Enough....

Throughout our IF journey many have asked, "How do you know when enough is enough?"  My answer is, "You will know."

Mark and I have officially said "enough is enough".  We are closing the TTC (trying to conceive) chapter in our lives.  Do we still want more children?  Absolutely.  We want another child with every ounce of our souls.  However, life has other plans and we don't want to miss out on that life while we are consumed trying to build our family.

As I type this, I have one of our "miracles" asleep at my side.  He is an angel sent from Heaven and I am forever thankful that I'm his Mommy.  While being a mother to 2 children was not our plan, it is more than we were ever promised when your IF journey began.

Like I was reminded by a friend, every parent (whether battling IF or not) must decide at some point when "enough is enough" on having babies.  This is so true.  However, like many things with IF, it is really not my decision - my medical issues and mother nature (getting older) are making the decisions for me.

So we are wishing our IF goodbye.  Goodbye needles, goodbye burning medications, goodbye sore butt and bruises, goodbye ultrasounds, goodbye blood work, goodbye HPTs, goodbye cold doctor's offices, goodbye surgeries, goodbye to bad news.

Most of all, goodbye to our sweet, precious embryos.  You may not have been conceived in my body, but you were conceived with love from your Mommy and Daddy.  We wish every one of you peace as you rest surrounded by Jesus' divine love.
