7 months old and thoughts on TTC

I can't believe that Reagan is 7 months old already. It seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.

I call Reagan my "miracle" baby. We made the mistake of having my tubes tied after having Jimmy. At the time in 1999 Christian wasn't making much money, we lived with his folks and my pregnancies are VERY hard on me. We thought the right thing to do would be to have my tubes tied.
WE regretted it right away. We knew we could have them eventually reversed but we knew it was VERY expensive to do so.
Time went on and on and we had no money saved. Christian got a great job and started making really good money, I was a SAHM....we waited.
We took some money out against his 401K but were still pretty short. Our VERY dear friends "lent" ( I say lent with quotes because they never had us pay them back) us the money for the tubal reversal. I came out of surgery and the DR said my tubes looked great!!

We got pregnant 2 wks later and we lost that baby. I knew from the beginning that something was wrong. I was not sick!!! That was in May 2003

We waited a few months to try to TTC again and it took 5 months total to conceive again. We found out we were Pregnant again in October 2003. We had a sticky baby!!

That is how we had Reagan. :) We were so happy that our surgery worked and were blessed with the sweetest little baby ever! She is such a happy baby. She loves everyone!! Hardly ever cries. We are so in love with her!!!

We are trying again for baby #4 and we just lost another lil one at Christmas time. :( I was not sick again and had a feeling. It was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. This MC was much harder.

We will try again in another few months and hopefully will have our 4th and last child. Our family will be complete.
