It was Thursday, July 28th. Logan had bought me a new car (2011 White Z71 Tahoe) so after work, I stopped by to sign the papers. On my way home, I kept thinking how nice the extra room would be, compared to my GMC Acadia, when we have another child. Stryker fell asleep early that night so Logan took me outside to show me the different gadgets in my car. Of course, it was humid causing me to quickly run in the house telling Logan to show me in the morning because I was feeling sick. Logan was in the kitchen while I felt confused (& sick) of why the humidity caused this. I knew there were some pregnancy tests in my bathroom drawer. Just out of curiosity, I took one. It quickly turned positive! I couldn't believe it! How exciting, but also I kept wondering if it was a false positive. I ran into the kitchen. Logan asked me why I had a smile on my face when I was sick. I asked him, "how do you feel about being a daddy again, now?!" He asked for clarification as I started crying. I handed him the pregnancy test. He grinned from ear to ear & picked me up in a huge bear hug. We both were so happy & shocked. That night was mostly talking with short cat naps. We discussed everything: names, room arrangements, telling our families & friends, etc. Fear set in a little for me when I began thinking of what we had to endure from my last trimester of pregnancy with Stryker. We even texted Dr. Adcock about when are visit needed to be scheduled. Logan & I took a second to pray for God's hand to be with this developing baby as well as my doctor. We also prayed for strength to know God will be with us throughout this pregnancy & remembered we have the most knowledgeable & faithful doctor.
The weekend was filled with telling our families & friends. Friday night, Stryker walked around Coco's house with his big bro shirt until she noticed. Fletch caught on quickly but just smiled at us until Coco said something. Coco was in complete shock but became extremely happy about having another grandchild. Before church Sunday, we visited Mamo to tell her the news. She couldn't believe it & was amazed how Stryker had grown. It was a good visit since we don't get to see her much. After church, we drove to Springville to tell Logan's family. Grandmomma was shocked also. Logan's prediction is a girl. Our neighbor Lisa's prediction is a girl. I'm not sure but I don't care this time. All I'm hoping for is a healthy baby. Can't wait for this new chapter in our lives!
We saw Dr. Adcock on Wednesday, August 3rd. The ultrasound did not show much because we were too early in the pregnancy. The blood test results came back positive & with good levels. I go again for another blood test Friday, August 5th. I'll post the possible due date & details as we get further along.

This post made me tear up. I already knew you were expecting, but I love that you and Logan prayed about the pregnancy. I haven't even gotten the chance to meet Logan, but love him already because of the kind of husband he is to you. Congratulations again!
