The story continued!

Well, I didn't get too far yesterday, so I'm going to make like campbell's soup and condense things a bit,( I'm sure I'll write up the details a bit further down the line.) So anyway, there we were expecting Little Miracle number 1,and we were absolutely over the moon-my pregnancy went pretty well (except for having morning sickness which lasted 32 weeks, but it was a small price to pay for finally achieving our dream!)We decided we wanted to get married before the baby was born, so sneaked off to have a quiet registry office wedding, with only our immediate family in attendance-we planned on having our 'Big Day' a year later, so the baby could join us!
Little miracle 1 was finally born in February 2010 weighing 6lb 10oz, everything was great except for his very slow weight gain (I was breastfeeding) which I worried about constantly, at 8 weeks I made the difficult decision of combining breast and formula milk which he took to really well (but I cried buckets before making this choice, I felt like I was letting him down-but to look at my healthy, bright 16 month old now, I know that it didn't do him any harm at all.)
A year since our 'secret' wedding had passed and our big day was upon us, everything was ready, we planned on having a big outdoor ceremony with our little miracle (then aged 6 months) was going to give me away with my dad.
However two days before the wedding I was suffering with really bad abdominal pains and went to see the doctor thinking my endometriosis was back, knowing my history the doc said ''we'll just do a pregnancy test, just to rule that out'' neither of us expecting it to come back positive, she continued to ask about my symptoms and quickly glanced at the test,did a double take, and said '' well that's a surprise!'' Amazingly I was actually pregnant again, I couldn't wait to get home and tell Mr Lucky! unfortunately the joy was short-lived when the doc said 'but the pain might mean its ectopic so your going to need to go to hospital to get scanned.'
At the hospital I needed an internal ultrasound again (hello my old friend!) and Mr Lucky and I waited anxiously to see if the baby was where it should be, the sonogropher told us there was good news and bad- The baby was where it was supposed to be, but there was no heartbeat..she told us that maybe it was just to early and we'd need to go back in two weeks for another scan. We spent the wedding day and our honeymoon not knowing if we were having a baby or not, which was really difficult- but at least little miracle 1 was keeping us sane!finally the two weeks was up and we went back to the hospital for the next scan, I was filled with that same overwhelming feeling of happiness and relief as I did on 'official testing' day for little miracle number 1 when we saw little miracle 2's heartbeat flickering on the screen!
Just realised that I haven't really condensed this much at all! Anyway fast forward 9 months and here I am, a mummy of two little miracles,(both boys) one 16 months old, the other 3 weeks, I know that its not always going to be easy and everyday will have different challenges, but you know what...I wouldn't change it for the world!!
(I know the past two posts have been a bit long winded! but now we're up to date I'll be a bit more concise I promise!)
