Today's the day...

for our pregnancy test!  I can't wait for the dreaded phone call without some idea of what to expect.  I've done it before and was miserable so we took a home pregnancy test.  It was positive!!!!!

I woke up around 3:30 and needed to use the bathroom, but didn't want to get up to use it until I was ready to take the test.  Well, Jason wanted me to wake him up and I hated to since he was sleeping so good, so I lay there waiting, trying to go back to sleep, but couldn't.  Finally at about 4:15 I got up and told him I couldn't wait any more.  Very quickly after laying the test down the plus sign started to show up!  Needless to say we were thrilled and immediately praised the Lord by praying to Him!  How could we not when he's blessed us so much?!?!  I obviously wasn't going back to sleep so I got ready for my doctor's appointment and Jason tried to go back to sleep, but I don't know how successful he was.  :)

I did need to get the official word from the doctor though before I started telling anyone.  A little after 12:00 Dr. Denis called and told me the great news...that the test was positive.  My HCG levels were 91.7 which was great (I was thankful because with Raleigh they were low at 52).  I am just absolutely thrilled and feel so blessed.

Jason and I decided we'd just call our family to let them know.  I called mama, daddy, Todd, Cindy, Scott and Vivian and let Raleigh tell them that she was going to be a big sister.  Everyone was so thrilled  and happy for us.  Jason called his family and of course they were so happy too!  Everyone had been praying hard!

I also sent an email to all of our friends who have been praying for us.  This is what they said:
