Thanks for the info about the scholarship Julie. The money really isn't the issue for us and there is no way we would qualify for the scholorship. It is more of a "bringing a child into this world" issue, if that makes any sense. Gess is really hesitant to do that because of the CF. For me, I really want the experience of being pregnant (I know that sounds selfish)...so... Anyway, we actually had a good conversation about it last night and I think that Gess is understanding my point of view more. So...I am sure that we will have many many more discussions about it. And if we do go the IVF route, we will definitely go with your doc Julie--having someone familiar with male CF would be great. Thanks again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Lisa, if Gess ever wants to talk to someone else (I know it's different for males than for us), Mark is available and very open to others with CF about his decisions. It wasn't an easy decision for us either, we had a lot of "what if" questions. And i completely understand you wanting to be pregnant, I felt that same way and I wouldn't say it's selfish- rather normal actually.

Whatever you guys decide is going to be just right for you, and if you need people along the way to talk to, you know where to find us <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

P.S. we still need to get together!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks Julie. I think that it would be helpful for Gess to talk to someone like Mark and he has shown some interest in doing that (with Mark specifically for some reason), so we'll see. And yes, we definitely need to get together!
