First, congratulations on your pregnancy. Second, I recommend that you enroll in a formal NFP class as soon as possible with your hubby so that you have the best chance of avoiding such a thing happening again. I've heard great things about the Creighton method, which is a mucous only method, and might work better during the postpartum period. Third, remember that you got through one whole pregnancy with no problems, and only had the DVT in the end of your second pregnancy. You are at greater risk because of your blood disorder, but with the anticoagulant injections, you should be fine. That reduces the whole thing to a financial crisis. Definitely stressful, but survivable also. Your husband is a lawyer, correct? If so, and if he is not a complete hack and loser, you will be able to pay off this pregnancy and the last one handily in the future. Lawyering is a good living, though it can be hard times at first when you're working all the time and paying off student loans. In the meantime, look for low interest loans and other ways to defer the expense if possible. So, having gotten those two concerns out of the way, we are left with having three very young children. That's going to be challenging, but you can get a lot of help and support through your church and other mom networks. Give it to God, and you will get through. God bless! Hey, Jen.

A new baby!
