Wow I am going through the same thoughts and worries, except we knw there is no hope on the pregancy side. We started talking about the fact that Jamie will be all alone when we die, she has no cousins or other relatives who will be alive (unless we die now – what a cheery thought!) Right now she has 2 grandmas and 2 uncles and a grandfather who is 77.

Do we want to go through the process of adopting from foster care again? all the risk to our psyches as well as the fact that I am 47 and Mike is 52. Do we have the stamina?

Seriously, I think that sometimes is sucks to be a woman because I can guarantee that our spouses don’t worry about stuff like this.

Tough stuff, this worrying we do. You are not alone.

My list was only as follows:

That I won’t get pregnant again ever
That I will and there will be something wrong with the baby
That I will and I will miscarry

But really, it includes all the things that you mentioned. As other people have said, it’s a heavy load to carry. I’m sure there are people who stumble along blissfully optimistic and ignorant about trying to conceive, pregnancy and having another child. I don’t know any of them, of course.

I hope things work out.

gah. I don’t even know. I wish it was easier.

Maybe the next post could be “Conflicted (Things I am excited about)”. You might feel better about the possibilities.

Or not, but I have nothing better.
