We have been thinking a lot about bringing another new baby into our home. And since we have to go to the doctors to get pregnant, we have to prepare a little bit more than the average couple. I have to get a prescription to be taken at the beginning of the cycle and take tests to make sure exactly when I ovulate. When I ovulate, I call both the fertility place and my OB's office to make appointments for the next day. Travis goes to the fertility place first and then later we go to my OB's office for the IUI. Thankfully we have only had to do it the one time for both girls. Basically though, you pretty much have to pick a month and do it. There is no spontaneity to it. It is definitely, very much planned. I usually bounce some ideas of when to do it around in my head and then Trav's and then see how good I feel about it. This time I thought about November. I would be due in August so Trav would still be home for a couple of weeks before he started school again and we would be slow at work when I had to go back so it wouldn't be that hard at first. I felt really good about it and just planned on doing it in November. Then a few months ago, Travis suggested that we not wait that long. I asked him why he thought so and if he was getting some inspiration that I wasn't. He just said he thought we should go in earlier. I asked him how much earlier and he said the next month!!! Haha!! I said I would compromise and go a little earlier but not that much!!! So, October it was going to be!! LOL!!! Well, Heavenly Father truly does have a sense of humor!! He took matters into His own hands and surprise......we are expecting!!! The natural way!!! I was so shocked but I knew before that stick turned positive at the same time. I guess Travis was listening to the spirit more than I was. I know this baby is supposed to be here right at this time. I have no doubt about that. So, normally I'm a little more prepared because I usually have been waiting for so long before it happens but I guess we are going to have to be prepared whether we are ready or not!! It took awhile to really believe that I was pregnant.
