A Miracle? Serendipity? or Just Plain Funny?

So Jyll and I know this couple who wanted to be done having kids. After their last kid, a year ago, the woman had a tubal ligation. Done. Period. Right? Wrong. Two weeks ago they found out she is pregnant. They've been to the doctor to make sure it isn't ectopic and all that, and it isn't. It is a viable pregnancy. What makes it really funny is that they have spent the last year making fun of all their friends who are still having kids by saying things like "Sucker, in one more year we'll never have to change diapers again," and " It is so nice knowing that I won't be up all night with a newborn ever again." I guess God showed them. So much for running your mouth. Anyway, the funniest part about the whole situation is this: The couple is me and Jyll. Yep, we are the .05% of people who have a tubal ligation fail...and all the doctor can say is "Sorry, this has never happened to me before." In all honesty we can't complain. Although #5 is a suprise, with all the possible medical mistakes that can lead to suprises in your health, this is one that we can't possibly be upset about. We are slowly getting used to the idea of #5 and trying to re-adjust back to our old way of thinking about diaper duty and sleepless nights being a small price to pay.
