Lmao I like to say my 2nd chose us because of our lack of thinking :joy: she was born 2wks after my first turned one. I was ebf and had no periods and it happened. Never did that again. Now my others are about 2yrs in between

Iā€™m 26 weeks pregnant with my 2nd now my 1st is 15. I was 17 when I had her. Had to wait on Gods timing not mine for this sweet miracle.
