No tricks, just a treat!

💛No tricks, just a treat! Our family is growing by two little feet!!!!

In September 2019 I told Dane after many flashing ovulation tests (not ovulating) that I felt like we needed to buy another pack even though those things are like 50$...I'm tired of taking hormones each month and being sad each month that its not working. I had many MANY signs from God to follow through. To keep my faith. I would have a child. I had signs from a business owner I never should have came into contact with at work after a HORRIBLE day- but I was the only one there. Card says "trust in God"

The same day when I took my lunch break I went to the vinyl store and was upset when I saw a pretty pink shirt that said "mama bear" because I "wasn't a mother" but I was! I had my angel baby in heaven so I bought the shirt and wore it proudly.

 

So I was sure after those things that I needed to get more tests! The next one was still negative but guess what.....the one after that big fat solid smiley face!!! The doctors said I should ovulate between cycle days 12-17 BUT GOD SAID day 22! 

This day God told me I was going to get pregnant this month.
So a few days maybe a week later my friend Kristin sent me a devotional and told me I was on her heart and wanted to share it with me. I listened to it as I worked. This is what I took from it: October 11,2019 

After listening and writing this down I sent her this pic and told her thank you so much and that I thought I was pregnant! She said what makes you think that did you take a test? I was like no..God told me I would become pregnant this month and this just confirmed it!

From October 16, 2019 to Now ( Feb. 4th 2020) has been a whirlwind. October 15 I quit my job after reporting my manager to corporate. She had me doing inappropriate things that were not in my job description and I didn’t have the skill set to do. Like doing hair and makeup on the deceased was what finally put me over the edge. & it wasn’t fair to the family either I didn’t feel their loved one got the dignity and respect we promise not that I was disrespectful in any way but I wasn’t trained that’s for sure. ANYWAYS. I knew I couldn’t show my face after reporting her so I quit. October 16 (bosses day HA) I got a phone call from corporate that they had investigated the situation talked to several people and she had been fired and they wanted me to come back as office manager. I told them the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I wanted to think about it. They agreed. I was at Morgan’s during this conversation I had spent the day with her. I decided to go home and weigh all my options. Oct. 16 the  HAPPY DAY! I was on the phone with one of my best friends Shelby when I decided to take a test just because I knew it was about that time. & I wanted to know before I made my decision about work. When all of the sudden...a faint VERY faint second pink line popped up...uhm WHAT?! I blurted out to Shelby in a weird way hmmmm I think I might be pregnant! lol

So after many pictures and facetimes and some little freak outs, I ran to the store to get a Halloween card and onesie to give Dane when he got home from work! He thought it was his anniversary present. (;  I have a sweet video that I can't upload but my husbands reaction was swooping me up in the kitchen and saying "No more margaritas!"

After I told him I insisted two of the YAYA's Brianna and Morgan come over. They actually had no clue what I was about to tell them and didn't even get suspicious when I handed them both a gift. I told them I had been crafting (which I had, but little did they know I was making onesies!) and handed them pretty red boxes....

The next person I told was my cousin Brittni, I wanted her to take our photos to announce to our moms but I couldn't wait sooooo we told them! I was too scared if I waited we would lose the baby and then I could only share my heartbreak and not my joy. & we did the whole surprise gift thing last time and with our fears hanging over us we didn’t want to make a fuss if that makes sense! I have videos of our parents reactions too but I'm unable to upload them to the blog. Maybe I'll figure out a way to do that one day. (It’s one day, LOL)! 

And then Danes parents....papa had to go watch the news lol really papa?! 

I was super nervous for the weeks to come because I knew just like with Zoey Joy I was only a few weeks along and would have to have a ton of bloodwork and repeat bloodwork and scary phone calls from Drs waiting for them to give me happy news or sad news! 

But SPOILER ALERT**** our miracle baby is perfectly healthy! 

TODAY (10/29/19) IS THE BEST DAY EVER 💜 

After our miscarriage last time and having low levels I clearly have PTSD. So I’ve taken a million tests just to watch the line get darker for reassurance and my Dr has been super cautious about my blood work to make sure the HCG level is rising. 

When I found out I was pregnant it was a 39, kinda low but she said let’s retest in a couple days. Couple days later it was a 218- she said she was “cautiously optimistic” okay God you told me this baby was mine I’m trusting in you. Retest a week later. TODAY MY LEVEL IS 4,107!!!! My Dr just wanted me to make it to 2,000- and this baby (which I’ve nicknamed the twins) has surpassed expectations! 

Thank you thank you thank you God 💜🌈

Stay tuned for our first ultrasound and Christmas themed Baby Tibbetts GENDER REVEAL!!!!!
