I'd love to have another baby, but since I'm not even dating anyone right now, that's probably impossible. Plus, my biological clock is ticking. I'll be 39 in November. So, if it doesn't happen soon, it probably won't happen at all. Which also is fine with me. I love my twins. I got lucky to have a boy and a girl. I was blessed with them, so if I never have any more children, I'm ok with that too.

I know Mary Beth's feeling of shock. I "accidentally" got pregnant two years ago while I was taking the pill. However, it was an EXTREME shock for me because I thought I couldn't get pregnant. I went through a year of fertility treatments to get pregnant with the twins: shots every day with a very strong drug, and I finally had to have artificial insemination. After my exh left and I started dating again, I was taking the pill, even though I thought I didn't need it at all, just as a precaution, because my doctor said it was a good idea. So you can imagine my shock when I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. I had a miscarriage, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. The guy I was dating ended up being abusive to me and I ended that relationship. Had I not lost the baby, I would have been tied to him for the rest of life (I shutter to think of that). I truly believe God was looking out for me at that point.

I figure things work out for a reason, even though we don't always look at it that way. I wouldn't have planned it this way, and it is very hard at times, but having my twins saved my life. Had I not had them to keep me going after my ex left, I probably would have become an alcoholic. But, I didn't have time for that; I had baby twins to take care of. Because of my high-risk pregnancy situation, and because my exh started running around when I was pregnant, I was very stressed all the time throughout my pregnancy. Plus, it became apparent towards the end that my ex could care less about the kids. So, if I ever get lucky enough to find someone who loves me and wants to marry me, and if he wanted kids, I'd love to have another baby (at least now I know I CAN get pregnant without help) -- and experience the joy of being pregnant with someone who really wanted it. I feel I missed out on that with the twins. I know -- "KEEP DREAMING ALICE; WONDERLAND IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER" (my favorite saying).

Don't even girl! My daughter has been asking for a baby brother all month and says she is getting one for her birthday (sept 9) so I am just counting the days to AF!!!

:S.

Although if I was - it would be awful - but great too. But I hope when it does happen I am a bit better prepared. Especially with certain health concerns. But you deal.
