The "M" word...

In this case it's for "mother" as in Mothers Day... I guess it's Mothers Day right now... it is after midnight. It's a sad day for those of us that are TTC or struggling with IF... It's a cross-cultural reminder that we are in fact... not a mother. For many of us we could say that we are not mothers today... but we will be soon! Yet the fear of IF is at it's peak on this day, when we should be our reminding our own moms that they are the best and that we are eternally thankful for them, we can't. Our own desire to have a child of our own taxes our thoughts today.



The sadness grows in our hearts and as we look around us we are reminded that we are in fact not a mother, and some of us may never be... While "there is always adoption" resonates through are thoughts... that is not a guarantee. And besides... we want to watch our belly grow, we want to feel our baby move and kick inside us, we want to experience breastfeeding... all the things that the "typical" mother gets to experience...
