Trying to Become a Real Mom.

I have two stepsons, 12 and 9, I feel like I have been a mom for 4 years now.  No one seems to really count that though.  My husband and our are TTC our first and I am very impatient.  I feel like being a Stepmom is like editing.  They boys came to me 7 and 4, I have polished their behavior, stepped up their manners and can even say I see a bit of me in them, like my 12 year old's love of cheese and the touch of sarcasm in the 9 year old.

And as much as I have enjoyed editing and molding these two guys, and look forward to being a part of lives from here on, I am ready to create my own.  I am ready for my husband and I to bonded.  I am ready to be pregnant.

I have never been much of on for patients.  I decide on a course of action and I make it happen.  This having to wait around for nature to take it's course if for the birds. I am trying my hardest to enjoy this, and not turn it into a science experiement, but it is hard.

So here I am almost 29 years old and TTC my very own miracle, and wishing it could be as easy as going to the pet store to pick out a new puppy.

You put my thoughts into words exactly: "I decide on a course of action and I make it happen."  TTC/IF has been such a lesson in patience.  But seriously, lesson learned!  I'm ready to be pregnant!  GL to you. Smile

I understand that feeling-- the waiting is just brutal....but I have to say that looking back on 2 years and a M/C, TTC my 1st DD and 3 years TTC with failed IUI and IVF and 2 m/c, all the waiting and the heartache I had to endure has given me the gift of fully appreciating every moment with my 3 beautiful girls...GL

Wow, our lives are so much a like. I have a daughter from a previous relationship and now have been with my husband for 2 years and his boys have lived with us as well.  We have come close as a family, but yes I am not their real mom.  We so badly want child together to create that baby that is the two of us.  We love all of our children very much, but feel that their is still a piece missing.  My husband had a reversal in September and his results came back okay.  He did have swimmers, but several have coiled tails so we are hoping that in the next several months those with straighten out and his count will increase.  It is so hard to wait.  We are trying even though we know the chances are pretty low right now of actually getting pregnant.  We figured it can't hurt.  So hang in there and we can wait this out together.
