Your blog is so...I hope you're doing fine dear! Your blog is so inspiring. I had so many thoughts on my mind before de ivf. It’s much easier for men to accept this. It will be their child, so why should they worry about such things? To be honest, at first I was completely against de ivf. I thought it’s unnatural and I won’t be able to love a baby of another woman. How stupid I was! This procedure was my only chance to become a mother so I persuaded myself to do it. Now I have no regrets. I look at Sammy and I consider him as my son and no one else's. We had an opportunity to give our doctor list of features we want to see in our donor. We mentioned hair color, nose and face shape, eyes, lips, etc. I should say everyone tells me my son looks like me! We told everyone, even our family, that we had simple ivf. No one can ever tell we used egg donor. Of course I’m grateful to our doctor and that girl, who donated her eggs. I will never forget what they’ve done for us! But I really have no feelings like my son is not genetically related to me or I feel differently toward him. Absolutely no! I love him with my whole heart! As soon as I knew I’m pregnant all my doubts faded away. I carried him, I felt him inside my stomach, I sang for him and read fairytales for him, I gave birth to him! He’s my son and only my! We decided we’ll not tell Sammy about egg donor. I think he doesn’t need to know that. I’m his mom and I’ll do everything for him so there will be no need for him to look for donor. We had 2 attempts in general. I’ve got pregnant from the first one. The clinic also offers «packages» with 1 or 5 attempts. So we’ve just chosen «package», which suited us the most. I have no regrets! I'm the happiest mom in the whole world!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320944977803350164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10631378.post-1138429085748291842006-01-28T01:18:00.000-05:002006-01-28T01:18:00.000-05:00So happy to hear the good news, and thanks bundles...So happy to hear the good news, and thanks bundles for the update.

I wanted to quickly write to inform all of her her wonderful supporters that Madelyn came through her Chiari Decompression surgery with flying colors! So far, most, if not all the Chiari symptoms seem to be resolved and Bee and baby should be going home today (Wed 1/25/06)! They will have to repeat some tests in the weeks to come, but it looks good. I told Bee that I emailed Wessel and begged for some prayers from you all... she appreciates it more than you will ever know. Thank you Wessel! Hopefully soon she will be able to give you all a more details. <BR/><BR/>Thank you all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10631378.post-1138047092086259262006-01-23T15:11:00.000-05:002006-01-23T15:11:00.000-05:00Bee, I read on Wessel's blog about the surgery.
