I am starting to wonder when I would actually allow myself to buy anything again -- I actually think it would be after I'm holding the baby in my arms. Anyway, I truly hope you can soon take out all those delicious baby items and enjoy them!Good Egg Huntinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329661201337433257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500268083107959044.post-50235117148040711622009-06-14T00:32:29.758-04:002009-06-14T00:32:29.758-04:00Hi there,I found your blog on the ICLW list - I...Hi there,<br><br>I found your blog on the ICLW list - I'm also on a surrogacy journey. <br>I know what you mean about buyng baby clothes - I have 7 neices/nephews and two on the way. Buying baby gifts has been difficult at times - pregnancies have come so easily for my sisters-in-law. And mostly, when having kids comes naturally, parents just don't realize how fortunate they are. <br><br>I look forward to reading about your GS journey.FET Accomplihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04022601632796340799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500268083107959044.post-59774859406825994162009-06-13T22:08:20.337-04:002009-06-13T22:08:20.337-04:00I can totallu understand you being superstitious, ...I can totallu understand you being superstitious, it is like the first couple times you let hope take over..then after that you really have to protect yourself.<br><br>Glad I found your blog and look forward to following your journey.GShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152205014415100365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500268083107959044.post-11392443244524092952009-06-13T17:39:03.562-04:002009-06-13T17:39:03.562-04:00I used to think that I wasn't superstitious, t...I used to think that I wasn't superstitious, that is until I found myself refusing to cycle in certain months because I had such terrible outcomes when I had cycled in those months before. February? Will. Not. Do. It. <br><br>I understand that we do these things to give ourselves the feeling of control. But, once you have been at this as long as we have, you begin to wonder if anything you do can make it work this one time. Other times, you think it will be different. <br><br>Me? I've tried to stop thinking. <br><br>Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. :)akamrsxhttp://akamrsx.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
