A few minutes later

A hug... some tears...
me: "Why are you crying?"
her: "Because I don't know how I feel."

Neither do I, though I had plenty of feelings to choose from!
fear, apprehension, disbelief, shock, puzzlement, freaked out, and somewhere in there a tinge of excitement.
Not quite in that order... actually all at the same time.

What do you say to your wife when she tells you she is pregnant and then starts crying in your arms?

Sorry...
I won't let it happen again...
Rub some dirt on it, you'll be ok, now get back out there and win!

None of these seemed to fit, and actually that last one should be in another blog somewhere.
Ok... so how did this happen?

...thank you captain obvious, that's not what I meant...

First we were told:"It is impossible, you cannot have kids, it can't happen, don't expect it"
Then we were told:"Ok, it is possible with major medical intervention, surgery, drugs, etc., and still only about a 60-80% chance "

So... here we are 10 years of marriage, no surgery, no drugs, no fertility treatments, we have resigned ourselve to the fact that it is not for us. Got used to a lifestyle that didn't include children. Even convinced ourselves strongly that we didn't want any of our own.

Of course, through out the years one or the other would start to feel an inclination, but never at the same time, and it never lasted long.
So, how did we end up here?
