cancels out the birth control. We had no idea...I started to get extremely excited, scared, overwhelmed...
I was ready to take my first pregnancy test (i had always looked forward to the day...so exciting ha ha) Either way...We bought some, I ran to the bathroom once we got home....Took about 10 minutes it seemed to open the dang box because i was so jittery and nervous! But no...After two minutes, it was negative. I was very disappointed.
Two days later we are in church ( week before Superbowl Sunday) and Andrew writes me a note saying "i think i want a baby...i don't see why we should wait..."(He had just gotten a new Army job that pays SO well, and i was able to quit my job) And I almost started crying right there. i was so happy! I always thought i would want a child first, but no. It was Andrew James who asked ME!
The following Sunday, we went to his uncles home for a Superbowl party...It was a blast until i started running to the restroom every 5 minutes to vomit. It was horrible! i just wanted to go home! I kept thinking "maybe the test was wrong...maybe i am pregnant???"
Finally, we went home, and i took another test..it was the type that you need two blue lines in one circle, one in the other to mean "pregnant" so i yelled from the bathroom..."Andrew...Andrew???" he came in and i hold it up and say "are there two lines?? i cannot tell its so faded!" he says "yes!!!" we look at each other Shocked! then just hugged :)
The next day i bought another test, a digital one. It also said Pregnant! the one i took the day after that said it too! Andrew and I were expecting our first baby!!!
A week later i went to a OBGYN to have it confirmed...there it was confirmed..i was 6 weeks pregnant!!! If you did the math, you would realize that i was already pregnant when Andrew told me he wanted a baby! I was about 2 weeks pregnant by what the Dr, says!!! So God opened my Andrews eyes to want a baby, and to want to try for a baby at the perfect timing!God works in amazing ways!!!

| Our baby at 12 weeks!!! |
People have tried to tell me that this baby isn't a gift from God, It's a lesson from a mistake Andrew and I made (the antibiotics) but i have pulled myself out of that way of thinking since last Saturday (May 05,2011) at 7:19 am when i felt my baby move. This is a gift of life from God!!!
It is now may 18th, yesterday was our 5 month wedding anniversary, and our 19th week of being pregnant! It is still a shock to us, but we are SO happy to be a part of Gods miracle of life!!!!
