I never thought that at 38 I would become a mother again, despite wanting to be a few years earlier ... But yes, we did it again !!
I always wanted to have a family of the same number as mine. From a young age I imagined having 3 children and being a family of 5 members. But just up to 12 years before this photo it had not been possible. Two years before this photo, I had had a three-week abortion and decided not to continue thinking about increasing the family, staying with my two children and enjoying them.
I am a primary school teacher and I was on vacation, and I went to visit my brother who was suffering from cancer and was in his last days, but nobody knew it yet, not even himself. He lived in the capital of my country and I lived in another state. Struggling with my feelings and doing the due diligence related to visits to the doctor and all that entails dealing with a sick person and giving encouragement at the same time that you require it yourself my feet began to swell and I attributed it to the busy time that I was passing.
The time of my stay in Caracas ended and I had to return home. When I had not yet finished unpacking, they called me from my mother's house to tell me that my brother had worsened and died. Without further ado, my husband and I repacked and returned to Caracas. It should be said that this was one of the most rugged trips I have ever had and my feet did not cooperate!
After having buried my brother and being home a few weeks later, I started to feel bad, it made me dizzy, the smells that were normal became very strong and in some unbearable moments and at school, the assistant teacher asked me.
"Esther Are you pregnant? And I replied: What? NOOOOO, but internally I had THE GREAT DOUBT !!
As we say here in Venezuela:
"To be hanging, the best thing is to fall" referring to the fact that things should not be delayed and then I decided to go to the doctor.
My doctor, whom I had not seen for a long time, was surprised when I told her the reasons for the visit and we immediately went to the consultation. She asked me a lot of questions and I stop by to have a review. She told me you are 5 weeks pregnant and I almost passed out there on the couch hehe! But everything didn't end there.
After one month of that visit I had my check for the month and the other surprise came just when I put the stethoscope on my belly!
She told me jokingly, you have three children in there and I told her, don't joke with me like this Sandra, please at the time she told me; They are not 3, they are 2 and she said to me, listen and placed the sound of the beating of the little hearts. The result? I almost passed out but I was so happy.
I have always said that God's time is not ours and that he will do with us what he should do, when it should
They came to be part of the Being of this family and that is what really matters.
8 months old
Today they are 10 years old and despite the condition they have, I am more than sure that it is never too late when happiness comes
