[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one OE and one DE.  I love them the same.  The feelings about genetics are different than the love and affection I feel.  There's a recognition you feel when there's a visible genetic link but plenty of people have kids that favor their spouse exclusively or don't look like either parent (lots of recessive traits). I do still wish in a tiny way that my DE kid had come from my egg but he's a pretty amazing person with some fantastic qualities and I wouldn't want to change him.[/quote]

This is me.  One of each and love them the same.

I think pregnancy can be scary! My first was so much older and we had been trying for years that when I finally got pregnant I was like “what have I done!”  “I’ve messed it all up!”  We were free of childcare expenses and all that!  And we were about to start over.  Even though the pregnancy was relatively easy we didn’t believe it pretty much until the day baby was born.  I didn’t talk about it.  I didn’t really get a belly so most people at work had no idea until I was out on maternity leave.  No Facebook post.  Family only knew because there was a wedding and my dress made it obvious. (My parents passed away so no one to spread the word so to speak.). It was weird and felt weird the whole time.

DE kid is amazing.  Can’t imagine life any other way.  She’s exactly who she needs to be and we are so lucky to have her![/quote]
