Jessica - it is really great to hear from you! I can empathize on the twin pregnancy thing although since this is my first pregnancy to make it this far I have nothing to compare to but I definitely think it is a lot, lot tougher than I imagined. I have had my share of problems - kidney stones, almost unbearable rib pain, trouble breathing, sore knees and back, and really all over body soreness - but I don't know if that all is common with every pregnancy or twin pregnancy or what. I am very, very grateful for these two and am so happy that they have stuck with me but if I am being honest I'll be much happier when they are finally here and healthy!
Claudia - I wondered the same thing but do not know. We have two frosties and do not plan to use them either. We are not opposed to having more children but they will have to come naturally from here on out. We were never told there was absolutely no chance to have children on our own and actually got pregnant naturally but miscarried so who knows. Anywho, we, well really just me - my dh would rather donate - don't like the idea of our genetic babies being out there without us knowing about them or caring for them. My dh thinks it is the same as giving a child up for adoption (he is adopted) but I think that it is different because it is my child (really) and I wouldn't be giving them up for adoption, ever. Plus, how much can you really know about the people who will raise them and if that is the home you would want them to be in, etc., etc. I feel like such a hypocrite because we were going to adopt and really wanted mothers to make that decision but I just don't think I can do it no matter how much I know it would help an infertile couple!
