Thankful for life’s little surprises….

Welcome back!
Yes, yesterday I blog about healthy babies, at the time unbeknown to the fact that I have baby number 3 to be thankful for as well. Yes, yesterday after purchasing a pregnancy test I discover I am pregnant. No, this was not planned, in fact, apparently I am now part of a rare statistic. I am the 1 in 100 women to get pregnant with an IUD. Yes, I have a Paraguard IUD that I have had since April. They are 99% effective, however strangely enough I am in the 1% to get pregnant. Obviously, it was just meant to be because I believe this could only be a God thing.
I am a little nervous and scared because of the issues that surround or can surround I should say IUD pregnancies. Yes, some can be perfectly normal while others can have major issues. I’m praying mine is normal. I have had as I shared yesterday two perfectly normal pregnancies so today I”m praying for a third. I go to the doctor on Monday. Another thing that makes me nervous. Out of three pregnancies I will have had three OBGYN’s. Yes, after my son was born that Doctor retired, then after my daughter was born her doctor retired, so now I am on to number three. FUN!
I’ll keep you all updated….wow … what a surprise…now those of you with three children shed some light on it for me, will I have any sanity left?




Congratulations!
You are not alone on the OB front. My daughters were delivered by different OBs in different hospitals.
I figure I’m just practicing for the REAL baby delivery to be had at a later date LOL.
I look forward to updates on this situation – again…CONTRATS!
