I've been grateful, praying and thanking god for letting my pregnancy grow. I'm currently 18 weeks and yesterday I told my husband the most amazing discovery.

In January, I made my wishes on my grapes for the new year for a new start in our family, a baby.

After menstruation week was done (December 29- January 5), I started my ovulation week. We were busy with the new year and my husband went back to work. Sex only happened twice. On the second try I walked with him to lock the door behind him even though he had keys. I turned him around and kissed him. We started a frenzy at our front door.

Yesterday I told my husband my realization that at our front door are two crosses, one that on the day we got pregnant was behind him and another above us (so that those who enter will not bid us danger).

And I believe that in that moment that god heard our prayers, wanting a baby since getting married 6 months before. And I love that idea in my head, I'll never give it up.

So I love to stick with this piece of the bible that I've read over and over in my head...

1 Samuel 1:27 

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
