This year we have welcomed 3 adorable nephews into the world. Jake, Nicolas, and Jaxon are some of the cutest babies I've seen in years, and I'm not just saying that because they are our nephews! Being so far away is rough but we visit when we can.
Waiting for all of these boys to be born & seeing so many close friends enjoying their babies, Justin and I got the 'baby bug'. Crazy enough after having two kiddos at a young age, here I was at 28 with no cycle for a year. No birth control for 7 months while hubby was deployed and still, no cycle. At first we thought we were pregnant the first birth control free month, but test after test came up negative. And if you didn't know... you can't become pregnant when your husband is deployed... so I waited. After 6 months of no cycle I headed to the GYN. I started meds to bring on a cycle. One month success, the next nothing. This continued through-out deployment. Justin gets back and my GYN put me on Clomid. If there's one thing military wives know, it's that 'deployment babies' happen quite often. With the guy gone for so long, the woman not on birth control... he returns and BAM! Month one they are pregnant. That wasn't us, even with Clomid.
Christmas time 2011 and I'm gagging at everything... we have family members who smoke and it's always bothered me and Justin. I just assumed that was it considering I didn't have a cycle in October or November again. But sure enough, I was pregnant!
So excited to be expecting baby #3! What a blessing!
