We have an Announcement!!

Does that say "pregnant"? Why, yes it does! It has happened!! After seven years of trying, going to specialists, trying two artificial inseminations, it has finally happened---without any help. You can only imagine how shocked, surprised, and at first, overwhelmed we were. On Wednesday, October 29, we had our trunk or treat. I told Heath a couple of days earlier that I thought something was different. I was late and just feeling different. He said, "I think you need to take a test." I thought, yeah, that would probably put my mind at ease knowing that I'm not pregnant. We stopped by Walgreens on the way home and I bought a kit that had 3 tests! I came home, took the test, and it immediately said "pregnant". I just stared at it and didn't say anything. Heath looked at it and said, "Holy Crap!" We just couldn't believe it! I was shaking, Heath was laughing nervously, and Wyatt wanted to know what was going on. So, we said, "Do you want a brother or sister?" He adamantly shook his head yes and smiled. We said, "Well, you are!" He was so excited. He has been asking for the past 6 months if he was ever going to have siblings, so he was more than thrilled.
We called our parents and they were just as shocked as we were. For those of who know what we have gone through and how much we have been fasting and praying for an addition to our family- it is truly a miracle. As we have started thinking about things it really is the most perfect timed pregnancy. I think I am due the first of July. ( I go to the doctor on the 18th). Heath's last day of his summer session in July 3rd and then he has 6 weeks off. I will not have to miss any work. Yes, I do have to go back to work after the baby comes- Heath doesn't have a job! But, we are so thankful that mom and dad are retired and mom is willing to help out. We also can't help but think that Grandpa Rigby helped get this little one here (he passed away in August). Our favorite holiday that we always spent with him was the Fourth of July (due at the beginning of July). A sister in our ward often talks about how there are no coincidences, just small miracles. My heart is full of gratitude and we feel so blessed in so many ways. We appreciate all the prayers that have been said on our behalf over the years. Prayers are answered and our Heavenly Father does have a plan for each of us.
