Just to mention that I am still alive...
Highlights of last two weeks:
*New fence to replace the rotten series of dog-battered boards on the west side of the yard
*House painted
*Kids both sick with sinus and ear infections
*Sleepless nights, see above
*Mild depression over lack of daughter somewhat alleviated. Discussion of adoption should we decide to have third child. Also considered: bizarre at-home methods of gender-influence, involving ph balances, microscopes, incubators, and centrifuges made from egg beaters. No verdict yet, beyond a decision that I am mildly crazy.
*MRB diagnosed with macular degeneration. We wait to see whether it is progressive.
*Deuce cutting five teeth at once and THRILLED about that, no really. Ongoing.
*Peanut moved to new bedroom, Deuce to Peanut's old room, and a master bedroom free of baby gear once more. Bittersweet.
Oh honey. Quite the mix. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how valiently you try, the odds are still pretty close to 50/50 on the daughter.
Imagine 3 boys.
There. That image should make your week more bearable.
I know. I KNOW. I'm pretty sure all the methods are just sugar pills to make you THINK you have some kind of control over the process...but it is so hard to give up a dream.
ReplyDeleteWe are leaning toward adoption at this point. In spite of the flaws in the system (we'd be going through the state), at least you get to pick.
