Hello, Friends!

My name is Ginny. I am married to a wonderful military man and we have two fabulous and amazing children. Norah is our first-born angel and she lights up our days. Maximus (Max) is 7 months old now and an absolute delight. He is a very happy baby and loves his sister very much.

There was a time when I thought I would never be able to have children, yet here I am...extremely blessed. This pregnancy is an absolute shock and I am waiting for it to subside. I think I will need some time with this one. But God has a plan for everyone. Often, it is difficult to understand. But the delight in knowing that your life is precious and will be rewarding (regardless) is a wonderful feeling.

This site, and meeting other women like YOU, has changed my life. I smile knowing that we are all in this together and that we can listen, support and confide in one another--during the most amazing and precious journey of our lives.....

We had to do IUI to get pg with Norah. I had a sperm allergy and a blocked tube so that was our best option. I got pg on the 3rd attempt. My pregnancy with her was normal and she was delivered by c-section after she went into distress after 17 hours of labor and my body only got to 3cm.

We got pg with Maximus mostly on our own. It turned out that I was about to ovulate from the good side so we were sent home with an HCG shot and pregesterone/estrogen and bd "homework". Surprisingly, we got pg that month! My pregnancy with him was uncomplicated, just tiring and I felt sick to my stomach a bit. I delivered him via c-section at 39 weeks.

December 31, 2010: Took 2 pregnancy tests today and they were both BFP! What? How did this happen? I am nursing Max (which does not completely prevent, I know), I have a blocked tube still and have only had one period since having him!!! Whoa...what a shock.

January 16, 2011: Trying to wean Max from nursing and get him on formula with a sippy cup. Today was the best day and we have found one that he will take. Unfortunately, my OB wants me to wean since it is a liability and they do not want me to lose the baby. There isn't a lot of information on the internet that supports this, but I have to do what is advised since I do not want to lose the baby. I will miss nursing very much but it won't be long before I will be doing it again!!
