Two!
Wow, I have so many possible posts in my head, it's crazy. So here's one: I don't think my family is complete yet! I haven't told anyone, and I don't plan to for quite a while, but I so want to do it all again: pregnancy, childbirth, the works! I really want to give K a sibling, hopefully a "full" sibling if her donor is still available. I hope. I'm already starting to think about what I want to accomplish and put in place before I start trying again...I've even started making a few lists. I'm getting excited! The very earliest I'd start TTC-ing again would be next summer, but even that might be a bit too early. Then again, I ain't gettin' any younger! Oh, I don't know. I don't know what the timing will be. But in my heart of hearts, I really think I want to try again. When I think about my ideal family, there are three of us, not two. So we'll see. There is so much to think about and plan for!! :)

My RE told me that if I wanted a second I should start ttc when #1 was just 6 months old. No way could I have handled that, but I never quite got the dream of a sibling for H out of my head. When he was 15 months old, I conceived his brother. Just the other day, I looked at them in the rearview mirror and thought, 'they couldn't have a closer relationship even if they were twins'. Best wishes to you on your continuing journey.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very exciting news! Congratulations! It's encouraging to me that after going through it all you'd jump right back in.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I have been feeling the same way. Is this what happens when you have a 4 month old? Is it the honeymoon stage? I keep telling myself I need to wait until O is a toddler to make this decision (to see if I can really handle it, or not). But yea. I'm with you there.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great your already thinking about adding another little angel to your family! If the your past donor is still available, I would start stocking up as soon as possible. Although I'm still working on the first child, I think as soon as my IUI works, I will try to buy 4 more vials for sibling 2, just in case. I don't feel like it would be the end of the world if I couldn't provide a full-blooded sibling but I do believe that adding a sibling would be a positive influence in my child's life. Best of luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting!! I can totally see why you'd want to go for number 2!
ReplyDelete@Jo--I think you might be absolutely right, that this IS the honeymoon stage! I can't really afford to wait all the way through toddlerhood due to my age, but I've always felt that way, too, that I needed to see about the terrible twos (threes, fours...) are like first!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for your feedback!! :)
Hi Heather, I'm late getting here for this topic but I just wanted to add....go for it!
ReplyDeleteWhen we brought baby H home, we soon after received a letter from the province stating our file would be closed for 6 months, at which time we could re-open and apply to adopt again...and make no mistake, I have been counting down the days ever since! I love the idea of a sibling for H as well.
I'm so excited for you!
