I really want another baby, for many reasons, but I’m
terrified of trying to get pregnant again, and I’m terrified of being pregnant
again… I was so blessed to get pregnant, but I was TERRIBLE at it! Some people are glowing beautiful pregnant women, I was not. Every turn held more scary news and more complications, and that was after busting my butt for 2.5 years to get pregnant. Am I really ready to do that again?

| Remember when my feet looked like this? |
I’m worried that infertility will take over my life again, I’m
worried that trying to have another baby will take away from the energy and
time I have to spend with Marek. I’m
worried I’ll slip back down the infertility black hole again and somehow it
seems like I just made my way out of there!
I feel like I’m going into this round more prepared. I realize that statistically speaking I only
have 1 baby in that cryo-tank, even though I have 4 frozen embryos. But will I still be able to think rationally
about it when I get those 3 negative pregnancy tests, or worse, if I get a
fourth?
Will those failures send me into another downward spiral? Is it worth it or fair to Marek to even head
down this road?
And then I see two siblings together and my heart melts. My baby LOVES babies, he hugs (or tries to hug) every baby he sees. If I could just skip right to the baby part I’d have 4, but the parts before that are hard.

| He still kisses open mouthed, I hope he gets over that soon and doesn't start again until he's 20! |

| Are you sure I can't just give her one hug? |

| I need another one of these precious faces! |
Wow! Big news. I'm sure this was a big decision to make. Sending you sooooo much good luck. Come on Sher! Make another baby :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to so much of this post! M is the same as marek, he loves other babies and loves giving them hugs too. I really makes me want to be able to give him a sibling but I don't know if I want to travel down that path again. Like you said, just crawled outta that hole lol!
ReplyDeleteI wish you tons and tons of luck this August. Please keep me posted and I'm thinking positively for you that this pregnancy will be much easier than Marek's. :) xoxo
Ps. Missed your updates!!
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWant to know a secret? I'm terrified every time I think about you trying again too. Like, to the point of tears. I want this to be easy for you, and perfect, and right. I want there to be no more pain or sadness or fear. I would give just about anything to give you that. But in the meantime, I'm here... OK, so I know I'm totally distracted lately and a little crazed, but... I'm here. Promise.
