Success after IF

Sorry I've been so negative lately...

This is really not me.  I am normally such a positive and upbeat person.  I don't know why I'm so focused on all the possible problems with this pregnancy.  Yesterday's u/s showed a good heartbeat, and I know I should focus on that. 

I was reading Davez post from last night, and I really think a lot of my problem is that I don't feel like I deserve this.  I had a wonderful pregnancy with Evan and he is such a good baby.  To get pregnant on my own (which surely I don't deserve!) and to have 2 healthy, beautiful babies just seems like too much!  And too, I feel like if I get too attached to this baby, all will fall apart.

But this is not me, and it will stop now.  I am pregnant today and I will enjoy it.

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • I think everyone here can understand how you're feeling.  We're all scared enough the first time around and I can certainly see how a second unexpected gift would seem like tempting the fates.  But you DO deserve both of these healthy, beautiful babies and you DO deserve to enjoy this pregnancy!!
