The title says it all…One year ago today, my alarm went off at 4:00am. I was supposed to be getting ready to meet my mom at the gym for a spin class at 5:30. I awoke as normal. Nothing to different there. The few days before this day I hadn’t been feeling all to well, but I thought it was just me getting a little run down. However, for some insane reason, I thought I’d take a “test”. I had one in the cabinet and it was only collecting dust. So blurry eyed I did the deed and waited my two minutes. When I walked back over to the test, I wasn’t expecting anything. We had been let down too many times before. I haphazardly picked it up and here it was. 2 pink lines. I didn’t believe what I was seeing. But there it was. The proof. God had answered my prayers. I was finally pregnant after several years of trying.
Victor was sound asleep all snug in the bed. I grabbed his foot and was jumping up and down squealing. The poor guy thought something had happened. He didn’t know what my deal was. I handed it over and he was dumbfounded as well. What a blessing we were looking at.
We ended up telling my mom too. We told her we were coming over that evening. We stopped and bought a jar a baby food. When we got to her house Victor took it out of his pocket and handed to her. It took her a couple of minutes to put it all together, but when she finally did…she started crying right along with me.
The journey to his day in 2008 was a long one. A lot of tears. A lot of prayers. God answers prayers in His time, not ours. The road from that day on was a bumpy one, but we made it through…and on 11-12-2008 @ 6:33pm, my amazing little girl entered this world. Miracles happen every day. And she is mine.
