My 2 Little Wonders

My name is Amy and I am a mom.  I never thought I would say those words.  But I am.  I have 2 little wonders: Parker, 17 months and Teagan, 3 months.  Yes, they are close together.  Yes, it was on purpose.  Yes, it is hard.  But they are the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me.  Some days I wonder what I was thinking having 2 so close together.  There are moments when it seems like I will never escape the piles of laundry, dishes in the sink, toys on the floor.  And then one of my little ones does something irresistibly cute and I forget I ever doubted myself.  My plan in life ws to be a career woman.  I didn't want kids.  I wasn't going to get married until at least 30.  Well, life has a way of changing your mind.  I met my husband when I was 20 and we married when I was 24.  We didn't want kids - not for a long time.  And when the time came that we finally decided to take that leap, we were met with disappointment.  Long story short, I had a series of miscarriages.  In February of 2008 I was told that I most likely would not be able to have children due to a chromosonal abnormality.  We were also told we shouldn't even try because I was building up too much scar tissue.  On September 4, 2008, my husband and I were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary.  We made love.  We didn't use protection or precautions because it took over a year for me to get pregnant the last time.  So what were the chances?  Turns out that was the day that we conceived my beautiful little boy Parker.  After Parker's birth, we were told that our best chance for another successful pregnancy would be to try again right awat.  And poof - 4 months later Teagan was conceived.
