In the last post, Jessy asked if we feel like V will complete our family or will we try for another. Most likely V will be the caboose on the end of this train.

However, Hubby has said a few times lately that he'd like us to adopt a baby girl from China! Acckk! I told him if he is serious we'd better start THAT paperwork right now! He turned 40 last week and I entered my perpetual 39 years in August! I can already feel the difference in my stamina from when we adopted D when I was 34 years old. It is soooooo true that once you pass 35 you just change!

Also, it is quite a strange feeling being 10 years older than most of the other moms of D's kindergarten peers and I'll be more like 15 years older than the moms when V gets to Kindergarten. If we adopted again I would be closer to 20 years older!!!!!

It is nearly impossible that we would have a baby naturally. Over the nearly 12 years that we have been married I have been pregnant 4 times with no medical assistance (that's an average of every 3 years that I get pregnant) but the longest I've been able to carry the baby is 11 weeks. Our infertility is unexplained. We went through about 4 years of infertility treatment off and on and never did I get pregnant on the treatments, it was always out of the blue. Let me just say that these 9 months of waiting for V's courtdate and being extra super careful is starting to get really, really old! Because you just know that when I absolutely do not want to get pregnant, that's when it would happen. But it would be the pittiest of the pits to have a miscarriage as an American in a Russian hospital!

So in short, Jessy, V will, with 99% surety, be the last little Y in this branch of the family tree.
