I know I am late in coming to the party but ...Jess,<br />I know I am late in coming to the party but let me first start by saying... CONGRATULATIONS! I am so excited to hear that you are expecting a child! you are going to be such a great and sassy mom! : )<br /><br />Your child will be yours even when they don't look like you! I still get told that my KOREAN adopted son has "my eyes"... to that I say... "I wish! His eyes are beautiful!"Fawnda@Fireflies and Jellybeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098369192096978914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-28337557312492180782010-02-09T15:17:52.298-08:002010-02-09T15:17:52.298-08:00You shared some of the same thoughts that have cro...You shared some of the same thoughts that have crossed my mind, especially since the process is moving along. Like you I won't be able to look down and see any of my our features but we'll be able to pass on much greater things!StacyandChadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901112492672314292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-62000340394076604842010-02-09T14:49:22.629-08:002010-02-09T14:49:22.629-08:00First of all, the lady bits comment literally made...First of all, the lady bits comment literally made me lol!<br /><br />Secondly, you have no idea how often I hear that my (almost-adopted) son looks like my husband. haha I just say, "Hmmm...that's interesting." So, you never know! That little one could come out looking a whole lot like one of you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-78458900794952317852010-02-09T14:43:45.264-08:002010-02-09T14:43:45.264-08:00I would vote Primary Infertility, because it isn&#...I would vote Primary Infertility, because it isn't a child that you and your husband conceived. It's kind of funny to think that I may be pregnant soon but still be considered "infertile". Anyway, I know your feelings exactly. It still makes me sad to think that our child won't have any of our features. But honestly, does it really matter in the long run? What we do get to pass on to our child will be the most important.

I will say that they do pick up some of our traits and sometimes it is uncanny how much they can resemble one of us in so many different ways. But I will say there are days when I see our sweet donor's kiddos or herself in the faces of our miracles. I'm just reminded to be so grateful to her as she has forever changed our lives. And what a beautiful woman inside and out. Our babies are so blessed to have us both praying for them everyday. It's hard to wrap my heart and mind around sometimes. But as our donor Mom said after spending 5 minutes in our home. "These are your babies. I was wondering HOW I'd feel, but I feel like a special Auntie. That I have a small bond, but these are truly your babies." And later that weekend she gave me the greatest compliment when she said, "You love these babies the way I would"! So, how you feel now will change as you meet your precious one. What a miraculous journey you've been so blessed to be on! God bless!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125931870470150067noreply@blogger.com
