Even though they are growing bigger, each new stage is so much fun that I don't really miss the past. We started to try to conceive in 2004. It was long, twisty, and surprising journey. Prior to BB coming, we were bound by cycles, schedules, appointments, and the constant need to "pee on a stick" (me that is, not Pete). Ever since BB arrived, we knew we wanted another child. We always dreamed of two babies. Although no longer doing fertility treatments, a whole other set of worries took their place. Could we afford it? When is the best time to do it? How is the Korean program changing? What if we no longer qualify for some reason?
So, the years between 2004 and 2010 were filled with anxious questions related to how we would build our family. Those questions were constantly with us and impacted very decision we made, financially and personally. Now that we have both BG and BB, our family is complete. I feel released from needing to focus on "the next step." That is a relief. I am not sad to see it go. I feel lighter and freer.
The bottles are packed away. We are moving forward, in a lot of good and exciting ways. We are now the family we dreamed of becoming.
