She went from tears to a house full of children
Anna Saultz with her children, ages 5, 3 and 2.
“It was hard for me to conceive, so I went back and forth to Houston for a whole year to see the best doctors. Finally I was told, sorry, we have done everything we can but you’re not going to be able to be a mom. I cried and cried.
“Then one day, one of my best friends invited me to go with her to Mexico on a tour of several cities to help take the stress and everything out of my mind. She told me, don’t be sad. It’s going to happen. And I said OK, and I let it go.
“When I returned home, I started going to the gym and working out two hours a day, six days a week, just trying to forget all about it. Then, boom, I got pregnant with my son. Two years later, I got pregnant with my daughter. And a year after that, I had my other son.
“But with him, I had a very difficult time. I was on bed rest for four months and in the hospital for a month because of troubles with the placenta. I thought I was going to go insane there because the only time I could get up was to use the bathroom. I got very depressed.
“But in the end, it all worked out. Now I’m a mom who has three healthy children. I feel very fortunate.”
