First of all, welcome back! I missed you and had been thinking about you and kept checking your blog hoping everything was okay. I’m delighted to learn you were simply thinking in the shower but not blogging! :) Anyway, yes, we will all make a poor choice now and then, but no need to flog yourself for learning as much as you can about things you’ll need to know. Actually, if you want to write a post summarizing your new found knowledge about cloth diapers, I’d be grateful to learn from your hard work! I’m so glad you and baby girl are doing well! Happy November!

I really like this post too. I often wonder if (when I actually do get pregnant) I’ll act as I imagine I would. And reading your post really clarified a very important point. This process changes you. It’s just the way it is, we have been on this path too long not to get changed by it. Every experience we have in life changes who we are and how we deal with the world doesn’t it? A friend (who is not infertile) was complaining to me the other day about another friend who is very protective of her newborn baby. Friend A thought that the mother should let others look after the baby for a while and thought it was crazy that she was a bit protective of the baby. I had to bite my lip because I thought to myself “i’d probably be like that too” After travelling this IF road for so long I’ll probably never want to let my baby out of my sight (if/when I actually get pregnant) and so I could understand why other mothers might feel this way. Might not seem logical to others and it might not be healthy but it made perfect sense to me. It’s all so easy to sit back and have an idealised view on how people should behave but in reality we all do the best we can and just because we choose a different way of dealing or coping with situations it does not mean we are wrong. Your journey is your journey so live it the way that feels right to you! :)

What a great post! So many of us can relate to exactly what you are saying! There are days when I feel like time has gone so slow, and I’m not really enjoying this pregnancy as much as I should. Thanks for sharing and congrats on 20 weeks!!!

Oh, how I love this post. So much of what you said has been my experience too. Thinking I was pregnant right away. Having grand plans. And how being pregnant, and staying pregnant, has been different that I imagined. Good, but not full of cupcakes and sunshine. But in a way, it’s a good thing. Because the experience is less about me and the need to fulfill my fantasy pregnancy, and more about daily gratitude. Gratitude each time I hear the heartbeat. Each time I pee and see no pink tinged TP. Each time I feel the firm fullness of my belly. And gratitude is humbling and fulfilling in ways that an adorable maternity top could never be.

So congratulations on reaching 20 weeks! Thank God for your precious daughter. For her survival. For the absence of bleeding. For the movements that you now feel. For being half way there. Congratulations, my friend.

That’s awesome. Give it up for the REs!!! My RE also called after I sent her a thank you note and picture of me with Zachary after he was born. I, too, thought it was SO sweet :).

That was really nice of him to call and see how you two are doing :)

I’m sure everyone at the clinic appreciated the treats and recognition, too. (I can’t believe you’re so far along already – crazy!)

Well I think it was nice of YOU to drop off the cookies and the thank you note. But what a nice surprise for the RE himself to call. To take the time. I’m sure he had a million things awaiting him. Nothing like a little pick-me-up!
