After 20 years of being told I'm infertile, 9 years of marriage with no luck, 3 invitro tries, 2 successes, 3 babies and an untold amount of money spent on drugs and treatment, I found out 2 weeks ago that I am between 6-8 weeks pregnant. I've been sick since the 3rd week of July, caught every cold and random bug going around, been exhausted, my stomach has been bothering me, I've been very emotional, and here I thought I had an ovarian cyst or maybe post pardum depression! I was laying on the couch with no energy and here I thought it was me being depressed! That I had no energy because I was mentally and physically exhausted from the twins. Wrong.
Nope. Pregnant. Preggo My Eggo! Good Grief Charlie Brown. I never would have believed it in a million years if I didn't see it for myself. I went to the doctor to get meds, like maybe some Prozac, and some Zantac, and have them check for a cyst, and I figured, heck, I'll just pee in a cup to make sure they know without a doubt that they can give me whatever medicine I want, right? Right. The PA walks in and says, "CONGRATULATIONS!" I nearly fell off the table. I said, (as I cried)," I CAN'T be pregnant! I have 8 MONTH OLD TWINS!!!"
We are still in a bit of shock 2 weeks later. Jes is his usual self, completely freaked out and starting to push his luck with my patience. I'm adjusting, but at least I know the source of my heartburn. In retrospect, maybe I should have figured it out, but you know, when you KNOW you can't get pregnant, you take it off the list of options. So, let this be a lesson to you...Never Say Never! Heavenly Father is in charge, and his sense of humor is wry and wrought with suprises!
