Serious and not serious

I've been thinking about this post for quite some time and not sure where to start so here goes...

Johnny and I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time. I've always felt hopeful and had no reason to think otherwise - until our doctor's visit last month. I'll skip the details and numbers. Suffice it to say, the doctor said it would be a miracle if John and I got pregnant. That dashed all the hope I've held to this point and I cried buckets of tears. We didn't tell anyone right away. It's not the happiest conversation starter. All that said, I'm quite at peace now.

We may consider in vitro but we'll more likely adopt. We feel like there is at least one more child that still needs to join our family, however he/she chooses to arrive. I'm not sad anymore. I can't be, really. I have an incredible husband and 3 wonderful step-children who have given me the opportunity to mother, in at least some sense of the word. I have no qualms about adopting - I know that child will be mine. So, I'm putting the word out. John and I will attend our first adoption meeting on Wednesday night with LDS Family Services and we'll see what happens.

On a much lighter note, a much, much lighter note, John has joined facebook. It's been quite fun to watch him check for "friends" and write on "walls." I may have to set a time limit for him so I can have a turn on the computer too.
