Much to our surprise we are expecting a baby this fall. Once the boys turned one, Tim and I must have thought they were cute one day because we started having thoughts of having another baby. We even looked into doing IVF again. We made the decision to find a doctor and just go for it. Two weeks after that decision I had second thoughts. I told all my worries to Tim and we thought of about a hundred different reasons not to have another baby. So much to my surprise a month later I started feeling pregnant. Oh how I longed for these feelings years and years before the twins were. Now I just wanted to deny, deny, deny. For three sleepless nights I worried that I might actually be pregnant. Then the next day I sat Tim down and told him everything I was feeling and how I've only ever felt this way when I was pregnant. I thought he would reassure me that I was imagining things. But the opposite happened. He told me that he understood that I know my own body and that if this is what I'm feeling we need to go to the store and get a test. A half an hour later we were home holding a positive pregnancy test.
It truly is a miracle. Even though it was what we thought we didn't want. I believe Heavenly Father blesses us with what we need and not always with what we think we want. It will be difficult being on the other end of the country as we prepare to move to Pennsylvania far away from all family and also the fact that once the baby is born we will have three children under the age of two.
I wasn't really worried too much about twins again, but we have had an ultrasound and there is just one, thank goodness!
Just a little fact I found on the Internet. I was a little freaked out that it was even possible for us to get pregnant "naturally" so I did some research. I found out that 25% of women will conceive without medical help after conceiving through IVF.
