Updates

Ok, so I'm glad to say I finished my last clomid pill last night! W00t!
I didn't have too many s/e really, just a few nightly hot flashes, mild headaches and some irritability (I didn't think so but DH had a few suggestions). So all in all I came out unscathed. I have an appt with the RE this Saturday to do an u/s and see where I'm at right now and if the clomid has helped any. I'm a wee bit nervous for that, but overall pretty excited.

As for the rest of my life.... DH and I have been trying to spend more "weeknight quality time" together lately, which means I've been bumping less. I've had so much fun hanging out with him, and it's done wonders to our relationship.... but I'm kinda going through withdrawals too. I feel like I miss out on updates more from my ladies :( To add to that, every time I come back I'm overwhelmed by newbieness an it's a bit much lol

I'm looking forward to summertime, and hopefully having good results with clomid (pg or not)

A Reflective Poem

I WILL BE

There are women that become mothers without effort, without thought, without patience or loss and though they are good mothers and love their children, I know that I will be better.

I will be better not because of genetics, or money or that I have read more books but because I have struggled and toiled for this child. I have longed and waited. I have cried and prayed. I have endured and planned over and over again.

Like most things in life, the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams.
I will notice everything about my child.
I will take time to watch my child sleep, explore and discover.
I will marvel at this miracle every day for the rest of my life.
I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold and feed him and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream. My dream will be crying for me.

I count myself lucky in this sense; that I have been given me this insight,
this special vision with which I will look upon my child that my friends will not see.

Whether I parent a child I actually give birth to or a child that I am led to, I will not be careless with my love.

I will be a better mother for all that I have endured.
I am a better wife, a better aunt, a better daughter, neighbor, friend and sister because I have known pain.I know disillusionment as I have been betrayed by my own body. I have been tried by fire and hell many never face, yet given time, I stood tall.

I have prevailed. I have succeeded. I have won.

So now, when others hurt around me, I do not run from their pain in order to save myself discomfort. I see it, mourn it, and join them in theirs.
I listen.

And even though I cannot make it better, I can make it less lonely. I have learned the immense power of another hand holding tight to mine, of other eyes that moisten as they learn to accept the harsh truth and when life is beyond hard. I have learned a compassion that only comes with walking in those shoes.

I have learned to appreciate life. Yes I will be a wonderful mother.
