I was married on August 24, 1996, this was both of ours second marriage, he had four small children, and I didn’t have any, but I fell in love with him and the children the more I was around them. He and his ex wife had joint custody and the children seemed to be adjusting with that. The oldest was almost five and the youngest was only eight months old. Well I had to learn fast how to be a step mom, I had four at all different ages and let me tell you, it wasn’t always easy! But as the children adjusted, so did I!
Well as the years went by, and the children grew older, so did I, and I so badly wanted a baby of my own. I sometimes felt guilty for wanting one cause God blessed me with four wonderful step kids but I still felt like something was missing. About six years into our marriage I found out I have diabetes, and I had always had trouble with my periods, well the doctor said it has every thing to with my diabetes. Well I would go two years sometimes without a period, and I would gain weight then lose some and this went on for years, well one month I had started and of course it was a bad one, but then I would finally have one every month on time!
So for about five years now I have had my cycle on time every month. Then in November of 2007 I was admitted into the hospital because of my diabetes and my blood pressure, the doctor told me I was a heart beat away from having a stroke. Well, I was put on insulin injections and about six other medications and I was doing much better, and felt better than I had in years! Then Christmas came around and I didn’t have my period, well I just thought it might be because of the different medications I had been taking, well then I was two weeks late, and I decided what the heck, I’ll get a test and take it, thinking it would be negative like all the rest I had taken over the eleven and a half years we had been trying!
