back!

So after a break from this blog I am back. LOL.

I am looking into NWcryo right now. But I will research all the sperm banks. (there are only a few in north america) I am also entertaining the thought of finding a real live donor. It seems far more complicated (but cheaper)

Anyway, I likely won't ttc for at least 2 years though. More likely 3. But then again maybe I will do it twice! LOL.

Sooo many folks think I am nuts when I start talking about this. Then I get the whole "Oh maybe you will meet someone." OK. (why does no one ever listen to me?) .I really have no intention of getting into a relationship, let alone have more kids with another partner. Now sure why people aren't understanding that. I actually do like my life and have no intention of sharing it at this point with anyone but my children. I was divorced once and widowed once and really that's plenty for me. I just want to live my life now! I definitely don't need a man to do that! I'm not saying I am anti men or anything. I just don't want to put the effort into a relationship at this point. Maybe someon WILL come along but I am not going to hold my breath and hope.

Maybe it is the whole "buying a baby" thing though. It does kind of bother me too. But I want more children! Who says one needs to be partnered? I don't see a problem with donor sperm either. Just wonder what issues will come up for the children is all.

My kiddos are almost 4yo and 2.5yo at this point. I think I would love to have another baby they are around 6 and 7. We'll see what happens! First I need to start saving for the sperm! I think on average it takes 6 months for most to get pg using donor sperm (providing there are no other issues at play) That is approx $4800 with shipping costs for 6 months. (using 2 vials per month) whew!

Can we really put a price on children though? I mean it seems as if society has.. But really?

Anyway I am excited to be back planning for this. Needed to take some time out though and reasses my life. and now I am certain I really DO want more children! My almost 4yo is starting to want another sibling too! (he asked me recently when I'd have another baby- it was too sweet)
