09-3-2009 - God's plan

My mood while writing this blog: blessed

Hey ladies! I was doing a lot of thinking today & wanted to share with you why I truely believe that this pregnancy was meant to happen. The circumstances surrounding it all pretty incredible. For one thing, this is only my second pregnancy in 17 years. During that time frame I often went long periods without birth control. I honestly thought that I physically could not concieve again. On sept 9th I went for a routine gyn appt. I was shocked to find out I was pregnant. This happened one day after my BF & I had broke up. We soon found out it was an ectopic pregnancy & on sept 16th I had the pregnancy & my left fallopian tube removed surgically. During this time & during my recovery my boyfriend & I got back together. On oct 6th I went for a post op check up & was supposed to have an IUD implanted. I found out insurance wouldn't cover it & couldn't afford to pay cash so my doctor RXed me birth control pills. I took them for two days & got very sick so stopped taking them. During the month of oct I felt pregnancy symptoms but thought they may be left over from the ectopic pregnancy. On oct 29th I took a test & it was positive. In hindsite I realize that Max was already concieved a few days before oct 6th. If God hadn't intervened & I would have gotten the IUD or cont to take the pill, I would have lost Max & probably never even known he had existed! I have always believed that every thing happens for a reason. Although at times I'm a little scared about what the future brings for me, I am sure that baby Max & daddy Malcolm are part of God's plan for me. And for that reason I truely feel blessed!
