Just a couple of glimpses from tonight’s bon dance… More later.

Today during one of our late afternoon walks around the neighborhood, we ran into one of Hubby’s former co-workers. She told us that she has recently become a grandmother — she’s a year younger than Hubby. (!)

Of course, the usual question gets asked, “So, what about you guys? Kids?”

To which we both shake our heads and reply with the usual, “Not yet.”

“Maybe not for a while,” Hubby responded.

The issue of having children is starting to become one of those points of stress for me. I have such mixed feelings about it, that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to sort it out before my biological clock stops ticking. Although I want to have children, I am still unsure about undergoing infertility treatments and in vitro fertilization (IVF). I also wonder if it’s necessary. In all honesty, Hubby and I haven’t been trying extremely hard to conceive. My ob/gyn seems to believe that IVF is our “best bet” because of my endometriosis. On the other hand, the prospect of having multiples is particularly daunting to me as this is a very real possibility with infertility treatment. There’s also the possibility of adoption that we haven’t completely ruled out yet.

Who knew having kids was so complicated? For most people it just “happens.” For others, like me, it’s something that doesn’t come so easily.

Then, the logistical concerns about having children plague my thoughts, too. Oh, let’s not even go there.

Not yet.
