Mom's Unknowing Hope

My mom is a very good mother and I love her dearly.  She along with my dad both thought I was nuts to have another baby after I had the "perfect" family in their eyes.  I was just like them, a girl and a boy, just like myself and my brother.  They could not comprehend my desire for another baby because it wasn't what they would do.

There was a small part of my motivation to get pregnant a third time just in spite of my mom.  To rebel against what she thought I should do, yes I know, immaturity and I was nearly 30.  It was my last childish hurrah--cut me a break!

After I was thoroughly punished for my above mentioned actions with a miserable pregnancy (just kidding I know that isn't the reason...I hope!) for number three, my parents had a lot of fuel as to why I should be done.  Blood pressure issues, migraines, sickness, exhaustion, and all that came with it.  Believe me it wasn't even a hard sell, but you would have thought mom was about to make her millionth sale for an all-inclusive vacation reward.

Anyway, in May of 2010, I was talking to my mom when she told me about this guy she knew who had his vasectomy of 25 years reversed and got his girlfriend pregnant.  I couldn't believe it!  I revealed probably more than I should have about what I knew of vasectomy reversals--she never questioned it, but if she was paying attention she would have known exactly what I have been thinking.

Well, that got me searching a little differently.  Instead of searching for the negative, the failure I started looking into success stories.  That led me to nearby clinics and mirco-surgery!  Of course, micro-surgery!!

Then I started looking into doctors that offered the procedure at a reduced cost as a ministry.  WOW!  $5500,  $3500 and believe it or not some doctor in Oklahoma charged less that $2000!  I could not believe all that I found.

The most important thing I found of all was a new hope.  But in Oklahoma???
