Opposites

Whenever I hear of  a friend or acquaintance who has fallen pregnant I am over the moon happy for them.  Truly.  I get so excited.  I practically do handstands and cartwheels for them.  I love listening to pregnancy stories and birth stories.  I think it is such a blessing to share in these miracles as women, friends and sisters.

But…

A small not so small part of me stamps her foot, pouts her lips and whines ‘why not me?’

Why is it taking so long?  Why did I have to try for 6 months before being told to take Clomid?  Why did I take the Clomid anyway because my damn tubes were blocked so the Clomid did jack shit?  Why? Why? Why?

I know my chances have increased 100% since having the lap in December and that this month might very well be THE month.  I know I have no right to whine and complain, 9 months is nothing, there are women who wait 9 years or more to have a baby.  9 months really isn’t that long.  I know that I am so blessed to have a son already!!

Maybe I just needed to vent, get it out there and let go of it so that I can move on with trying to fall pregnant.

As I stand now I am in the dreaded two week wait (2WW).  Hold thumbs!

A trip down memory lane

I scanned in some old photos last night.  Here are a few of my faves!

Possibly my favourite photo of my parents
This one too!
Awkward Family Photo? You decide.
Yes, I once was blonde...
