At the time I just wanted to be pregnant, but DH and I did make the most of our time without kids. We quit our jobs and traveled for 3 months about a year ago.
The total joy I have over the pregnancy and the almost complete lack of concern about the things that a lot of pregnant women seem to obsess about-- I don't care if I gain a bunch of weight or if I get stretch marks. I'm not too worried about labor pain because at the end I'll have a baby! I was happy every time I had nausea and am happy now when I have heartburn because they remind me I'm pregnant and they're "normal" symptoms.

Honestly, really letting go and realizing that God is in control and not me. I am a bit of a control freak and I think He's pushing me to realize that I'm really not as in control as I think I am. Had it been up to me, I would have wanted a baby much sooner.....but since she came like she did, I think I am a better mother for it and can appreciate her much more than I would have if we did not have trouble conceiving. Also.... we were not planning on having another child SO quickly the second time around....and definately not twins. We didn't have to "try" (go to RE, do treatments, etc..... we were trying but it only seemed like real trying was doing IF treatments if that makes sense.) this time around and got two. I have to realize that His plan is perfect and I can handle anything that is thrown my way with Him. Honestly, that has been the best thing.... growing closer to God and my husband through this whole process.
I'm trying to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy! I'm not taking anything for granted as a lot of non-infertiles would do (not by their choice, just by habit). Even when I'm nauseaus or throwing up, I'm happy that the baby is doing well. I have a new found appreciation for my body and what it can do.
