After reading all you went through physically, emotionally and financially this child is a true miracle from God! I am so happy for you! I hope to see you Christmas Eve and give you and Kevin big hugs of congratulations! This is a Blessed child-let nobody tell you otherwise! Oh I probably would have been one to ask-just because I am interested in that and didn't know how it was done. Not to be judgemental at all! I'm just a curious sort and had problems conceiving also.<br /><br />Love you cuz!

You're story gives me so much hope as we're about to embark on IVF #1 next month! <br /><br />I think that if you're not comfortable sharing with everyone, than it's ultimately your business. "Isn't it a miracle!" does sound like an excellent idea...however, be prepared, then, to get the "see, all it took was less stress" comments, too. I'm not sure that there's any answer other than the truth that will alleviate the questions. But, the bottom line is that it's none of their business, and if you don't want them to know, so be it! <br /><br />On the flip side, we have chose to tell people and have been absolutely amazed at the support we've received. Sometimes people surprise you!<br /><br />Best of luck and happy and healthy 9 months!!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203780431443748216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052573822349510779.post-71148307139868980792009-12-10T11:59:09.582-06:002009-12-10T11:59:09.582-06:00I would tell them the truth, that "this child...I would tell them the truth, that "this child was conceived by a whole lot of trying and the love shared by me and my husband."
