They'll give you an opinion either way you go, as I found out after we adopted our children 18 months apart. People would say, "Uh-oh. You're going to be busy..." in this tone of dread. I think people just want to have something to say. It's so unhelpful, really! <br /><br />It's so great to see your little man. He's beautiful! I know what you mean about the time going so fast. Our oldest is two, and I feel like just yesterday we were holding her in the hospital as a newborn! They are blessings! <br /><br />Open Airhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885572571783385682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-3682512797160367522013-07-01T20:04:44.487-04:002013-07-01T20:04:44.487-04:00I'm so glad you posted Amanda. It's nice ...I'm so glad you posted Amanda. It's nice to not feel so alone in this journey. Not feeling well is really our number one reason for not even discussing number two. it's disappointing, but, you have to know your limits. I want to be everything I can for our son, and, if having another one takes away from that and from both of them, then, that's not fair for anyone!!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for commenting!My Endo Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752744479527167274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-63571119723410670512013-07-01T14:08:59.535-04:002013-07-01T14:08:59.535-04:00Oh I feel for you, I really do!
We have decided w...Oh I feel for you, I really do!<br /><br />We have decided we aren't going to have any more children. For us the issue is not my fertility but the fact that I was severely ill during pregnancy and the risk of getting that sick again and risking the same complications is just too much for us.<br /><br />But even more than that, like you I feel totally wiped out since having my son. It's taken me a long time to realise it isn't just normal exhaustion from having a baby/toddler as I thought it was just because I was taking a long time to recover physically from 9 months of being so very sick. But Oscar was born just a month after Connor so is almost 2 as well and I am just beyond exhausted. I am nauseous a lot of the time, I have fatigue, I have dizzy spells, and I am having those weird hot flashes that I had when on the zoladex (lupron) for my Endo. And that worries me... along with all the crappy Endo stuff as well, of course.<br /><br />Ours isn't an easy option, is it? People don't seem to get that and just assume that you would want more and therefore have more children. I always wanted at least 2 children, but I struggle with Oscar some days because of my health and I know that he is so precious to us after all we went through and I don't want to jeopardise what we have by risking adding another person to look after (even through adoption) unless we can get to the bottom of why I feel so rubbish most of the time. So I know exactly where you're coming from on that side of things.<br /><br />Good luck with the next stage in your investigations... I'm off to the drs tomorrow myself for testing my hormones levels etc as the routine bloods all came back normal so it's time to look more deeply at the issue. Fingers crossed we both find an answer soon xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
