Luck of the Irish! Win a Keurig & Year's Supply of International Delight!

I never would classify myself as someone who is lucky. My husband and I often joke that bad luck follows us. We've experienced a lot of hard ship, loss, and difficulties but one thing that left me broken was being told last May that after 4 years of fertility treatments we would never have another child. That is just wasn't possible.

When I was younger I was told my chances of having children would be slim and I'd have a long hard journey but as a teen it wasn't something that really effected me. Then I had Johnny completely unplanned and ON birth control. A few years later his father and I talked to a specialist about getting pregnant again and was told just a short list of things that we'd have to start doing and decided to wait. Little did we know we weren't going to be waiting at all. Just a couple months later we were pregnant again- unplanned.

For someone who was told there was a chance of never having kids I was doing pretty good without even trying. Then a few years ago we spoke to a specialist after trying with no success. We started the process and before long we were years in of treatment plans, drugs, injections, you name it. Last May I was told there was nothing left for them to try. Our chances to have another child were gone and I needed to move on.

My heart ached. Literally.

I felt broken and cried over and over again. Hubby started talking about our future and started making non-baby plans. By the time the 4th of July rolled around I was accepting that we couldn't have more kids and started to embrace the plans we were making. It hurt but it needed to be done.

Then in August with no explanation we received this:

We were shocked. I took test after test and even with all the positives I still demanded a blood test out of disbelief. Luck was on our side and after years and years of trying little Sawyer will be here THIS MONTH!

Now, tell me about the last time good luck was on your side?

After 9 years of trying to conceive I told my husband lets let nature take its course and if we remain childless, then we would discuss adoption or medical intervention. Two months later I found out I was 10week pregnant (hubby noticed first...I was distracted by the aftermath of hosting stranded ppl after a hurricane roared through town)! We were doubly blessed in that our 2yr old has a strong constitution and is smart as a whip. At 2yrs she keeps us on our toes by talking in complete sentences(budding grammar police like her daddy) and can bargain the cloths off your back! We are going to go poor keeping her in educational material. On a sad note we lost our second 9weeks into the pregnancy last Oct. It was a mixed blessing...more time with her, but being in our late 30s our healthy productivity is reduced.

I've been entering the International Delights contest every day and sharing for about a week now. Retweeted today. The luckiest thing that ever happened to me had to be the day I decided to take an EMT training class at our local fire department. I had no idea I was going to meet my husband there. When I tell people about him, I ALWAYS tell them that I am the luckiest girl on the planet. And I mean it - every single time!
