In the pa...I really identified with that post too. In the past year I have NOT done so many things because I was waiting to get pregnant. <BR/><BR/>I even put off a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Zambia to visit my best friend who is there for work because I reasoned that since I had to plan it 6 months out there was no way of knowing what shape I'd be in....and so on. <BR/><BR/>I was hugely disappointed in myself when I realized what I'd done.<BR/><BR/>I got really angry for a while. I was angry at this phantom baby, that refused to show up, for ruining my young-ish years with my husband. For making me hate being a DINK. I was furious at this absentee child for robbing me of good times.<BR/><BR/>And then, one day I just kind of had a moment and I thought "Fuck this. I am going to live. Life's too short."<BR/><BR/>And I've been planning and plotting and buying plane tickets and marking days on the calendar far in advance. Because if I do get pregnant, I'll deal with it then. In the meantime, life goes on and so will I. <BR/><BR/>If I have to give up a $500 plane ticket at some point I'll be happy to do so. <BR/><BR/>Small price to pay.A'Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665877479249525739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671711145593963384.post-75112605643297794972007-10-21T03:20:00.000-04:002007-10-21T03:20:00.000-04:00We should be accountability buddies for each other...We should be accountability buddies for each other on this.
