Just wondering how many of us have children who were not planned for? I have a 1 month old son who was not planned, but I would not change that for the world.

I have 4 kids, all unplanned but none of whom I would trade for the world. We didn't plan them but we did want them

I didn't plan but daughter, but I won't say she was unplanned. We didn't use anything, so we knew it was a chance. One we wanted to take.

Thanks for your response! I don't think you can ever be totally prepared for children until you have them! :)

The birth of my son was planned. But lets be honest. When the baby finally arrives you feel like you didn't even plan for it! Sure the room is set up and you have clothes and toys, swaddling blankets and a mobile hanging from the crib or ceiling. But man, that baby is such a big variable in the whole mix. Made me feel like I hadn't planned at all....

Yes I know what you mean! You spend months setting everything up and getting everything ready for the baby's arrival and when they finally arrive, you still feel underprepared.

Thanx for your response! I didn't believe the home pregnancy tests, and after 3 positives went to the dr who re-confirmed that I was indeed pregnant.
