Today we had to go to our bank to have all of our legal paperwork notarized. Therefore it was D-day (decision day). I sat Bry down this am and explained how I felt that once that egg is fertilized IT IS LIFE. As a dear friend put it:
"It (our embryo) is growing, and changing... It has it's own blood type and will very soon have it's own heartbeat (in only 5 weeks!!!), it's brain is already starting to form, everything that is/will be that baby is there!!!
If I didn't believe that, then miscarriages wouldn't be a big deal, right? " I couldn't agree more. How can I make the decision to either discard this life or allow someone to run tests and manipulate this life for as long as 7 days, to only then destroy this life. I explained the idea of what is called "Snow-baby adoption." At the point where we are not going to use our embryo's, they will be donated and another infertile couple can "adopt" an embryo and hopefully become pregnant. It feels like the only right decision and I do believe that it is what is best for us and our unborn child or children. Who ever knew how heavily all of these seemingly peripheral decisions would weigh on our minds. I am very grateful to have made this one.
