# My latest craving is pizza.
# I have been quite well as such. But a point on my lower back now seems to be too eager to confirm its presence. Especially when I lie down on my back, it is as if the whole tension is concentrated on that one point. Thankfully, the pain disappears as soon as I turn and lie on my left/right side.
# Frankly, I appreciate that I am on the path of having kids later than sooner. Make no mistake, I am not appreciating infertility. I am actually happy that parenthood is not a blech-obvious-succession thing for me.
Case in point: A friend's friend X got married in December last year and she is due this December. X has still not adapted well with her new setting, but 'since she got married late, and had to have kids anyways', she actually did not think about whether or not to become a parent already. How can having kids be equated with the same ease as having laxatives for constipation?
She did not think of her reproductive choices, she did not consider whether she really wanted it, and she had no choices anyways.
# And I had a very strange dream on the night between Wednesday and Thursday.

Why would she not think of choices...I just don't get that. It is so weird to be on this side of the fence, right? Mmm, pizza sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in that I don't appreciate infertility but I do appreciate and value what it gave me...perspective, a true appreciation of what I have, the particular child I have, and especially the wonderful community I'm part of.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was preggers with J, I was on bed rest the entire time. The pizza place knew my voice on the phone and would say "Ok, Heather, give us about half an hour..." So embarrassing, but SO good! ;)
ReplyDeletewhat do you think the dream might mean?
ReplyDeleteInfertility definitely forces you to evaluate what you really want and puts your wants and your possibilities in stark contrast, sometimes.
