She exclaimed, "I'm going to have my baby before you because my water broke!" (I was due in July, this was in March.) She had her baby in August. Talk about ignorant - she didn't have a clue how far along she was in pregnancy when she'd been through it before! Grrr. I wonder if she ever had prenatal care - they would have been able to tell her a real due date. I agree with what many have said - it doesn't seem to make sense that people who don't take care of themselves have children, people who don't take care of their children have more children, but people who would be caring parents are denied the opportunity. I don't have an answer for that.

I have quite a few friends who have had to go the Chlomid, IVF route to get pregnant...some successful and some not so successful. For the life of me I can't figure it out. It took us 14 months to conceive our daughter and then we got pregnant with her brother the first month we tried. We talked about having a third child, but decided we were blessed with two, healthy kids. My husband had his appointment scheduled for his procedure and two weeks before the appointment we found out we were pregnant. We were only intimate one time without protection...once. It still shocks me. I will have a three year old, a two year old and a newborn. CRAZY! I will continue to pray for you that you are able to have more children. Maybe if you stop trying it will happen. I don't know. This life sure doesn't make much sense these days. It is so hard for me to hear all of these women struggling with fertility issues.

About 5 days after my 2nd miscarriage, a woman in the shelter for her second time with her 4 children told me she was pregnant and thinking about getting an abortion because she was pregnant by an African-American and her boyfriend would be angry. And the boyfriend - white and in prison for attempted murder. That's the only time where I almost physically harmed someone. Seriously, not sure how I stayed on my side of the desk.

They are 20 months apart and for two LONG years I listened to my sister and her husband tell me how "they just have to look at each other" to get pregnant. gag gag gag. After one family get together my brother in law told me that my decision to marry a "non-member" was the reason God wouldn't give us a baby. (Oh you should have seen the daggers fly!) Any way after what seemed to be an eternity we were blessed with healthy twins. We tried again when the twins were 12 months for a year. Nothing so we were content with our family. Then three years ago I had the flu. This flu is now two and brings us so much joy. This Christmas I wasn't feeling good. Hesitantly I took a pregnancy test...positive. I am expect another and we were on birth control. The sister I mentioned before, couldn't get pregnant again for seven years. They tried several drugs and she even had a surgery to see if anything was wrong in the "plumbing". They went to the fertility clinic to do IVF and the doctor told them to take a two month break then come in for the necessary drugs and shots. During this time our parents took all of my siblings and spouses on a cruise. She got pregnant.
