Things you need in life............

How nice it would be if it were really that simple!

Busted Uterus? Duct tape it.

Rusty tubes and slow swimmers? Add a litte WD40 and voila!!!! smooth sailing all around.

This is where my mind wanders off into it's own little world.....

A world that contains the following equations:

love-making = pregnancy AND
pregnancy = healthy baby

A girl can dream right????

Funny how although we are now actively pursuing adoption to build our family that there is still this tiny sniggling infertility voice in the nether regions of my brain that continues to speak to me.

The conversations generally go something like this:

IF: "Hey Jenn, Jenn.....Jennnnnnnn!!!!"

JENN: "What do you want? (said with disgust, annoyance and eyes rolling)

IF: "Why don't you just try ONE more time?" "Just ONE more cycle"

JENN: "Are you fucking retarded? - We have been through this already. ENOUGH"

IF: "Easy there sparky.....I am NOT retarded (Bitch!- said under her breath)"

JENN: "Sorry about that....just a little touchy today"

IF: "No problem - although I guess your moodiness can't be blamed on TTC anymore eh?"
(snickers to herself)

JENN: "Nice - and thank you for that reminder"

IF: "Hey Jenn, Jenn, .........JENN!!!!!!!!!!!"

JENN: "WHAT.....for God's sakes.....WHAT?"

IF: "Jenn - you know you hear stories all the time about woman in their late thirties/early forties, with fertility problems, finally 'relaxing', starting adoption classes and POOF!!! they get preggers" "Maybe that will happen for you"

JENN: "Fat chance there Capt Optimism.....I have a better chance of losing 100lbs, putting on a bikini and performing on Dancing With the Stars"

IF: "Wow.....thanks for that visual (shudders to herself)" "But still.....It could happen!"

JENN: "Doubtful - Now Can we talk about something else.....like maybe chocolate or kittens?"

IF: "Sheesh.........only trying to help" "Chocolate........mmmm! You gonna get me some?"

And then my mind wanders off to a land of chocolate AND kittens!!! A great combination I say!

So speaking of adoption stuff:
We are officially signed up to start the adoption classes through the county.
They start May 4th and run through June. They are twice a week from 6p - 9p.

We decided to pursue going through the county to help defray some of the costs involved with this process. In the meantime, we are going to actively continue to put the word out and search for a birth mother on our own.

Hopefully this is the right route for us to take - but I am sure we will learn as we go along.
As for our new little "Furbaby - Zoey"....
Took her to the vet yesterday to check out her eye.
She has an upper respiratory infection and eye infection as well.
The doc put her on a liquid antibiotic and eye ointment.
She is in otherwise good health - she weighs in at a whopping 1lb.

She is a total escape artist and we had to be pretty creative to find something to keep her in her room - using a storm window as a gate.

Last night when I put her back in her room, I noticed she had tinkled in her litter box for the first time!!! WOOHOO!!!! Such a big girl!!! I was so excited and shocked that I actually called my parents to tell them. (Yep - I am THAT big of a dork!)

Can you imagine when we get our child? OY VEY?

I am hanging in there - caught a bit of a cold myself this week.
I don't know who is sneezing and snarfing more....me or Zoey.

That's the scoop for now....Wishing you all a chocolate and kitten filled week!!!
