It's been a learning experience?? I don't think I've given it that much thought, to be honest, until after I dropped off the application, signed contracts, and the first sizable check (of many). I don't even think I've shed a tear, but it's hard to keep track since I cry at things like "How to Train your Dragon" or "UP" or "Grey's Anatomy" (Eric's saying crocodile tears in my head right now). I do know that at first there was frustration, and then you start seeing strollers everywhere. And then there are tests.. and more tests.. and more painful tests.. and soon you become a blood giving expert (Yet, I don't miss my weekly blood draws) , and then you hear about a 60 year old get pregnant (Ok, not really). After the tests and failed medicine (Did succeed in making me feel miserable for weeks on end) and being told your husband could impregnate the entire state of Jersey (Just what I wanted to hear??) you pretty much just take the news as "it is what it is". Sure, I think it's unfair in lots of aspects, but for the most part it's one of those "blessings in disguise". I've always said that I wanted to adopt, and even before marriage Eric and I both expressed wanting to adopt, but sometimes it's a lot easier said than done. The more tests there were the more I was pushed to wanting adoption more then a battle of medications and possible failed pregnancies. I'm sure this will be one of the many questions during our home study so it's a good thing I've prepared a statement.. HAHA.
Next step: Taking classes.. (I'm positive I will have a better smart a%& remark than the one in my head right now)
