Fortunate

Went to pick up my Estrace from the pharmacy today and the pharmacist, who looked to be around 22, said to me, "There were no specific, and, uh, um, I kinda could figure out what you were using it for, uh, so...." I told him that my doctor was going to tell me how to use it and then he said, "good, so you will see the doctor for more specific instructions, because it can be taken a lot of different ways" I said yes, then he said the same thing again and looked at me. I am not embarrassed or anything about fertility, but this interaction lasted a few minutes and ended with him blankly staring at me, it was awkward at best. 

Yesterday the husband and I were at Costco, buying what boiled down to a package of 20 packs of gum. We were in the longest check out line with three kids (1 under a year and the other two were probably 3 and 5). The two older children kept walking around the cart singing , tisket a tasket (which I previously to that moment, never knew all the words to), over and over and over and over---when we got in the car my husband said, I can do 1 maybe 2, but not 3! We then laughed in agreement at the fact that the father of these children had a desperate "get me out of here" look on his face. It was like he was in a daze and the mother was just cuddling the baby. Then we both talked about how much we like our lives now. Is that bad to say? I mean we really like our lives and if we don't have a baby, I think we will be fine. As long as there are children in the Costco line to remind us of how lucky we are to just need gum. Honestly, we can eat potato chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner and be totally fine. I suppose this doesn't sound like a fertility blog right now, but right now, this is how I feel and I make not apologies.

We went for Chinese food last night for my grandmother's 90th birthday--and this was my fortune, "Little acorns lead to mighty oaks.". For so many reasons I love it and it is so relevant.

My hope for today--that The King's Speech wins best picture--I really like it.
