We’ve now been getting to know our daughter for 3 months, and apart from the sleep deprivation and not really having a clue what we’re doing most of the time, it’s been incredible. And today, when I was putting her down for a nap, I started thinking about if I would actually want to have been able to have a baby naturally now if I could by some miracle of science. And I really think the answer is no. Yes, there is the odd moment when I think she hasn’t got my genes and won’t inherit any of my physicalities, but if I had had a baby naturally with my egg and Mr M’s sperm, our baby wouldn’t be the gorgeous girl we’ve got now. It could be an equally gorgeous (and I’m fully aware I am totally biased about how cute she is) girl, or boy, but it wouldn’t be this little girl, and now, even after only a few short months with her, I can’t imagine life without her. So, if that means a choice between having a baby naturally or having our daughter we’ve got now, I’d choose egg donation and this little bundle every time.
