The Test




        Ellie blinked, as sudden realization dawned like the sun’s reappearance following a violent storm. Acceptance quickly followed with an onslaught of thoughts.  

         Late night feedings, diaper duty, first steps, skinned knees, birthday parties, school graduation, worrying, a lifetime of joy: simply priceless.

  1. Well glad Ellie's happy about that because a positive result would have been my worst nightmare. lol Although with Russell I might've had one if we'd gotten together earlier, but the reality of it probably would've done me in.

    1. JoJo, with your comment I realize that it probably wouldn't be completely happy news for everyone. For me, it always was because I wanted my babies. The only misgivings I had were for the pregnancy itself because I always had a hard time. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  4. When I saw that pic, my heart stopped. The opposite emotion to what was depicted here. My daughter sent that same pic to me months ago but last month lost the baby. :(

    1. Pat, there really is. The joy, but also the worry...am I ready for this? Can I handle it? There can be a trapped feeling. So many emotions. I think if I found out I was pregnant today at the age of 46 I would be terrified. Happy, but definitely terrified especially since doctors told me I would never survive another pregnancy. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  6. =) Definitely priceless. My hubby keeps asking me if I'm ready for all that again, and I just laugh. What's a little more insanity in our lives?

    1. pixie, I remember getting this result three times in my life and feeling the same way. Although two of those times always were laced with fear since my first baby died. But I am very blessed to have two precious kids that I love more than life itself. Babies are blessings! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
