Well, it's almost a year since my last post. I'm going to go on a bit of a rant, so if you don't want to see it, just click off now.

Just over a year ago my husband & I thought we might be bringing a new little life into this world, but it wasn't meant to be. We figured it would be no time at all that we could make another one, but it has not been the case. As I approach 42, I feel a bit of panic, since most doctors are harbingers of bad news when it comes to babies after age 40. Mind you, my Ob/Gyn was very optimistic about the fact that we were able to conceive with no aids and within about 5mos of trying more diligently. Add in the fact that my husband is in MD 5 days a week and I am in PA, and this could also contribute to the problem. But my biggest pet peeve is folks who don't even know me sending out "announcements" about someone having a baby. I realize now that always just off to the side, just out of range from the picture, are those who struggle with this issue and are in pain because of it. And many, MANY people do not even take a moment to consider those people, they just go ON and ON and ON about their new baby, their pregnancy, etc, as if everyone in the world can just snap their fingers and get pregnant.

It's frustrating, and it's painful to go through. I keep praying that God will see to it that we have a baby, but I just wish these insensitive people would stop e-mailing me with the "latest news" of someone I don't even know who just had their 3rd baby.
