Miracle Boy

I know now more than ever that Charlie is truly our little Miracle. Last week on my birthday I was five weeks pregnant and I started to have some cramping. Of course I panicked because it felt the same as when I had my ectopic pregnancy, except the pain was on my other side. We went straight to the emergency room because last time I waited too long and it ruptured my tube...so I am only left with one. Come to find out it was another ectopic pregnancy :( We went into emergency surgery around midnight. By chance the OBGYN on call was the same one who was on call last time this happened to me. We were so grateful for that little blessing. Dr. McCulloch was able to save my tube! I am so grateful that I was in such good hands.

While I was in the hospital I couldn't help but compare how I was feeling this time around versus last time. I was so sad last time because I didn't know if we were going to be able to have any kids. This time I am still sad because I really don't think that we will be able to have as many kids as we want. But we have one, our sweet little Charlie. Last time we got pregnant the fastest we could after my surgery. Little did we know that Andrew's tumor started growing soon after. There was a tiny window that we could get pregnant and we did (and it wasn't ectopic). I feel like we were supposed to have Charlie at the exact moment that we did. I am so grateful for him. I know now more than ever that he is our blessing from Heaven. I also know that how ever many more kids we are blessed with, we will be ever thankful for them :)
