I was leaving a parking lot and saw a woman get into her van with her son, light up a cigarette in one hand, dial her cell phone with the other AND start to pull out of a spot. Come on...I know we can do better than that! <br />It is so very ok that it bugs you and I know most of us have those very same thoughts. xoxoAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578516986519734919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132101063238572308.post-32310554838327785062010-04-12T09:52:52.582-04:002010-04-12T09:52:52.582-04:00I'm attracting the preggo women too.

It's like there's an inverse proportion of the amount that you want and are able to care for a child and the ability to actually conceive one...<br /><br />But I also think it's too easy to judge someone else's life and ability to parent, and I know I wouldn't want someone asking if I'm a "good enough" mother to have my own child.gwinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840990153103781272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132101063238572308.post-45647231365043850402010-04-12T03:21:13.653-04:002010-04-12T03:21:13.653-04:00Gah...it's so frustrating, isn't it? I wor...Gah...it's so frustrating, isn't it? I work in a hospital's birth center (oh, the irony!), dealing with pregnant ladies and new babies 5 days a week. The things I'm consulted on? Teen moms, addicted/substance abusing moms, moms with lack of prenatal care, incarcerated moms, etc. Most days I am able to compartmentalize my frustration, but other days it's a truly difficult feat. I know that it's inappropriate to get into who is "more deserving", but it seems so incredibly unfair that these ladies get to hold a little bundle of joy at the end of the day. Total mindfuck. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm hanging in there. Thanks for asking! I spent all weekend googling embryo images and comparing them to mine. Sick, right? My beta isn't until 4/26, which feels like a lifetime away. I'll probably start to get more antsy as that creeps closer.Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133740026125341736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132101063238572308.post-50303504678677326852010-04-12T01:21:34.383-04:002010-04-12T01:21:34.383-04:00I hear you sister.I hear you sister.inBetweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212548401525577878noreply@blogger.com
