A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

We had seen the fertility doctor. I had changed my eating habits completely giving up almost all carbs and sugar. I worked out non stop and took my prenatal vitamins, really, I had done everything the doctor had ordered. It had been a long few years hoping and praying to become parents. The two week wait was unbearable. I kept trying to prepare myself for another let down but every time I had a negative thought I was overcome with an overwhelming sense of peace. Heavenly Father wanted us to be parents. It was 2am on fast Sunday and I woke up from a dream. In this dream I took a pregnancy test and got an instant positive. I was so happy with my dream that I quickly fell back asleep. Then I awoke again at 3am from the same dream, another positive test! I wasn't supposed to test until Tuesday so I went back to sleep. I awoke a third time from the same dream at 7am and could not take it anymore. As I anxiously awaited the results of the test I prepared myself for the worst and again was overcome with a feeling of peace. I took a deep breath lifted the test and opened my eyes. I could barely see the filled with tears so fast. I immediately call Aunt Meredith to ask her if I was crazy or if I really did see those two lines. After I got off the phone I went in and knelt down by Ethan's side of the bed. I woke him with tears in my eyes.
Ethan "oh no you didn't take a test did you?? It's ok we still have too days it can be too early its ok its ok don't cry"
Me "How would you like to be a daddy?"
Ethan "Are you serious! Oh honey!"

The moment we had waited for had happened. Two little lines confirmed that our dreams had come true we were going to be parents.
