After much anticipation, the call we got today at 3:04pm was bad news. My pregnancy test this morning was negative. The call only took 27 seconds, but shattered me.
By the grace of God, Eli's back was really hurting him this morning and he drove halfway to work and decided there was no way he'd be able to lift a patient, so he called in and drove home. I am so happy he is here with me.
I held up OK until Natalie called me and I heard her ringtone. Broke down.
I just felt so sure that our results were going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOO different than this.
I don't understand, but I am still trusting God.
I am thankful for all our friends and family who have been so supportive, loving, prayerful for us, and I know that everyone has been on the edge of their seats all day waiting for our news. It's so miserable to have to share bad news with you instead of good news.
I already told Natalie that I'm game for trying again, but it's a great expense both financially and emotionally for her and Adam, so it's too early to know what's next, but keep us all in prayer.
Love you faithful readers!

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my foot on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:1-2. This verse has sustained me when I wasn't sure if a healthy child was possible for us. My prayers are with you and Natalie. May you not lose hope & may the view from the Rock take your breath away. Much love!
Katie, We love you and will keep you all in prayer
