I sometimes wonder how my infertility influences my feelings about being a parent. I feel pressure (mostly from myself!) to enjoy it more because he's such a miracle. I have the responsibility (self inflicted) to savor and remember every little thing because I know how lucky I am to have him. I should go easy on myself but I know how lucky I am (I've had my fair share of misfortune too) and I try to keep that in mind every day.
I still day dream about being a full time Mom and not having to work, but I’m not sure that will ever happen. So I am trying to make my current situation a happy and fulfilling one. Luckily Bram is in the care of amazing caring family members and is constantly loved and doted over. I couldn’t ask for a better arrangement. But being a working mom is tough… like way off the charts tough, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge before and this time isn’t any different.
