When Jordan and I first married we both were very anxious to have a baby, but we understood we were not emotionally or financially ready for this step. This is when we made a Leap List of the things we must accomplish before a baby could come into the picture:
1. Leigh Ann must graduate with her Bachelors.
2. Leigh Ann and Jordan MUST have sustainable full time jobs.
3. We must own a house.
As you may know # 1 & 2 have successfully been fulfilled.
What you may not know is we are in the process of deciding upon a house we will (God Willing) buy this summer when our current lease is up!
In December we realized we were well on our way to completing our Leap List, so we began talking about when would be a good time to try getting pregnant....
- Should we wait to try in August, so the baby would be born during my Summer Vacation?
- Should we begin trying NOW, since it will most likely take several months to conceive?
In January we came to a decision. I would stop taking birth control, and we would PRAY to conceive when the time was right! It took my sister a few years to conceive, so it take at least several months right!?!
On Friday, March 2nd (a few days too early) while we were cooking dinner, I snuck away and quickly took a pregnancy test.... All I could think was "Of course it's going to be negative...."
After what seamed like a million years and lots of blinking it said...
Just one simple word.
I walked into the kitchen with a huge grin on my face and showed Jordan. He was in complete shock!
We both agreed that it was probably a false positive, so I would take another one the next morning.
It was positive too, plus 2 other test I took....
Jordan still wasn't 100% convinced, so I began the search for an OBGYN who could get us in ASAP!
