A new decision in my life

[serialmommy]

Well, the time has come.  We are no longer going to TTC.  Why?  It's been too much of a heartache, that's why.  For the past 14-15 months, it's just one let down after another.  The M/C in June certainly didn't help anything at all.  I love all of my children.  And we would LOVE to have another.  However, the hoping and wanting and caring and the letdown have just taken it's toll.  I'm done.  Are we preventing?  Well, no.  Jason will have his surgery at some point in the next couple of years.  However, if the last months have shown us anything, it's that pg is highly unlikely to happen for us.  So we now move on to bigger and better things.  To raising the wonderful kids we have.  To accepting this decision.  To understanding that this chapter of having new babies over and we now move on to raising them.  It also means moving on to accepting that we are getting older.  After all, young people have babies, it's the older ones that are doing the raising.  And no matter your actual age, that's just how it goes.

Nov. 3, 2007 at 9:39 AM I applaud you moving on. I had a M/C in May of this year and I was pretty devasted.  But I had to realize what I already had in my life; one beautiful son, family, friends and worthy causes that need my asssitance.  It has not been a simple choice or change for me, but daily it gets easier.
