Could It Really Be True?? *PHOTO ADDED*

This time yesterday I was completely exhausted and dehydrated from having cried my eyes out on my drive home from a heartbreaking gynecological appointment. After having missed my period for the second cycle in a row but being plagued by AF symptoms, I knew there had to be a problem. I've never been regular but Flo has always showed eventually, except when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, so I didn't hesitate to see my doctor. He basically told me without any preamble that he suspected I had PCOS. After six-plus months of unsuccessfully trying to conceive, it felt like a physical blow. It meant however more months trying to get well before going back to TTC. They took some blood and scheduled me for a sonogram but I barely made it back to my car before the blinding tears started. All I could do was call out to Jesus and repeatedly remind myself that I was okay. Once I got home, I broke down again while telling my husband and son, who both want a baby as much as I do. I apologized and they comforted me as best they could. I don't remember dreaming last night but I do remember my sweet angel boy crawling into my bed in the dark and wrapping his perfect little arms around my neck.
So this morning I went about my business as usual, doing my best not to think about yesterday, until I received a call from a number I didn't recognize. I don't usually answer but I did and it was my gynecologist. He said some of my blood work had come back and my hCG had come back elevated so he didn't think I have PCOS at all but am pregnant. I can't tell you how much it meant that God not only heard my cries but granted me mercy. Each baby is a blessing but this one is a direct gift from my Lord and I shall treat it as such, just like I do their big brother. Granted, that's if my levels have doubled tomorrow. Please say a prayer for us and keep your fingers crossed! Thanks for reading!
