It seems as if every other day, I'm finding out that somebody else is pregnant and giving their child a sibling. I'm really happy for them, but I can't help to be sad and depressed everytime I hear of another. I would love to give my son a baby sister or brother but its just not to be. When I hear of another pregnancy and I get depressed and feel sorry for myself, that's when I need to pick up my baby (who is actually turning 2 in 3 weeks -eeek!) and give him lots of hugs and kisses and be thankful for him because he was truely a miracle.
After 2 failed IVF treatments, we were 3rd time lucky and got a beautiful boy in 1998. A few months ago, I jumped back onto the IVF train and started going through treatment. Twice. And both came out negative.
So we are done and just have to hang on to our little miracle and hope that he doesn't push too hard for a sibling when he gets older. I'm dreading having to talk to him about why he doesn't have a sister or brother to play with.
Your little man is awesome! But I think you mean 2008, not 1998 LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure by the time he starts asking for siblings you guys will be ready to tell him that it just means he gets you guys all to himself and how you wanted him so much, you were happy just having him. You have an amazing family :)
