Post IVF: My Frozen Embryos

-
It's that time of the year when I get the annual bill for my frozen embryos. Every year, I had to pay roughly around 400Dollars for the storage fees. I have heard from some that many of those who were successful on their first try opted to donate or not to have the embryos implanted. My hubby and I were discussing it and some questions were raised. Was it possible to freeze the eggs and sperms separately? What will happen to the embryos if we decide not to have them implanted? How will we feel if we donate them? Truth be told, I am trying my best to get in the best shape so I can have maybe one or two more kids. Having them will trigger a lot of changes to everyone in the household and will also have a huge impact on our finances. I'm giving ourselves two years to prepare. Hope the best is on our side! ;)

Ever since the twins were allowed to enter play floors, we have been bringing them over to such places to let them interact with other kids to improve their socialization skills. This and to let them have a bit of physical activities. It's such a shame though, that we do not have enough public playgrounds for the little ones, and the ones that are existing are not well maintained. Now this generations play areas are in malls and we have to pay a fee so they can have fun. We have been frequenting Trinoma lately since it's near our place and we love this mall because it isn't very crowded and even if the airconditioning is bad most of the time. There are some playfloors that my kids love to visit and everytime we are at the mall my twins would pester us to let them in and play.  Here are the play ar...
