A wise lady told me today about gifts wrapped in shit. OK not literal shit. :)
But basically...we all go through shit. Life throws shit our way all the time. Being infertile is definitely shitty. However, my friend told me that there is a gift wrapped in that shit. We might not know it yet or think there is anything there. If we look deep enough, we will find the lesson in all of the shit and then be able to help others.
So this is my experience with IF. My experience and blog and support for you is my gift that I found out of the shit that is IF. :)
Personally, I don't think I'm quite out of the sifting through shit phase yet because we're still not pregnant ....BUT I'm trying to live through it and help at least someone else realize that they are not alone in this.
On another note, I'm scheduled for my transfer on the 22nd. I found out about a week ago that I have jury duty starting the 26th (yay....not) and it might conflict. Since I don't know how to get out of jury duty in the short period of time I have, I wanted to make sure everything was going to be okay with the transfer first. So after some phone tag with the doctor's office, we had a date. Now I think that still depends on how my body reacts to the Lupron and Estrace I'm on. I have another appointment on Friday the 9th to check things out. So cross your fingers that everything will go smoothly and the 22nd will be the lucky day. I am then taking 2 days off from doing anything other than TV and maybe the computer. No working or cleaning. I'm even missing a big birthday party for one of my friends.
But this is super important. So I'm sorry....but that's how it goes.
Also, for those of you who know me IRL, please do not buy me any baby books (about having babies not books to read to babies) or pregnancy books. Now that one of my FAVORITE stores is going out of business,I have acquired a HUGE collection of books. I probably shouldn't have purchased them since we're not pregnant yet but they were SUCH a good deal. Seriously...it was like they were giving them away.
I will have to count them later and cringe at how many I have. I like to think of it as being optimistic. I find it hard buying actual baby items right now unless I buy it for my niece or friends. I like to think of the books as "hope" pieces and hopefully not books that will collect dust on the shelves.
Also, if I know you IRL, don't be surprised if you get a book as a present when you get preggers. LOL
But I promise it won't be wrapped in shit. :)
Happy Baby Wishes,
TheMrs
PS I can't see my followers list. Anyone know how to fix that??
I heard a story about shit once too...2 boys were put in rooms. One boy had all the latest toys and video games and played for about an hour and then complained there wasn't anything to do. The second boy was in a room full of shit and even after several hours, the boy was still throwing shit around and not complaining at all. When the boy was asked what he was doing, he said, "somewhere underneath all of this shit, THERE HAS TO BE A PONY!!!" So I was always told to find the pony when I felt life was too shitty.
ReplyDeleteI hope all things go well for your transfer on 9/22....I will most definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers....
And I wish I had been smart enough to do a little shopping before that store closed too...
LOL that's a good shit story too! There is some time still. About 8 more days and everything is 60-80% off right now at Borders. It will be picked over but even today I found more. LOL
