I'm married for the 3rd time in my life and hopefully God willing, the last time!  We have two preschoolers but we had no intention on having children.  My husband was certain he couldn't have kids.  I had two grown up girls and tried to have more children without success. 

God surprised us when one year after celebrating our first anniversary I got pregnant!  Sadly I miscarried that baby around week 9 but there was hope, we knew then there was a possibility.

I got pregnant again at 39 and even though we faced difficulties at first, our daughter made it beautifully and arrived to this earth the year 2003.  I had later on another pregnancy and I miscarried.

I thought that was it for us, parents in our old age!  But I was healthy, thanks to God and in the year 2006, our son arrived!  We proclaimed: "Okay, this is it!  Factory closed!"...or so I thought!

Today I'm 45, soon I'll be 46, my husband is 9 years older than me.  And we are expecting again!  It was a surprise,   But we received it believing is a blessing from God!  My husband tells me that if anybody asks how come he has children being so "old", he'll affirm he is just a late bloomer!

Guess I'll say: Me too!
