This week’s “A Little More” post at ParentDish is about the numbers 91, 33, 28, 21, 12, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. It’s also about secondary infertility and the unexpected gift of my twin pregnancy.

A good lesson for us all in remembering how unique and special each of our children is, and how it’s our responsibility as their parents to embrace that and celebrate it.
Thanks for reminding me of that.
How difficult it is not to compare. I fear I put too much value on the achievements of other kids—the things they can do, the things my son can’t. I know it’s wrong, but sometimes I can’t help myself.
How right you are to remind me to let it go.
Great post, again.

The cherry on my sundae of a day. (Remember, I always save your blog for last.
) Thanks. I will drift off to sleep a little weepier but filled with gratitude and love for my son. And for the simple beauty of words and wisdom from a newfound friend.
Beautifully written. I am just learning about having to let go of expectations and comparisons. It’s not always easy, is it.
I loved this post all about #s. I know, sort of, what you mean about the infertility #s. It took us 13 months w/Kayla and it’s been over a year again that we’ve been TTC#2.
