Faith versus wishful thinking

Nicole
So I am hoping I'm preggo and the other day I spotted a blue jay which is a favorite of mine. I prayed that if I am pregnant that I would see another one. Just as I was feeling silly and doubting my sanity I glanced over and saw two more beautiful blue jays. I laughed and told my husband that it must be twins. 
I want so badly to trust that God used those birds to confirm my request but I feel silly too. How do I balance faith with wishful thinking?
