Were you on birth control or was this a sort of oops that wasn't all that suprising?

I'm certain that my DH will go and get a vasectomy before this baby even arrives. I'm OK with that, I guess. I certainly don't want to ride this crazy emotional roller coaster again. Plus, three kiddos is all I ever wanted.
My dh has anxiety issues, so I was very pleased that he came around so fast. I was sick at the thought of how it was going to be for the next couple of months. I'm sure he's a wreck inside, so i made sure to tell him that he needs to be honest with me about his feelings, that I understand if he's totally overwhelmed. That I'm his wife first. We're in this together. He knows that i wanted another one, it was no secret. but we discussed it and decided to wait until next year to consider it (REALLY bad timing right now... he's probably going to go to be a pennsylvania state trooper, and will be at the academy april-sept. I'm due 7-22. I hope he makes it to the birth on time. Plus several other issues). I'm not on birth control, we use the withdrawal method, (and it's worked for about 11 yrs!) but we drank too much the night of our halloween party and, well, here i am. I ovulate on the 12th day, and dtd on the 15th day. I believe it was meant to be. It was definately a surprise. I made him promise to not get a vasectomy before the baby's a year old; in case something happened to this one, I do want a 3rd child.
