So Blessed

Dylan and I always wanted to have two children. However, after the fertility issues I had falling with Lexa, the stress, the cost, the emotional roller-coaster and the toll it took on us, we decided not to try for another.

The main reason being, we did not want to affect Lexa with how upset and emotional the whole experience could be.

We were happy with our decision as we felt extremely lucky to have one baby in our life and honestly she was/is perfect. The hardest part about making this decision was having everyone else asking when's the next?

First thing, if someone struggled to fall with their first child DO NOT ask when is the next one coming! Even if they didn't struggle just don't ask. Let the parents revel in the love they have for their little miracle and respect their decision if they don't want to go through that pain and heart ache again.

I randomly got my first period in September 2019 while Lexa was still breastfeeding. She then self weaned herself from breastfeeding around 11mths old. I did not get my period again until December 2019, which is not unusual for me as I have PCOS.

I was surprised to then get my period on time in January and February! 3 months in a row! I was happy as it seemed everything I had done with my Naturopath has worked!

Then came March and my period did not come on time.. I just rode this off as my body and was expecting it. I then hit one week overdue and I was thought, okay so I've lost my period again.

Then I started to noticed my boobs looking bigger and that my stomach was not as flat as it had been. I walked past a window and worked and joked when I saw my reflection saying that my skirt made me look pregnant.

I had a feeling that I may be pregnant, but I never let myself believe it as I did not want to be disappointed if I wasn't.

I had an expired pregnancy at home so I used it and it came up negative straight away. I left it for a few more days and still no period so I went out and bought a pregnancy test; I bought 1 as I thought it would also show up negative so I would not need to use multiple tests.

Well that first one had one very clear line and one extremely faint line! Well now I needed more tests didn't I! So I went out and bought some more and two more tested positive!

I honestly could not believe it! I think we were both in shock first and then came the excitement and then panic a we were not prepared for two under two!

As we had not been trying, I truly believe that all that work I put in with Lexa with my lifestyle changes, removing the toxins in our house and us not stressing over falling certainly helped us get our second bundle of joy.

Even though I had now had our second bub, I am still in absolute shock that we were blessed with a second baby.

We also managed to conceive around the exact same time as both our kids were due late November.

I hope you enjoyed this blog!
