Terri - twins would be AWESOME...but then I'd REALLY be done and probably getting my tubes clamped LOL. As it is, until we add on the new master suite one of my kids is going to end up sharing with the new baby once it's sleeping through the night....we'll have to see how that goes. Plus side being they'll both be older in 9 months so maybe it'll work out, lol.
Cass - I'm torn on which I would rather have. Either would be JUST fine with me! But....see here's the thing. my son has been WAY easier than my daughter was. except for his penchant for climbing onto EVERYTHING..he's a totally laid-back, easy kid. My daughter...not so much. she's intense...super intense, and almost energetic to the point of ADHD but she can sit still when she wants to - she just doesn't want to. She's tough.
So, my first knee-jerk reaction would say "I would love another boy, my life would be much easier" lol BUT....everyone says girls are USUALLY easier, and that my daughter is just a little stinker. So...if a girl would be a little easier, I'd go for that...LOL
Whatever we have I hope this next one doesn't top my daughter for being difficult, boy OR girl!
lol Heather :-D!
Melenita - I wish I could say I had some trick, but it's pure, blind, dumb luck. My grandmother had 14 pregnancies and out of those...one stillbirth because she had cancer and her body rejected the baby, and one miscarriage...so 12 live, healthy births. M
y mom only had me and was unable to have any more children no matter how hard they tried...so we figured that my grandmother's fertility/childbearing skills skipped a generation, lol. I'm honestly grateful beyond belief that I can get pregnant at all much less this easily - after my daughter (my first child) was born, they told me not to expect to get pregnant again and not to expect to carry to term if I DID get pregnant. I had a horrible uterine infection after my daughter was born and the OB who delivered her informed me that my uterus was full of scar tissue and that I would never be able to have more babies. So when we started trying for my son, we thought "it'll take years, if we ever DO get pregnant at all"...but when we got pregnant the first month, it was a shock - we weren't QUITE ready yet, lol! When I asked the doc about the scar tissue at my first prenatal ultrasound he goes, "what scar tissue...?" so obviously whatever it was healed, thank God! But I was totally resigned to never having babies again, and I thought that was that.
And with this one..another massive shock because I thought we had timed it all wrong. I wish I could give you some magical advice, some secret tip...but all I can say is..keep trying and enjoy the process. I may not have had to try for long to get mine, but I do know the heartache of thinking you may not be able to get pregnant and it eats you up...but you just never know. sometimes it happens when you least expect it! <3
oh Ivy!!!! I'm so happy for you
i love how you say this is the last one....i thought the same exact thing and im having the last 2!!! LOL, maybe you will too
congrats!!!!
congratulations..... i WISH we were so lucky,,,,,, its an amazing feeling hey,,,
:-), i wish you all the best, healthy and happy pregnancy....
pssst... what is your secret to conceiving so quickly ...lol
Congrats fertile Myrtle!! LOL
I'm so happy for you, Ivy! A little jealous tho :) Everyone who was pregnant with us is getting pregnant again.
We aren't trying, but I really would like to have another one. DH isn't opposed to the idea, but he's not wanting to actually TRY either. His philosophy is "no prevention or intervention, we'll have whatever God wants us to have" . So, hopefully God has it in his plans for us to have another one sometime. Preferably sooner :)
Are you hoping for a boy or girl this time or does it not matter since you already have one of each?
Congratulations! So happy for you!
