    Hey Moe - I agree with Anne on the get used to your dramatically different new life and then see... I have frozen sperm, but no eggs on ice. I gave birth at 43 (and was very lucky that I got pregnant immediately)... but the transition into the new life was hard - I loved my boy so much, but it was a hard adjustment nevertheless... Now that he's almost 3, I wish I had just immediately gotten pregnant again... since i'm 46 and it's just too late... but at the time when I was 43 almost 44? I thought it would be too much for me as a singleton. And even when I think well I could adopt... I think 'gosh... Aidan was a good sleeper... what if i got one who didn't sleep?' (I have a friend my age who has 2 under 4 - the youngest is a few weeks older than Aidan... her husband was deployed to Afghanistan for 9 months while the daughter was 1 year - 21 months old... and the daughter just didn't sleep... she'd do 3 hour spurts. The 2 year old son didn't understand where dad was and was up too... and it was REALLY hard on my friend... I work... and have no other option, so to have a non sleeper? scared me seeing how hard the no sleep and no dad at home was on my friend... and i'd lose my job... so that was probably what really got to me the most)... But if you have frozen embryo - then you can just see how you feel after you've got the rhythm of momhood down! (When (if) you find yourself overwhelmed at the thought of the effort it takes to pack up everything you need for the baby, load the baby and get out the door for a trip to Target or something... know that it's totally normal and you will get into the flow of grabbing it all and going!) I'm so excited for you and Anne both... so glad you were persistent and fought hard for your dream! Cannot wait to see pics and hear all about it!!
