I think those of us arguing against having more children (at least the natural way) are annoyed with the younger parents because they don't seem to want to hear our experiences and actually grasp them. They want to stick to their beliefs and not take into account the experiences of those of us who have seen and been through the worst. They would rather believe that it could never happen to their child, rather than actually stop and think and say, "Hey, they're living it, perhaps I should take their opinion into account!"
I'm happy for the testimonials from Allie, Lisa, and others that have been where these younger parents are. If they won't listen to those who actually have the disease (which I can't understand, but hey...), perhaps they'll listen to people who have actually been down that path.

...Who knows if we'll have a 3rd? Only God does! If we get pregnant then it is God's will CF or not.</end quote></div>
This just annoyed me, sorry. YOU are the one who decides if you want another child. God doesn't just put the idea in your head that you're not going to use birth control. Sorry if that's vulgar, but the decision to have another child is a conscious one. Unless of course you're saying that you have no free will, which I doubt...
