I survived

Today was my ninth Mother's Day. 

My ninth as an infertile woman. 

I'm almost thankful that it was also my school's First Communion because I was able to focus on something else besides my sorry self. 

It was all good until the priest made the mothers in the congregation stand up. I was thankful for the fidgety kid that couldn't pay attention for the life of him. 

But this year was a bit different.

We're waiting for our homestudy to be approved. All of our paperwork has been submitted and we have to wait to be paired with a social worker with C.AS. 

I'm essentially pg on paper. 

And my crazy mother was a little less crazy today. She felt sorry for me for having to work on a Sunday, so she made us dinner. After we ate we took her out for ice cream. 

Oh, how I wish she could always be less crazy. 

I have prayed this for almost ten years, but I really hope that this is my last childless Mother's Day. I think I've spent enough time in barren purgatory. 

Thank God for margaritas and vegan, gluten-free cupcakes!

  9. I never thought about counting barren Mother's Days....it's good you had a diversion...and I did as well. Last Mother's day...my brother's step daughter announced she was pg with twins. I had a good day until then....glad this one came without any big announcements for both of us!

  10. I'm hoping and praying that next year you'll have a child in your arms! I was really thankful that this year our priest included the mother's blessing after everyone had already stood up for the final blessing. I thought that was a great way of doing it and had never seen that before. My heart and prayers are with you!
