I am so happy that he opened up to you!<br /><br />E and I have had some great conversations under the influence, too. I am all for it. Nothing better than sitting around drinking and talking with anyone you love (this goes for old friends as well). <br /><br />I am super excited for you two to move forward together with this! I have lots of hope for a healthy baby in your near future.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445064184402702224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-46472971111021357292010-07-26T13:41:08.789-05:002010-07-26T13:41:08.789-05:00I have to admit, I cried 4 different times reading...I have to admit, I cried 4 different times reading this. I am so happy he is talking and showing the other side of how he feels. Discussing the what if's is a natural part of the process I think, and It allows us to know there are other options. It's scary to put all our eggs in one basket, so to speak.

And what a scary story from him when he was little -- no wonder he's extra-sensitive on this. You'll be a wonderful mom. <br />BTW, my husband cannot imagine donor sperm as well. Since we don't know whether the issues are mainly mine, mainly his or both, it's not a very useful discussion at the moment, but I so want to be pregnant that it kind of hurts to have him exclude that already. Well, we're still early in the process, so I hope neither you nor I need to get to this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-32762931552317199932010-07-26T10:49:58.279-05:002010-07-26T10:49:58.279-05:00So happy to read this update.

Of course you'll be a good mom, and of course things will happen even if you had ten eyes around your head. i love that you talked about the miscarriage and about what to do in the future. You are right and IUI has worked for you so it's very likely to work again, but I understand the need of discussing the "what ifs" and the next steps. <br /><br />Still keeping your friends in my thoughts.<br />FranFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-74794419409170565822010-07-25T10:12:31.495-05:002010-07-25T10:12:31.495-05:00Sounds like a wonderful conversation!

SO frustrating!! But I just wanted to let you know that I have read all the posts-sorry I missed a few but I still love you and your blog. I finally got some uninterrupted computer time now!!<br />I'm so sorry about your friend's loss and yes it is scary to think it could happen to you again, but please don't worry about that just yet. I'm hoping that the blood test results are clear but if not I will be here to support you through it and the doctor will suggest a strong course of action. So glad you and your DH reconnected and got this stuff out in the open.
