It all started so many years ago. . .
My Dh and I desperately wanted children. We tried. And tried. And tried. We had unexplained infertility. For almost 4 years we went through IF treatments including Clomid, 4 IUIs, and IVF. None of our embies survived to freeze and $15,000 we were out of money. We were devastated.
The week (THE week) the doctor told me I had less than a 1% chance of conceiving without additional IVF, I found out I was pregnant. DS #1 is now 6.
Then, inexplicably, 2 1/2 years later, I got pg again naturally. We were ecstatic. We saw a strong heartbeat at 6 weeks and everything seemed fine. At 10 1/2 weeks, I went in for a check up and found out the baby had died. It was one of the most crushing experiences of my life.
After trying for 8 months, we had no luck TTC. We went back to the IF doc and after one lucky IUI, I was pg for a third time and I went on to have DS#2.
We are so blessed to have our boys. What a journey is has been. DH and I had talked about it and decided we were content with our family of four.
Then
2 weeks after selling ALL my baby stuff at a yard sale
1 month before I turn 38
10 days before DH turns 40
5 days before my husband gets laid off (thankfully with severance)
3 days before we put our house on the market so we can move out of state to be near family
And in the same month my husband was going to schedule his vasectomy
I'm pregnant! I pray all is well. It seems like such a miracle.
The odd thing though is YEARS ago, I had a vivid dream I got pg at 37 and that I had a girl. We shall see!
