I wanted to apologize for my "whiny" post a few minutes ago. I am in a really bad emotional place today and it came off really whiny. I am fully aware of the fact that especially with the economy the way it is right now, there are people out there struggling to put food on the table to feed their kids and people with medical bills piled up from fighting life-threatening diseases and people about to lose their homes because they are unemployed and can't pay the mortgage. I sounded like such a whiny brat on my previous e-mail. Yeah, we were saving for a bigger house....but we're lucky we have a nice house as it is. Yes, we would love to be able to make love and bring a baby into this world instead of paying thousands of dollars to do so, like the lucky ones do, but that's just not what's going to happen for us so we've accepted it the best way we can. The bottom line is that even when life seems so unfair, we are very lucky at the same time. I have to have faith that Tenley will be okay and that we will be parents very soon. It just may not be the way we had hoped and planned for. :)
Thanks for listening,
Love,
Tiff

About Me

- My husband and I have been happily married for 9 years. We started trying to get pregnant in 2005 and after 4 years of trying naturally, fertility treatments, surgeries, procedures and several Doctors, we were finally blessed with our twin boys, Max & Aidan in December 2009. Dreams of having a family were finally coming true. When our twins were 8 months old, we found out I was pregnant again. Getting pregnant naturally was the shock of our lives but we were thrilled. In May of 2011, we welcomed our 3rd son, Brody, into our family. 3 boys in less than 17 months is nothing short of crazy....but it's "our" crazy and we wouldn't have it any other way. Welcome to our life as parents of Irish Triplet Boys.....

There is absolutely NO need to apologize!
Yes, times are rough for a lot of people and yes, there are people that are struggling in ways that you aren’t right now but that does not minimize the fact that where you are right now is not an easy place. This journey is very difficult and one that none of us thought we’d be on. There are times when it’s easy to be grateful for the medical technology that is available to us and yet resent that we have to rely on it for what is so simple and easy for others – not to mention FREE and recreational!
It is great that you two are savers and what a blessing that you don’t have to deal with debt to create a family but that sill doesn’t change the fact that you were saving for something different. Something that costs everyone money that is a natural thing to plan for – a bigger house, the ability to stay home, etc… NOT for something that we all think, when we start to plan a family, that should be “easy”.
Good thoughts are coming your way for “Tens”. For those of us that struggle with having babies our fur-babies are our kids!!! During this process of getting pregnant, before we were successful with CCRM, we had to put down one of our kitties and it was SO hard – yet another loss! I understand how you feel having to worry about your pup, the successfulness of the surgery and that’s not to mention the cost. I applaud and admire you for doing it though – some wouldn’t.
Allow yourself to have the bad days; this too shall pass. We have a quote on our fridge - “Don’t be afraid to cry as it frees your heart from sorrow”
May your heart be free from sorrow…
Take good care of each other!

I have to agree. You didn't sound whiny to me. You saved the money and it is yours to spend as you like. That is why you saved it.
