He works in the most mysterious ways

Those who know me know our story. Late last year I was diagnosed with a ovarian cyst, or benign tumor. We were told that we may NOT be able to have any more children and that I was on a waiting list for surgery. We had put in our initial adoption application about 3 months BEFORE we found out this news so although we were disappointed and worried we weren't disheartened. A few days ago I was sent for some blood work to send to my surgeon to see if I was ready for upcoming surgery. Well I got a call from my family doctor today at 4:30. " Are you sitting down" he asked me ( this is NEVER a good thing to say to a person who has a tumor and automatically begins thinking the WORST)
"So it turns out you don't have to adopt ...because you're going to have a baby of your own"

..............................................................................................aahhh

I"M PREGNANT

After 6 months of prodding, poking and tests I won't be able to go for surgery anyway because I'm having another baby. Oh my oh my!!! I'm excited, I can't even express, but today my heart has also broken just a bit. Here in Canada once you become pregnant, you're pulled off the adoption lists, even the waiting list that we've been on for 8 MONTHS. I know that we'll adopt one day but after going through the paperwork, the criminal record checks, the medicals, I felt like I was "pregnant" already. I guess you call it "paper pregnant" I'm thrilled to be having another baby so is Dale and I assure you that although our plans have been altered ( in the most amazing way) our adoption story IS NOT OVER YET!
