[quote=Anonymous]We are currently pregnant with #2.  Our first will be 8.5 and starting 3rd grade when this baby is born.  For various reasons, we had waited until our first was 4 before ttc again.  Then, one year in, we got ourselves diagnosed unexplained secondary infertile when our first was started kindergarten.  We weren't ready to spend the money at that point...that decision took another year and a half, and of course the clinic wanted us retested at that point.  So, 3 years into ttc #2, we finally did our first iui.  Got pregnant on try #2, then miscarried a month later.  Third attempt a couple months later failed, then we took some time off for personal reasons and the holidays.  We were about to go back to give it one last shot...and my period never showed in January.  I somehow after 3.5 years of no luck had gotten pregnant on my own.

We obviously weren't set on a particular age gap.  We didn't necessarily plan THIS big of a gap, but we're thrilled to finally be adding to our family.  Our first is so excited to be a big sister.

I guess on the plus side, we did have a little time on our side since we had our first in our 20s.  I think it would have been more pressing if we'd waited until later on.  This isn't a slight-I realize some people don't meet the one until later and other circumstances.  I was very lucky, I get it.

Anyway, we just figure this was how it was supposed to happen all along.  We're feeling pretty lucky that this is happening, no matter being a bit unconventional.[/quote]
