I thought things were settled after this convo but then the topic of oops babies come up a few times again....so it’s complicated for both of us. I know I want to be done obsessing over getting pregnant. That’s so 2017 lol. I don’t know if we could live a relaxed “What happens happens” life or if we have to take action so there’s no more uncertainty.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-20475546823633514022018-07-07T21:58:49.870-07:002018-07-07T21:58:49.870-07:00Ahh, this topic.

I refused to have my tubes tied and R didn't push me on it, even though I feel 99% certain we aren't having more babies and I have all of my baby things in a huge bag to donate the second C doesn't need them. But it is so weird to be "resolved" on the topic and, I am finding, to let go of this part of my life that has been front and center for the last 5 years (TTC). It feels deeply engrained in me still, even though I am most certainly not wanting to get pregnant now. Anyway, thanks for sharing where you are on this topic for now... and for reminding me that I never picked up my birth control prescription and probably ought to do something about that. Doesn't it seem crazy to even worry about preventing pregnancy after all we have both been through?A Few Good Eggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654170259337486983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-34334454927355958982018-06-29T19:35:20.218-07:002018-06-29T19:35:20.218-07:00That’s good to hear.

It was great. With Dani’s birth though, it’s been different. There’s a sense that I need to work through the idea of being done , so ironically it’s more on my mind than the first time. I wish you the best whatever you do!torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-51296626394154851682018-06-29T08:21:08.282-07:002018-06-29T08:21:08.282-07:00Interesting post.

Right now our lives feel complete with our daughter which is great. I feel a sense of freedom at the thought of never going back to fertility clinics too and nice to not have to constantly think about fertility and all that! I don't know if we might feel differently as time goes on.dublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-15664460576818538912018-06-09T18:10:56.136-07:002018-06-09T18:10:56.136-07:00Thanks!

So odd.<br /><br />Lots of introspection here. It is definitely hard to be in between things. Or to end one aspect of life to start another. I have been stuck in that weird space for a while. It hurt too much to completely call it quits, so I have put it on the back burner right now until I can come back to it less emotional. (If that’s even possible)<br />I do hope you continue to write here. It doesn’t have to be anything profound, just sharing your life from your corner of the world is enough, in my opinion.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987444437659867827noreply@blogger.com
