My boys have blue eyes and mine are brown, but I carry a blue eyed gene. And I don't like that 'real' parent stuff either, the real parent is the one with the poop up her fingernails and a $5 opening balance on babies university fund. I would tell no one, as it is no one's business. These babies were conceived out of love. Period. Do non-DE conceptions go into detail? (yah, her leg was perpendicular to the headboard and I think I pulled a hamstring!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015297818107115773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218625895714675460.post-56295435674945741812009-10-20T15:43:00.778-04:002009-10-20T15:43:00.778-04:00Sometimes just voicing the fears takes away their ...Sometimes just voicing the fears takes away their powers.

For better or worse, most people know that our daughter is a DE baby. Most don't talk about us looking / acting similarly and when they do it seems forced to me. <br /><br />Anyway, I don't see a bit of me in our DD. Sometimes that hurts - especially when I see traits that I know exist both in our donor and in Brad but not in me. Since I am the primary care give right now, I know that is genes and not my womb environment nor the environment I create for her. Still, most of the time she is just who she is and it doesn't matter where her genes are from.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218625895714675460.post-35750947092591862682009-10-13T01:49:52.536-04:002009-10-13T01:49:52.536-04:00I'm an occasional reader and fellow DE Mommy m...I'm an occasional reader and fellow DE Mommy myself. And I can agree that when I start to feel "off" about the process, I get my feeling out, and then the issues seems to go away.<br /><br />I'm glad that you are feeling like a "normal" family. Its the best feeling isn't it?<br /><br />The other day, my DS's doctor asked me about eye problems in the family. I told him all about my father's eye condition and discussed how I'm screened for it on a regular basis by my docs. Then, there was a pause, and I realized that I needed to correct that statement - since there are no eye diseases on our donor's side. Duh!!!<br /><br />But, its a pretty great feeling when you forget. :-)Laniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987293453145285995noreply@blogger.com
