Crazy Faith

I started my blog with this song. And after today, it just seems like the perfect fit for this post. Tonight, instead of words, I have a video. I always promised myself I would document the important moments of this chapter...no matter how emotional. And 12 minutes of emotions it is. I'm so happy I'll always have this memory to look back on. (Even if I look like my face is melting off.)


If you don't have twelve minutes, you can forward it to around the 8 minute mark.
P.S. - I'm an ugly crier.  A very, very ugly crier. :)



Thank you. <3
Thank you. <3
Thank you. <3


I'll be back next week with more updates.

Maria!!!! I am in total full on ugly cry mode right now but my tears are happy ones for you! I am so happy for you and Steve! I wish I could reach through the computer and give you a huge hug! Congrats momma!

YOU ARE SO CUTE! I have been lurking your page all day waiting for an update, and I just watched your video and I am in tears!
It is SO obvious how bad you want this! I was laughing and crying the whole time I watched your video, and Ryan kept trying to sneak peaks at what I was so emotional over. I told him, and he watched a little bit of it with me.
Of course I already knew the outcome, but it was still so exciting to watch! I still felt all of the anticipation, and nervousness right along with you!
I knew there was a reason you cut your bangs! I also knew that when you posted a picture of you rubbing your belly, that there was already a baby in there loving it:)
I have thought about you all day! You, Steve, and that lil peanut will be in my thoughts every single day! Congrats again Maria!!! I can't wait for your next update with Steve's reaction, and everything else.
Pregnancy goes by faster than you think so enjoy every minute! That little baby is already loved SO MUCH. ahhhhh
LOVE YOU!!!

OMG!!!!! I am so crying right now!!! Jerry and I are both so happy for you. I just noticed you posted this as we were both sitting in our office and he was just as excited to find out as I was. You both deserve so much and I am so very very very happy for you both. You will have to tell us what happened when you told Steve and all your family they must all be so very happy for you. I could reach through this computer and give you a big hug and cry tears of joy with you. This is your year to go down this beautiful road and I am so blessed to be able to walk it with you. I can't wait to follow your journey. BIG HUGS

Maria,
This is my first time commenting but I have been following you from your first post. I am so happy for you. I feel like I've been through this journey with you. I think it is amazing how open and honest you have been through this and sharing it with the world. I have laughed and cried with your posts. Watching this video I was so excited, it was like being with a close friend in that moment. I'm so happy for you two. I don't think any two people deserve this more!!

I already posted on your facebook but I'll post here too. I just had a feeling that this was going to be it for you! Ever since last week, I kept thinking, WHERE IS THE UPDATE?! I was sure you'd pee on something before 13dpo...kudos to you for waiting that long. I watched the whole video and the anticipation was killing me even though I knew there would be 2 lines. And a dark line at that. Congrats!!! You guys SO deserve this! Can't wait to see baby grow over the next few months <3

waitingforarainbow said...

Hi Maria... this is me virtually SLAPPING you right now.
"Where did you get a pregnancy belly button ring? I hope I need one."
What kind of attitude is that? Your baby doesn't like it, I don't like it. Stop it!
What you should have said, was, "Where did you get a pregnancy belly button ring? I'm going to be needing one soon!"
I held the most positive attitude right from the start... you owe your baby all the crazy faith you have.
Anyway, to answer your question, I got it at a piercing kiosk in the mall. I feel I got it a little too late, because the bar was starting to irritate my skin as my belly stretched. Your best bet would be to get one as soon as possible, 16 weeks at the latest.

The metal* bar (from my normal belly button ring) was starting to irritate my skin

Cami said...

Oh Maria.
I wish you would have put a warning up like "do not watch at work" because I totally just watched it at work and I am now balling. Tears of joy <3
Oh Maria!!! I AM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR YOU!!
I will be praying my little heart out for a safe, AMAZING, HEALTHY pregnancy!!!!!!!
Can you move to FL so we can be friends? Haha :)
I think you are WONDERFUL!!!!!
LOVEYOU!!
Congratulations to you + Steve!

I love that you have this all documented. SO AMAZING <3

Oh Maria,

You are such a blessing. What a miracle and I am so happy for you. I keep hitting the delete button here because I start saying something to you and then decide to say something else...the bottom line...I don't know what to say other than "Oh my Goodness...what a blessing and miracle" Life truly has a way of creating the most amazing moments. I feel so blessed to have been able to witness your video and that special moment. I can't stop crying. Thanks for sending the message of hope and sharing. So happy for you and Steve.
