When God opens a womb, He really opens it!
Since I started having children, I've never made it more than 10 months without being pregnant again which is absolutely amazing when you consider that for almost 10 years I couldn't get pregnant. I got pregnant with Katherine when Elizabeth was 7½ months old. I got pregnant when Katherine was 10 months old, miscarried and got pregnant again (with Annie) when she was 11 months old. Annie is now eleven months, one day old. I. Am. Not. Pregnant. And amazingly, I'm content. Not because I don't want more children, but because I don't want more children at this time. And since my husband says "We. Are. DONE. DONE. DONE!" I need to continue to be content in my unpregnant state. My OB says if we do it again, we can only do it once - my body bears the scars, literally, of three previous deliveries (c-sections). And with twins apparently being in the water at our church all of a sudden (three sets due within five months of one another) well, the idea of getting pregnant is scary! While I am overjoyed for these families, I would be so intimidated if I were to get pregnant with twins, especially right now. And Brad, well, he'd just flat have a heart attack right then and there. But how cool for Jessica, Deidra and Judy - to be able to go through this together.

Hey, Gina!
This is the first time I have seen your blog! It is always fun reading about lives of church friends who I, otherwise, only see in passing each Sunday!
Enjoyed your blog,
Krista
When my dr did my last c-section he told me that's enough, I can't have anymore. When he did the c-section he could see through the wall of my uterus. Could see the water. He said that if we waited another day, it would have ruptured. Scary stuff. So we are done. After three. Kinda sad though. Moving on to the new part of your life.
