We found it!

Yesterday was the most beautiful, wonderful day.

It was the first day of yard saling, and at 4:30 AM, I just knew I'd find something amazing today. It was true, but in ways I never expected. Not only did I find a top of the line double stroller, a table with two chairs that is the exact same set that I had as a child, and Snow White items, but I found something else.

I found out that I am pregnant. Our rainbow is now on their way! No more seeking our rainbow, it's now here with us!

Everything that happened this week that started off bad came out to be a blessing in disguise. First, our car died on Bill's way to work. We have zero money for a new car, so this was incredibly stressful. But, my grandparents ended up also wanting a new car and decided to sell us theirs for very cheap with a monthly payment plan. This car is bigger in the back to fit more carseats, it's lower gas mileage, and in better shape. Our old car I've had since I was 16, and this car is only lightly used. It's definitely a big strain off of our shoulders, and possibly my favorite part - one day when we get enough money, we're going to fix up my old car. Then I'll actually have a car I can get around in when Bill's at work!

The day after the car died, Katie tried to show me a toy and ended up misjudging as she spun around and slammed me with it. Hello, black eye! Black eye kept getting worse instead of better, and eventually got infected. It was horribly painful, itchy, and I couldn't see right. So yesterday I decided it was time to get it checked out by a doctor. I needed antibiotics, which meant I also needed a pregnancy test. Because of the black eye, I got to find out I was pregnant much earlier than I would have otherwise, and it was fun for Bill and I to both find out at the same time.

This is the quickest I've ever gotten pregnant before. We protected against pregnancy in January, we NTNP in February, and we sort of TTC'ed last month. So there was only two cycles where I could have gotten pregnant, and the second one took. With Katie, it took us 4 months of trying and with Elizabeth, it took us 10 months.

I'm so excited that our rainbow is here that I'm just filled with joy. I thought I'd get scared immediately, and while I do pray every single time I go to the bathroom that I won't see blood, I'm not scared. There's no room for fear yet. There's just excitement and happiness. I see infants now and instead of it hurting, it's exciting.

It wasn't even 24 hours since finding out we're pregnant and we already have our baby names nailed down. I have plans again, like they just happen naturally. While there's always that nagging feeling in the back of our minds of "what if...", we're celebrating this baby like it's our guarantee.

I get to call the doctor's tomorrow. I can't believe it's happening now, I can't wait for this pregnancy to progress!
