I think the most improtant things we want all our loved ones to know about our situation is how grateful we are for their love and support. We like to be independent. We like to be able to work out things on our own. One of the hardest things for us is to admit that we can't do this on our own. In all areas--financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually--we will need help. It's unlike us to ask for help. We love to do what we can to help and serve others, but to accept, and even request such things is difficult. We are saving money and collecting from our own resources as much as we can. In-Vitro is expensive. We struggle with the amount of money that is required upfront before beginning the process. But, that's not going to be our excuse any longer. We are physically trying to do what the physicians ask, and we know the next few months will be physically taxing as well. And, emotionally and spiritually we are trying to be positive, focusing on the blessed family we have already, and are trying to look forward with faith.
Our situation is probably not unlike many others who have experienced similar troubles with growing their family. We feel lucky because we got Brooklyn at the beginning! You never think certain things will be a part of your life, then something creeps in and there you are. So, here we find ourselves longing for another child. We are so blessed to have Brooklyn and hope the joy we feel now can be expanded and even greater. With great family and friends who love and support us, we know this will be a great experience to learn and grow from. We are excited for the journey. Whatever the outcome, we are SO grateful for those who love and support us in so many ways--in the past, now, and in the future!
