Wow, I have heard of so many cases like that where you go thru all kinds of fertility treatments only to get pregnant when you least expect it. One of my good friends did the fertility drugs the first time around and then got pregnant unexpectedly with no problem the second. Talk about something that's really in God's hands...That's neat that your 2nd two are close despite the sex difference. My 2 girls play together all the time, but I often wonder if that would be different if they were boy & girl. Maybe not...
How cool is it that you've had so many different career experiences! How did you go from sex therapist to astronaut? and midwifing--I think that is such an interesting, admirable profession. Sometimes I wish I had done my pregnancies with a midwife--I think it would've been a totally different experience. So, how did you end up in and out of each of these careers? BTW, I think the sex help website could be really big. There is a market for that I think!
It was a real bummer to go so far into the legal profession only to leave for something else. In fact, that was the reason I started therapy years ago. But law was never right for me. When my parents left me at college, I couldn't wait for them to leave so I could start making friends. When they left me at law school, I watched them pull away and cried and cried. Something in me told me it wasn't right, but I was just never very good at trusting my feelings. So, my feelings tell me to go into psychology (they always have...and it's all I read about, I am so interested in it and in people...) but despite that, I still struggle with whether this is the right thing to do. I won't know until I try, right?
Thanks for asking about my birthday! I had dinner out with my husband, no kids. It was a great break!!
