My miracle child

babies | children | pregnancy

Although things can put you over the edge with your children sometimes, I have been blessed to have another child. And how I found out I was pregnant again, after I was told I wouldn't have any more children, is quite funny in itself. I do consider having him to be a true miracle.

15 years ago, I was diagnosed with endomitriosis, and was told that I would not be able to have any more children (I had one already). I was taking birth control to eliviate some of the horrible symptoms I was having, and I was not menstrating. I noticed that I started to get a slight bulge in my abdomen. I started doing sit ups, working out, watching my diet. Nothing worked. My pants were starting to get tight, I couldn't figure out what was wrong! One day while sitting on my bed, frustrated that I was gaining weight, I felt something. I knew that sensation. I thought to myself, "this couldn't be happening!" My first child was 8 years old. They told me I couldn't get pregnant, and for pete's sake, I'm on the pill!! I told my husband that I either had a kicking tumor, or I was prego. He laughed. I made a doctor's appt. My doctor, who told me I wouldn't have any more children, lifted my shirt and said "you are about 5 months pregnant". I about fell off the table! Before I left for the dr's office, my husband told me to pick up a bottle of non alcoholic champagne if I was going to have a baby, and if it was a kicking tumor, to have them admit me and get it out!!! Needless to say, I came home with the champagne. Eight years later, I have the blue eyed boy that I thought I would never have. My first child was from a previous marrige, and my husband and I never thought we would be able to share in the miracle of childbirth together. Miracles do happen!
