Sorry I have been MIA, but it has been a crazy few weeks after finding out that I am in deed pregnant with baby #2. As of today I am 16 weeks pregnant, and it is just starting to sink in. It was a total surprise and a happy one at that.
Given that my first pregnancy with Livie took 2 years in the making which included: a MC, an Ectopic pregnancy, months and months of negative pregnancy tests, followed by 3 failed IUI, lots of stress and finally IVF which worked and gave us a beautiful girl. So you can imagine that I wasn't exactly thinking that getting pregnant was going to be this easy for me. You read it in the books, and hear it from friends, but how does one go from being an infertility headcase, to a one-time-bamm-thank-you-mamm pregnant girl? And if you ask me I think it has a lot to do with pure luck and less stress.
As many of us learn the hard way, there are certain things in life that are out of our control (as much as we hate to admit). Pregnancy is one of them. I think that is one of the biggest lessons I have learned through my whole pregnancy trials and tribulations -- we have to learn to let go and let mother nature take charge, but I know that is easier said than done. But if we have to control something, let is be our level of stress.
Lots of stress led me to IVF, and no stress got me pregnant.
Week 16 and counting!
