Angry Bah!

Just wanting to do a small rant:

Getting prenant's hard. Haven't reached the time of "something's wrong with me" panic yet, but I am getting annoyed.

Sigh.

Rant over.

I remember those days. Or years, rather. We have 5 kids now though, and I'd be ranting if I found out I was pregnant again. LOL

Hang in there.

I understand. Turn your thoughts to other things. Have fun. You might be surprised. I've heard too very many stories of those who adopt and stop "trying" only to find out they are pregnant and end up with two babies OR adopt 3-4 and then end up having two of their own. Stress does affect our bodies. Try to not stress about it too much.

clarification: two of their own doesn't mean the ones they adopted aren't their own. sorry bad wording.

Thanks for reading it. I really do try not to worry about it and do other things. But right now one of my best friends is having medical intervention and I guess I'm trying not to get paranoid.

Tangent rant:

I get really annoyed when I hear people say things like this. I've heard these stories too, but I've known too many people for whom this WASN'T the case. I've also heard too many stories of well-meaning yet insensitive people telling those struggling with infertility: "You need to have more faith. The Lord can do anything!" As if it's their fault they can't conceive. Just because the Lord can do anything doesn't mean that will.

End tangent rant. Nothing personal, apple -- I just hear it too often, and I have too many friends dealing with infertility. Okay, maybe not personal against you, but because of the people in my life, it's become personal to me. Anyway, I'll just say what I said and leave it at that.

Ooooh... I remember those pregnancy days. Hell on earth it was. Especially for my husband.

I have tons of throw pillows... and that's really what they're for. THROWING!

A long time ago I read that the average amount of time it takes to get pregnant is about 8 to 10 months. I don't know if that's changed but I do agree that the waiting is the hardest.

So NOT true for me. I can get pregnant even if my husband thinks about sending over a sperm.

All sorts of curses, I guess.....

(Not to be insensitive to Backroads. If I could send you my super powers I would.)
