I keep getting asked if we are done having babies or if we are going to "try for a boy"...as if you have any control over that. I am in disbelief when I get asked from people without bringing it up first myself as Emmesyn is ONLY SEVEN weeks old right now! I mean realistically with having a c-section, I'm suppose to be out of commision for 8 weeks I think (if you know what I mean! LOL).
Here is my thoughts:
1st: Really, it's none of their business, but since I'm a pretty open person (sorry Matt) I'm ok to tell them
2nd: I'm not sure yet if 2 is complete for US. If it were my decision, I think I would like more, however this is a family desicion so I'm not 100% sure. If money were not an option and we could provide them with everything they need and a few wants, I don't know what Matt's "number" would be.
and 3rd: after going through SO much pain and heartache trying for a baby, I feel like I'd be ungreatful if I closed the door completely to more. I prayed SO hard for a baby and did so much fertility treatments before turning to adoption, I almost feel like it would be selfish to then say thanks God, I got what I want, now I'm done...I know, doesn't make sense to others. I do believe I have the children I was meant to have though. I am perfectly content with my girls and really would be ok IF we had more, if they were all girls. I don't think after going through everything we have and with Teagan being a chemo baby and Emmersyn having the true knot in her cord, I would ever "try for a boy"...I think God has my kids in His hands and will decide for us.
Last year at this time I was having a heart attack and had stroke level blood pressure. I was still under the impression I couldn't have babies without adoption. I was a total mess. After tons of heart tests and some meds and 2 monthes later (I got preggo the end of April), I got the biggest surprise of my life and it has lead me to believe that the best things in life are unplanned.
I agree some people are so rude. You and Matt are great parents and I know you both will make the best decisions for you family.
