The above question is what I get asked quite a lot when I talk to friends/family/random strangers I meet on the street (just kidding) about my egg donation journey.
Its not that I feel 100% finished (NB the clinic does not require that you have completely finished either) but that I am completely at peace with the idea of just having 2 children.
Right now it would not be possible for us to have another child anyway. Hubby still has 1 more year to go in his degree and we have already had a child in the middle of his study (luckily over the summer break). Out current rental is brilliant and cheap but there just would not be enough room for another child so realistically we would have to move.
For us to have another child I would also have to be at peace with the idea of having another boy. I know it sounds silly but the thought of having 3 boys scares me a bit. In my heart right now I would love a girl but I would hate to feel any kind of disappointment at the joyous occasion of having a child.
We have previously talked about perhaps fostering children, but I think that's a conversation for a few years time.
At this point in my life I dont think I've ever felt happier, despite the lack of sleep and the assertive 3 year old. Kids are pretty amazing and I really hope I can help this couple we have been matched with to realise their dream of having a baby.
