Is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be.
The time has come for us to make a decision about what to do with our 7 frozen embryos. I know in my head what we are going to do...but my heart still needs some convincing.

Our Journey to Parenthood
About Me
- ap
- I'm a 30-ish year old who has been married to my high-school sweetheart since June 2005...we went from the "no birth control kind of trying" in 2006 to the "IVF kind of trying" in 2009. We were lucky enough to "get lucky" our first try with IVF...and Parker and Caroline were born in April 2010.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Yes, Annelle, I pray! Well, I do! There, I said it, I hope you're satisfied.

It IS such a hard decision. I pray that your heart and mind will agree on what's best for your family. :)
We are in the middle of these discussions too. It is so difficult. My heart and mind couldn't agree so we put it off another year. That sure hasn't made it any easier.
I hope you are able to get some peace in the decision soon.
Oh my gosh, we are struggling with the exact same thing, though we only have 1 like embie frozen. We always thought we'd do a FET, but then, surprise, like you, got pregnant the old fashioned way. We are really torn about this. I am pretty sure we don't want another little one, but I can't imagine either just letting it go or giving it away. But the $500 yearly storage fee is quite steep. I'd love to hear your thought process if you want to message me offline (k [underscore] habeeb [at] yahoo [dot] com). Such a terribly hard decision with not one of them feeling like the right one.
I can only imagine how tough this is for you. We didn't save any-at the time my sister just couldn't imagine doing that process again and we knew we couldn't afford someone else to grow us those babies, so we let 12 embryos go. It's just another part of this bizarre baby having business some of us go through. But trust that you will come to the right decision for your family. I found that its best just not to think about the "what ifs" and focus on what we do already have-otherwise it gets all heavy and shite. And I can only handle so much of that.
In other happy news, I need some new pics of your babies. Seriously.
Amy- please send me your blog info again.:/)
