Happy birthday! What did you do?

3 kids is nuts--my husband and I are outnumbered! After our oldest was born, we couldn't get pregnant again, despite our efforts with fertility drugs and in-vitro fertilization. Although we were heartbroken for a while, we finally came to a place where we we were happy with our one child and enjoying the things we were beginning to be able to do since he was getting older. Naturally, that's when we got pregnant again! Since we had unsuccessfully tried so hard to get pregnant before, we were certain this second pregnancy was a fluke, so we still didn't use any birth control. (You can see where this story is headed!) Six months after he was born, I was pregnant again! (My husband went in for a vasectomy immediately!) I do really enjoy having the youngest two so close together because they play together so well, and it's really sweet to see how close they are, even though they are different sexes.

What type of law did you practice? Did you just end up not liking it? Is it difficult to have invested so much time into law school only to find yourself wanting to go back to school to do something else? I've changed career goals about a hundred thousand times--sex therapist, astronaut, midwife, marriage counselor, computer scientist, to name a few. I never completed the schooling for any of them, though. I'm not sure whether or not that's a good thing. The result has been that I have a gazillion college credits that don't add up to a degree. I'm currently in school for computer science, and I've promised myself I'm going to finish, no matter what! Although I must confess I've been toying with the sex therapist idea again! Maybe I'll end up incorporating both interests and create a sex help website! ;)

It's cool that you're planning to become a psychologist. It's funny how some life experiences (like therapy) can change the course of our lives in so many ways.
