Hello Everyone...<P>So much has been going on in my life as of late and it has been keeping me so VERY VERY busy!!! <P>I started a new job, my 2 kids are both in school now and my H is doing really well at his job and is looking at getting a promotion in the near future.<P>But here is the biggest news of all!!! It seems as if I may be pregnant with #3!?!?!<P>I am not sure yet and I am kinda scared to know for sure I guess. We were done with having children, we have a boy and a girl and felt that was enough as we had one of each. But it seems as if God may have another plan for us.<P>And if I am expecting again... it is TRULY a gift from GOD, as my H had a vasectomy after the birth of our second child. But there is a possibility obviously that something has gone wrong with that due to a recent surgery he had.<P>I know what many of you may be thinking... that perhaps I stepped out on my H but that couldn't be farther from the truth b/c that is something that I could never and would never do!!! But I can understand because if the shoe was on the other foot, I would think exactly the same thing.<P>I was so afraid to tell my H as I thought that he would think the same but he doesn't. He knows me and knows that I could never do that. I am very fortunate b/c I could just see HELL around the corner, instead I found love, acceptance and even a little excitement [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>That is why I say that if this does come to pass that I am expecting our third child... it is a true gift from GOD. Of course, I feel that each and every child born is a gift from God but somehow due to the circumstances, this seems like an extra special gift.<P>Just goes to show me that when God has a plan for you, that nothing stands in his way.<P>However, I just found out last night that my grandmother started menopause at age 30 and I will be 30 in November but that one is a little hard to swallow. Guess I would rather be pregnant rather than feel that much older with menopause [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]. Guess it is a woman thing...lol.<P>Anyway, that is my update and I will let you guess know later if congradulations are really in order or if this was just a false alarm.<P>I am not sure what I am exactly hoping for. Another child is exciting in some ways and very frightening in others as I had difficulty delivering my other two children but like I said this was not in "our plans" but if it is "God's plan" for us then something must be right about it and I pray for God's will to be done.<P>That is all for now.<P>Genie29<P>

Thanks Everyone for your support and congradulations, but....<P>I must report that I am not expecting [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>I am a little relieved but I am also disappointed at the same time.<P>I guess I had kinda gotten used to the idea after suspecting for about 2 1/2 weeks, but what can ya do?<P>Genie

Isn't it strange how that works. You get used to an idea, then you have to get used to not being used to it.<P>Congrats on all of your other successes.<P>------------------<BR>Jim Lewis<BR><A HREF="http://marriedadults.net/forum" TARGET=_blank>The Forums at Married Adults.com</A>

Hi Genie,<P>Just wanted you to know that I was following your post. I'm very glad to hear that your life appears to be on the upturn again. I'm a firm believer in that eveything happens for a reason. Could be this was HIS way of allowing H to show you that he really loves you and will support you, no matter what.
