Happy news: Down another pound. Yay.
Angry News: Called Dr. again today to remind them I am still waiting for that provera script. No call back. I am going to call them every day until they give me the darn thing, then write a nasty letter, then find a new doctor. This is stinkin ridiculous!
And the point of this post:
So Ana came over to day, and we did a old wives tale gen.der pre.diction test, the one where the momma to be pees in a cup of cry.stal dra.no. Pretty interesting, but no conclusive results. Guess she'll just have to wait (or spend the 30$ on the intell.igen.der test). Her little belly pokes over the front of her pants and its ever so cute. I am oh so jealous, but still excited for her, I think she's the first person I've felt like this for. She and her bf don't have much money to buy baby stuff, so I have been wanting to make her a quilt. I went to Targ.et today to look for material to make the quilt out of , and I swear people looked at me and grimaced as they saw me stand there in the baby aisle. Maybe it was because of the longing look I had on my face. Or perhaps it was because of the way my not so little tummy pooched over the front of my pants in it's obviously barren glory. Whatever the reason, they looked, and I'm sure thought "Impostor! You don't belong here in this aisle. Sad woman, go get a life, leave us and our adorable children to the baby aisle where we belong" I left the store without any material, only aheart full of longing that can't be quenched...........
Super-congrats on being down another pound.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether fertiles can really tell infertile impostors, but I've definitely felt that, too - some malign force possessed me in an outlet mall a couple of years ago to wander into motherhood maternity or whatever it's called (some trendy something) - I guess I had a friend who was expecting, and I thought I might be soon, too. That was before I was sporting the 14-week-pregnancy-tummy-without-the-pregnancy that I now have, so I was a very clear impostor. And I know I had a hunted look, just waiting for some salesgirl to walk up and say, "So when are YOU due?" The tenth of Never, dear. I beat a hasty retreat.
Have you tried looking at thrift stores for sheets as a source of quilting material? A brilliant idea I stole from Sarah at "still thinking again" - I tried it, but I only found one sheet I wanted, and it turned out to fit our bed, so now we're using it :)
