A Little Miracle

     I think I always wanted to be a mom.  My husband Aaron and I both love children and couldn't wait to start a family of our own.   I wanted to share my passion with others and became a Pre-school teacher.  After many years of taking care of and teaching other people's children, I decided it was my time to be a parent.  After being on birth control for 6+ years, in March of 2009 I went off  it.  After trying for some time with no luck, we kind of gave up.  In March of 2010 we discovered that we finally had gotten pregnant.  We told EVERYONE and started making all kinds of plans.  Our world came crashing down on us in April when, a week before my birthday, we miscarried.  We were heartbroken.  I didn't know what to do or who to talk to.  I was so angry.  And I felt bad that we had to un-tell everyone.  After talking with my husband we decided that we needed to wait a while before trying again.  I needed time to heal, emotionally and physically. 

    Our lives changed once again a few months later.  August 3, 2010 I was supposed to start my period, but for some reason I knew it wasn't going to happen. Aaron and I were planning a camping trip for the weekend with some friends and I knew I would have a few drinks, so I decided to take a pregnancy test, just in case.  Well, even though my period wasn't technically late, the test was POSITIVE! 

 I was so excited.  We didn't tell anyone this time until we were almost 10 weeks along, just in case something happened..  Well, 10 weeks came and went with no trouble.  We were pregnant and happier than ever.  When we told everyone they were just as excited as we were.  Our little bundle of joy was set to make his debut April 9, 2011.  Life was finally good again. :)
