  6. Hi, I am Noah.

    Hi Noah,

    I am the mother of Riley and Bailey who just became big brothers four months ago. They think being a big brother is best thing and I have to say as a mom they are really good at it. I know you will be a great big brother!!!

    Riley said that the best thing about being a big brother is holding Colby and giving his kisses. He also wanted to me add that he likes helping mommy buckle Colby into to his carseat. Mom likes the help as well!!!

    Bailey said that they best thing about being a big brother is feeding Colby his bottle. He also enjoys kissing and holding Colby. He likes to play peek-a-boo with Colby.

    I hope the little advice from my boys will help you out. I know you will be the best big brother!!!

  10. Things Infertile Folk Hate to Hear

    I know from my experience that infertility can be really distructive to a person self worth and I was not a nice person at times and I took everything personally. When we were struggling to have the boys so many people would comment, of course with the best intentions, but I didn't want to hear that things were going to be okay because my heart was broken and I was shattered as a women. When I get the news that I was actually pregnant I was sure they got the test messed up. How could I be pregnant???? Of course I really was and I gave birth to my twins. I felt better about myself as a women but I still had the nagging voice telling me that it would never happen again for me. We wanted to have more children but I was really afraid that nagging voice I had heard for so many years would be true. When I finally got the courage to start with the treatments again all those feeling that I felt four years earlier came pouring back. People would tell me that at least I had the boys and I should be happy with that. Of course I overjoyed with my children but we felt that our family was not complete. I didnt' want to hear any negatives comments toward our decision to add to our family but of course people thought they should share. I realized in that moment the pain of infertility runs very deep and even though I had my older boys I still ached for that child that was meant to be in our family. I am so happy that I was not able to get pregnant again because it forced me to deal with all my emotions so that I would be ready for our next child to enter our family!!!

    Welcome to Abrazo! I know this is a very nervous and exciting time for you but you have found a place that hopefully you will find comfort from the forum. We started our adoption process this time last year and now we are the proud parents of a very handsome three month old little boy!!! It will be roller coaster but it is worth in the end. We ended 2005 as new parents as well expanding our family with his birthfamily. It is really a beautiful thing!!!

    Best of luck!!!
