I am waiting.
I am unsure what I am waiting for, but I am waiting for it just the same.
I suppose I am waiting for my IPs to decide if they want to move forward and try to make Isabella a big sister again. I can not imagine the difficulty of their decision. They must weigh the odds of a successful egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo growth, transfer, and pregnancy with the devastation that will result if any of these steps go wrong. I can not imagine the anguish it must take to make this decision, and for this reason, I wait.
I want to make the decision for us, I want to decide that it is a good idea to move forward, but it is not my heart that will be broken if this next attempt doesn't work. So, I try desperately to convince myself that I cannot make the world bend to my will, and I try, with success, not to pester my IPs with questions regarding their readiness to move forward (this is a big step for me).
I am waiting.
I am unsure what I will do if they decide not to move forward. Will I find new IPs because I want just one more journey? Will my husband change his mind and decide he wants to have a child of his own? I am unsure. I know I want to do this whole crazy pregnant woman routine just one more time. I feel it. It is a need I feel deep in my soul. I sometimes wonder if I will always feel this way and need to make myself stop having babies, or if I am meant to cart around another baby for ten months.
I am waiting.
For me, this is big. For me, this is growth. For me, waiting is nearly impossible. But I am doing it. Out of love for my IPs, out of fear for making the wrong choice, out of hope for the "right" choice to manifest itself, I wait.
I am in surrogate limbo right now- I don't like it one little bit- and I am waiting.

I think it would be amazing for your hubby to change his mind and want one child of his own... for y'all to have a child together! Just my thought. :)
