Fertility

2026-03-26

Last week was very very hard children wise. Our oldest got a 102F fever and one day was very very sick, he napped an extra five hours that day. Our youngest was healthy but he was not in school because of spring break. So for a day we had two kids at home and for one day we had one day at home last week.

And so it is much harder to work, and I felt bad, again having sick children is heartbreaking.

And in this mini episode I felt very uncomfortable and defeated. In my head I know that I love kids and that they bring me joy and fulfillment but in my heart I was so tired of taking care of kids.

But Sneha and I got through it, and it gave me time to reflect. I am super grateful to be able to have two healthy kids and I really appreciate all of the fertility medicine we were able to take advantage of. Without science we would have no kids. And so even though our kids are ill or drain us of our energy and time, overall they are amazing and are a mini miracle of science. And hopefully they take care of us when we are old, just kidding kind of.

Very grateful to be a parent but also very tired.
