Our very expensive surprise

In August of 2007, the day after having our fifth and final child, I had a tubal ligation. We kind of figured that settled it, but last week - just 25 months after the surgery - we found out that we are expecting baby #6! We had to make sure it wasn't ectopic and then wanted to wait for a heartbeat. I had an ultrasound last night and it was still too early for the heartbeat but there's a fetal pole and development looks perfectly normal. Looks like #6 is on the way! DH and I can't do anything but laugh. =c)

We have insurance but I'll have the maternity copay to contend with, and then all the expenses that follow with having another baby. WOW! But one of my clients has a store that sells thousands of baby items and he told me I could have anything I needed at cost (which is a savings of about 60% - I can see the numbers when I working in their admin system). I've gotten rid of some of the bigger, bulkier items so that's so awesome of him.

We are just amazed and so, so blessed!

I ran over to the Tons of Kids board when you hinted at this last week because I am too much a busy body to wait for you to post. :) So happy to hear all is well with you and baby #6.

I had my tubes tied about 2 1/2 years ago so I admit this story is freaking me out a little!!! LOL.

Congrats to your family.

You're right about that, Jennifer! And I love your ticker - why didn't they have those back when I was charting and temping? Thanks so much for the well wishes and good luck to you!

Thank you! And thanks so much for your kind words. It's gonna be crazy but wow, what a ride! I feel so, so blessed. What a miracle! This might even be better than finding the diamond that fell out of my ring, LOL.
