TTC

[SemperMeGina]

OK, yes, we are TTC again.  Ok there I have said it.  We have actually been trying since Emmaleigh was born and have been "actively" (such as fertility stuff) for 2.5 years now.  Moth people don't know that because we didn't want to tell people this time.  It's HARD.  It's frustrating, it's heartbreaking.  And believe it or not ALOT of people don't understand, they don't realize some of the things they say are mean and hurtful.  But here it is, I am putting it out there...we are TTC...actively.  YES, I am thankful for the ones I have.  YES, I do want more "snot nose kids" (I have actually had that said to me).  YES, I know what I am doing.  YES, I have room for more.  YES, I know how expensive kids are.  YES, I do know they grow up.  YES,  I know that eventually they will be teenagers.   Please don't tell me to just relax and it will happen...you really don't know the whole issue and it just isn't THAT easy.  I wish it was.  Please, don't tell me "this is your month, I just know it" because do you really???  Please don't say  I should just be thankful I have 2.  I am and having children and how many is a decision couples make on their own and what others think doesn't really apply here.   All I have every wanted to be in my whole life is a wife and mother.  I am one and you know what, I love having babies, I love having kids around and YES...I look forward to having teenagers!!  Oh and YES, I do know that I am 32 years old and you're point is???  

Please, just be supportive.  Be positive as I am doing my hardest to be (and trust me it is hard with month after month after month of disappointment, I don't need any help with negativity).  Don't try to make me feel guilty and unappreciative of the children I have because I love them and my heart has enough room for more children.

 Please don't suggest adoption.  I'll stop you there now.  We already DO plan to adopt!!  When I am no longer able to have children (age, injury, whatever) we already plan to adopt.  So, you see, it isn't just that we want to have another baby...we want LOTS of babies, kids and teenagers.  But for now, while I am still young enough, we want to focus on conceiving.

Thank you for your support.
