Praise the Lord!

I went for my second blood test yesterday. 

• Nurses told me my HCG level should be AT LEAST 250iu/l for them to confirm that I am indeed pregnant. 
• My private gynea told me that if reaches 400iu/l and above it's good.
• Internet says that it should reach an average of 588iu/l for a 20dpo (days past ovulation) test

With all these numbers running in my head, I was anxious from the time I took the blood test till the time they called. It took them almost 5 hours before I got a call.

I felt a huge burden lifted when I heard, congratulations! You are pregnant. Your HCG level is 698iu/l. It's very good. Come back for a scan on 10 Jan to detect the baby's heartbeat.

I am so relieved. So thankful. So filled with joy. I'm happier today than I was when I first tested and saw "PREGNANT" flashed on the pregnancy test kit.

Thank you Father for your faithfulness. Your Word gives life. I receive and declare Your Word that says by the stripes of Jesus we are healed. If we are healed, then we are free from sicknesses and diseases which includes miscarriage. I choose to receive Your wholeness for my body and my life and this pregnancy in Jesus' name.

Oh did I mention that I started talking to the little beings in the womb. And I even prayed with them. I'm starting to enjoy this whole mother-child bonding thingy. 

Can you even tell that I've been so happy since yesterday?!
