God has a sense of humor...

Well, today has been a whirlwind of emotions! I will start with last night.

We went to go see the new Batman movie and I thouroughly enjoyed it. I totally reccomend it. We came home and I was exhausted so I brushed my teefers and went to bed. Well sure enough I woke up all night long either having to pee or feeling sick to my stomach. It wasn't good. Well somewhere during the night I decided that I would go to the doctor today but first I would take a pregnancy test to rule that out.

Well, I woke up this morning with Jason and helped him get ready to go to his skeet shoot. When he left I got out the test and took it. As soon as I started to pee on it the thing turned positive. I was thinking" surely this is wrong, this can't be right." So I called my Best friend Katie and we went to Wal-Mart for another test. Maybe a different brand would have a different result. I took it home and tried this one. Sure enough it told me flat out, "PREGNANT" Oh my gosh! Now I am really excited and I have a rush of emotions going through me. What is Jason going to say? My mom? How am I going to tell everyone? How am I going to pay for a baby? Well just to make absolutely sure we went to the urgent care clinic to get a blood test. It took forever but the nurse came in and said she had a positive. I asked her what that meant and she said, " honey you are pregnant!"

Well I have been on birth control this entire time and Jason and I were wanting to wait until he graduated so this was definetly not our planning. God has decided that now is the time for the Marshall family to grow. We will obey and do as he plans for us. He has always provided and taken care of us. He will continue to do so. God is good.

God is good Jessica....CONGRATULATIONS!! I know the extreme range of emotions you are going through right now and it will all be ok...especially when you hold that little baby for the 1st time. Trust me, there is never a "right" time to have a baby...even the best planned baby brings about the emotions. Trust me, we waited over 3 years to have Kensington and when we found out we were pregnant, I was scared to death...how are we going to pay for a baby? how are we going to care for a baby? It's all working out just perfectly!!!

Sorry that was a whirlwind of a comment all to say IT IS ALL OK...YOU ARE GOING TO BE AN AWESOME MOM!
