Baby K is on the Way - Part 2

You all know the drill, I'm writing in real time - but not publishing until we have a little more information and are sure everything is ok with the baby. I'm apologizing in advance to all of you who have asked and I have boldly lied to your face. I hope you forgive me! :)

I have to be honest in saying that I think I have spent the past few days in complete shock.  Julie kept asking if I was excited - and of course I am - but there is still a really huge part of me that doubts that this is real.  Perhaps it's all the failed attempts we've had, or maybe it's just that I'm a bit skeptical to begin with - I don't know - but I just haven't allowed my heart to truly believe this is for real.

Bless Julie's heart, she has been worried about me I think...of course, she doesn't need to be - but I think her compassionate heart totally understands that I just can't quite wrap my head around this.  She went into her doctor's office to beg for an ultrasound, but they told her it was too soon.  She did take one of their pregnancy tests - that came back positive as well.  :)

With each piece of confirmation, my heart allows a small piece to believe this might be for real.  :)  

Today (August 14th) was my first day with kids at school, but was also Julie's blood work for the official confirmation.  As I was sitting at practice with my high school kids, Julie called with the results.  Her HCG was 283 - they told her not to rule out twins.  My heart skipped a few beats, but I am just SO excited!  

I will be back tomorrow with a little week-by-week belly pic update to get us all updated. 

Lots of Love -
