BEFORE YOU READ THIS YOU NEED TO SCROLL DOWN AND READ "A FAMILY OF 2 BECOMES 3" THEN MAKE YOUR WAY BACK UP TO THIS ONE
I wrote this when I was halfway along in our pregnancy. It is something I have thought about since we have had her…….
Don’t get ahead of yourself. I have had no offers. Just fast forward a year or two from now and this could actually happen. I have crazy pregnancy hormones and in addition to worrying about the normal pregnant women stuff I still worry about some of the in-vitro things. I keep thinking about what if the doctor made a mistake and put my eggs with someone else’s sperm. Karlis said he had to leave his “sample” in the room and just walk out. What if some moron got it and put the wrong name on the cup or whatever it is that they use. You can’t just label each and every sperm like you can so many other things. Or what if the doctor got the wrong embryos too and I am actually carrying a little Chinese baby, someone else’s child. Can you imagine? Mistakes happen every day.
So as you go about your everyday business I am imagining myself sitting in Oprah’s yellowish colored leather guest chair crying my eyes out because I have been given the wrong child.
IVF opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
Back to today…So as I sit here and write this and look at her I know she is ours. People say she looks like one of us (which makes me relived that no mistakes were made). She also has this small patch of hair above her left ear that has absolutely no color, it’s completely white. My mom in the past has always told me I had this when I was born. And now she has it too!! It even looks like she is going to have a widow’s peak like me. I love seeing these similarities. I think she has Karlis’s lips and I am hoping she gets his blue eyes. We know they are blue but not sure on what color they will eventually become. She is ours!
