I really don't want to be seen as being bitter (although I must be honest that I do feel bitter at times). More than anything I just want people to understand how lucky they are to 'get' to think about stuff like that. <br /><br />I was watching law and order the other night and it was all about 'designer babies'. The show made me so angry because it didn't even consider the reality about why the whole field of Assisted Reproduction exists. <br /><br />I guess I just want to feel like I am understood, and not like an outcast.foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-19705969953999929392010-12-10T13:22:37.416-06:002010-12-10T13:22:37.416-06:00Hi baby!

It would be so awesome to actually just 'plan' for a baby and then get pregnant, what a concept:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-28917009049918299562010-12-10T03:35:15.899-06:002010-12-10T03:35:15.899-06:00Alison, your post really made me think.

I still think you should have responded to the thread though - it would just show everyone another point of view, and give them something to reflect on.<br />I don't think you come across as bitter at all - all along, I have admired your strength, your trust in God and your un-bitchiness. <br />P.S. I sometimes feel "wrong" leaving you comments here, like I'm not allowed to because I haven't experienced any of your struggles. I hope you don't mind me following your blog and commenting.Arwhenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768851167735662812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-81667060355172169842010-12-09T16:11:25.950-06:002010-12-09T16:11:25.950-06:00Some people are just lucky.

She said, "Oh, it's easy. If you want to the summer off, you have to get pregnant in August." Rrrrrrright.
