&lt;p&gt;I think about what miracles my son(s) are all the time!&amp;nbsp; Like you said, how out of millions and millions of sperm *this* is the one that made it and now I am lucky enough to parent him.&amp;nbsp; It makes me SO excited to meet this new baby because I know he was meant for me and there is a reason he is coming into our life.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: How this journey has made me appreciate my boys more than ever</title><link>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/thread/486252.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 15:50:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">98f8303f-e5ee-4260-b4ef-b1490162acf4:486252</guid><dc:creator>atomic sagebrush</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/thread/486252.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=188&amp;PostID=486252</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I agree, it is so amazing!&amp;nbsp; Even more so when I stop to think about all the incredible miracles that had to occur for my boys to arrive, not only that they were born, but that my husband and I were, and our parents, and their parents...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best of luck with the pg and I hope you hear pink.&lt;img src="http://www.ingender.com/cs/emoticons/Happy.gif" alt="Happy" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: How this journey has made me appreciate my boys more than ever</title><link>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/thread/485814.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 03:20:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">98f8303f-e5ee-4260-b4ef-b1490162acf4:485814</guid><dc:creator>cassieandmy2boys</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/thread/485814.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=188&amp;PostID=485814</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Congrats on being preggo again!

R was conceived our first month trying, and J was a surprise a month before we planned to start trying again. I wouldn&amp;#39;t say that I ever took them for granted, but I&amp;#39;m not sure I fully appreciated what miracles they are.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our journey to TTC a girl with MS/IUI has had the unexpected effect of really making me realize the incredible miracle of each of my boys. When I had my BFN last fall, I just felt so close to both of them. I realized how tiny the chances were of either of them existing at all or being who they are. I don&amp;#39;t think I could love them any more than I did even before that, but it really did make me appreciate their existence in a way that I hadn&amp;#39;t thought about much before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had the same experience this time, especially during my 2WW, and those feelings are continuing now that I am pregnant. I&amp;#39;m holding them closer and just marveling at the way they look and the ideas they have. How did I get so lucky to be their mom? It is just so amazing to me that these incredible people came from a chance meeting of my egg and one of millions of my husband&amp;#39;s sperm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m really excited to be pregnant again, and of course I hope this one is a girl, but wow, I am so lucky already!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
