Documenting our journey...and a few random tidbits but that's just who I am.

As of right now we are waiting to start the in vitro process.  There is a lot more that goes into this process than I ever imagined!  There are also  a lot of emotions that have been coming and going.  One day I am excited to get this started.  They next day I am scared and worried if we really even need to do in vitro.  Then I worry about paying for it.  I could drive myself crazy thinking of all the questions and scenarios.  Sometimes I even wonder if I really, truly want children when I know that they take a lot of work and energy.  I would have to say telling myself that I don't want kids for the selfish reasons I can think of is a way to preserve my emotions about the topic.  I feel so jaded about all the things that have happened in this quest, and I get nervous to put any faith into anything actually happening for the better.  The thought crosses my mind that this is just an expensive gamble.  One which I don't know it's worth taking.  Especially when I can adopt a child for less money and be more likely to get a child.  Or maybe I think of adoption because I would feel more in control?  Either way It is one of those learning experiences to let the control go and trust in something bigger than myself.  I heard a quote that said " We struggle because we want to grow but we don't want to let go."  This is very true in my place right now.  I want to grow, learn  and trust it is the right path but I do NOT want to let go of the control.  Life is just full of sweet lemons.
