My Life is Built On Happy Accidents!: A Sweet Surprise

About four years after Jackson was born, things were moving right along. I had finished the long and grueling year that was LVN school. We took a fun vacation to Disney World with the kids, and when we returned, I managed to secure a job the day I applied for it. Things were just how they were supposed to be. I decided in that month that we were more than likely finished with having kids. We had our girl, and we had our boy. The perfect American family. Jared had a good job, and now I did too. So we decided Jared would get a vasectomy.
We started researching vasectomies, and even scheduled Jared's first evaluation. Work was going well, and I was very busy trying to adjust to working and running the household. I was late, but didn't think anything of it since I am so irregular anyways. Then, one day at work I got really sick. The stomach flu was going around, so I figured I had it. A couple weeks later, and I still didn't feel right. I looked at the calendar and it had been 9 weeks since I had my last period!!! Had I been that busy? So we decided to take a test. And it was positive! I am pretty sure that I punched Jared in the shock. I mean things were going well, I was getting used to working, and I thought we were complete. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I finally got in to see the doctor at 13 weeks, and they did that first sonogram, she already had little arms and legs, and looked like a baby. I was super excited now.

Look at that baby! 13 weeks!

I had wonderful pregnancy other than horrible morning sickness the whole time, and one kidney infection. Livia actually decided to come on her own, on her due date! I told Jared the whole time I was pregnant she was going to be a spitfire with a personality all her own. And she definitely has been. She came out with a head full of dark hair unlike my other two almost bald blond babies. I can honestly say that she has been a wonderful baby, and she has completed our family. For good now! I can't imagine life without her! She has been another wonderful, surprise addition to our family. And I am blessed to have the opportunity to stay at home with her since I didn't get to with the other two. We are complete!
