For us women, it is also about being able to experience pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is HUGE. The idea of not passing on my genetics never bothered me, but the thought of not being able to be pregnant or breastfeed my baby was.Chickenpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442755180328605920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937906571580018268.post-86183969598281873682011-04-27T20:42:40.618-04:002011-04-27T20:42:40.618-04:00Thank you, Larry!

Your attitude about what parenting should be is something I don't hear enough, and you are right. Parenting is about "raising a child with our values and teaching them to have their own." You and Keiko are going to be world-class parents.jjiraffehttp://jjiraffe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937906571580018268.post-47836635846151181712011-04-27T15:46:40.546-04:002011-04-27T15:46:40.546-04:00thank you for your post.

Men are such a different species but the thing about them is that their hurt and empathy isn't less than our own. <br /><br />I am so glad that Keiko has you. That she found a soulmate that doesn't get mired in the whys, hows, whats and knows that when you become a family, however that eventually happens, that you have found the mother of your children. <br /><br />you are both so lucky to have each other on this TTC journey.Kirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894442143508446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937906571580018268.post-8277429265408041452011-04-27T10:39:22.705-04:002011-04-27T10:39:22.705-04:00Larry - thank you so much for your brave and thoug...Larry - thank you so much for your brave and thoughtful words. I also ask my partner to guest post here and there (and he also procrastinates greatly ;-). It is so nice for us to hear the male perspective on all of this. I didn't think it was possible but I am now even more inspired and in awe of Keiko and her life and relationship. You two are amazing souls and I'm so thankful to have "known" you. Thank you very much for this post.Esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375150088333673843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937906571580018268.post-38507703766297258632011-04-27T10:17:03.629-04:002011-04-27T10:17:03.629-04:00Hi Keiko,

Thank you for clearly speaking out about your love and support for your wife and for acknowledging the growth that she has experienced as your still small family has struggled with IF. Her growth and determination, your support and your joint commitment to marriage & family light the way for so many right now! Blessed be both of you. :)Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811690314497763047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937906571580018268.post-49136838047643742042011-04-27T09:32:25.171-04:002011-04-27T09:32:25.171-04:00Thank you so much for these insights into the male...Thank you so much for these insights into the male perspective. They do help me to understand what might be going on inside my husband's head, a little better.<br /><br />What you said about most men feeling that the most important thing is the end result of having a family, not how you got there or whose genes were involved, was especially moving. Thank you so much for sharing this particular insight.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614983212919126632noreply@blogger.com
