I really do. I personally have undergone 9 miscarriages, and finally in December of 2000, we have our son through IVF. ART has come a long long way in techniques. If you would like to write me about my journey feel free to email me.

You are not a selfish whore!! You are a normal human being who thinks like any other person. There is nothing wrong with wanting certain things in your life. I'm sending lots of hugs and warm thoughts your way. Take care, and don't be so down on yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20183170.post-1143552515896781702006-03-28T07:28:00.000-06:002006-03-28T07:28:00.000-06:00How like 'the enemy' to steel the joy...from what ...How like 'the enemy' to steel the joy...from what the Lord has given.<BR/>You've been on a mountaintop and now...............<BR/>I don't pretend to know very much about depression nor what it is like to really want something and not get it. But I've heard that depression is anger turned inward and I'm glad you're on medication for it. Have you ever gone through therapy because it sounds like you could use someone who you're not related to, to talk to about all that you have on your plate. Someone who could help you sort all those things out and give you some perspective.<BR/>You talk about God alot in your blogs. I do know some about him and I recently read somewhere that he will use our circumstances to try to draw us closer to him because what he really wants of us in this life is our "full" devotion. I snese that you have been very busy with your school work and your job and your husband. What do you do for you? How do you fill yourself up? Are you in friendships with other women? Do you do anything that brings you joy...even if for an hour a week? It has been my experience that if I get busy doing something that brings me joy then I don't think so much of the junk of life. Also getting what we want, doesn't neceaarily bring happiness. You already mentioned that Bob wouldn't be alot of help with an infant due to not having strength. Maybe God is showing you that adoption is the way to go with a bit older child. Would that be such a bad thing? I will pray for you and your circumstances. If I knew you, I would call you so we could talk because I think you could use a good friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
