False hope

Wednesday before our doctor's consult for our next IVF (invitro-fertilization) try we were informed that we actually had four remaining covered IVF tries available. After understanding this information crystal clear, we were walking on air. I felt like a huge burden had been taken removed off my shoulders & everything no longer relied on our next & last try. Sadly, we were mis-informed. The good news is that the doctor is going to be much more aggressive (with our approval) in our next & final treatment. We fell that the possible outcome outweighs the risks. However if it doesn't happen we have talked about it & will look into other alternatives. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that.

So many people are saying be happy with the child you are blessed with & we are; but we have so much to give & I want our son to have siblings to share his life with now & later. It can be lonely being an only child. I want our son to know the joys, troubles & lessons of having a sibling. Life can be hard enough as it is on all of us. Regardless we know we have been blessed with a wonderful son & are thankful everyday for him & his beautiful smile.
