I had to post this brief exchange between me and Catch from this morning because I don’t want it to disappear amidst a sea of “headed home,” “leftovers for dinner,” or “we need a wambulance.” (The latter meaning, “We are on a walk and Rolo is refusing to move his legs. Can you come pick us up?”)
Every once in a while, she surprises me by saying the exact right thing at the exact right moment, and I want to hold onto it forever.
Onward, upward, forward, etc. TTC cycle #5 will kick off with a nice round of Clomid–hopefully sometime in mid-October, but really, I should just keep my predictions to myself and shut my damn mouth because there isn’t ANYTHING about TTC that has gone according to ANY plan–A, B, or otherwise.
I get so angry/sad/frustrated thinking about this total chaos that sometimes it’s hard for me to stick to my beliefs. I am one of those crazy people who really believes that everything happens for a reason. I know this difficulty is going to serve some purpose in my life. At some point. I can’t see it now, but someday it will click.
This thing–creating a life, starting a family, becoming a parent–is so much bigger than the ability of my ovaries to ovulate within a reasonable time frame. I need to drag my focus away from these two egg producing masses and toward the bigger picture.
*thats the sound of the towel being thrown in

I really hope things go better for you guys this cycle, everything I’ve read about having babies seems to suggest that nothing ever goes according to plan.
That is the sweetest text exchange. I’m glad you preserved it.
