God is NOT done

Last October, I met Dr. Steinkampf.  He is a fertility specialists here in Birmingham that some of my friends had been to and they highly recommended him.  DJ and I were not in a hurry to get pregnant, but I was in need of knowing why I hadn't gotten pregnant and what steps may have to be taken to do so.  They did some blood work on the initial visit and I felt confident in the team I met.  I was very nervous about going, but left feeling hopeful to at least learn answers.  I did not start any treatment, but appointments were set for more tests in the future.  In November, I used an ovulation kit as directed just so we would know if I was ovulating. It was part of the initial testing with this clinic.
December 13, 2013 I was scheduled for a hysterosalpingogram at Brookwood Hospital. My Mom took me to the hospital for this test.  She and I went in this cold, sterile room to get the test started.  I was nervous because I had been told that it was painful, but wouldn't last too long.  As I sat on the table, the doctor asked me to discuss specific dates so she could calculate my next ovulation.  She didn't feel like my days lined up and she was pretty confident that I was pregnant. She kept saying "I think there is an embryo."  I kept telling her that I really didn't think I was pregnant and to please complete the test that I was there for.  She kept saying "I feel strong that there is an embryo in there and if I do this test, the embryo will be gone."  I agreed to take a pregnancy test that weekend and that we would reschedule the test if I wasn't pregnant.

Why am I sharing this very personal information? These are already two ways that God has shown up and shown up BIG.  His timing has been impeccable as always and certainly no part of our plan, but his.  The next morning, DJ and I were getting ready to drive down to Montgomery to attend our nephews birthday party.  As DJ was brushing his teeth, I decided to take a pregnancy test to basically prove the doctor wrong and go about our marry way for the weekend.  I was the one proven wrong as DJ and I couldn't believe the test...it was POSITIVE! What?  We couldn't believe it. Being the engineer that DJ is, he had to see several more tests to believe the results.  We stopped to buy more tests that were named brand so he felt more confident with the results.  Test after test showed us that our doctor was right.  I was pregnant! We have been given a huge gift and God is NOT done yet! We got pregnant without any assistance, our "embryo" was saved from a test that would have eliminated it, and I have had a successful pregnancy! God didn't bring us through this last year to leave us once Dade arrives.  His plan for him is huge and more than we can comprehend right now.
