I'm happy to be able to live in this world, we all came into existence here somehow. Not sex, before that, you we're nothing, and now you're something! Yay! Oh wait, it's not forever? Damn.
I think a big part of living with gratitude, at least for me, means not living with any regrets. I mean sure there are things I’d like to do and places I’d like to go but I really wouldn’t regret anything. I think I mostly have my priorities in order as it is, I’d just be really fucking sad to have to leave this world…but so happy for everything I’ve had in it
Nope! My wife was enjoying a chemically-induced nap in one room when my kids were conceived. I was in another room with broken DVDs and suspiciously easy to clean chairs. The kids were conceived in a third room by a lab worker and incredibly complex equipment.
The traditional way is much more fun. Try that first.
OK, yeah. "All" was wrong. Aside from IVF, 98% of us (in the US).
Your kids are waaaay more expensive than most. This is a fact they can use against their peers in school to assert dominance. Also, I blinked at the plural; did you just get lucky, or are you well-heeled enough to have gone through this more than once? Also also, my regards to your wife for the hellish pre-op chemical routine she probably had to endure. Yeah, your kids were hard-won. Kudos.
