Here I Am!

OK, I know. Everyone who can type has a blog. So why do I even bother? Well, I think that this may help myself from going crazy. "Why would Jody be going crazy?", you might be asking yourself. Well, the short of it is, is that my husband and I have been trying to start a family for 3, yes three, years now. I know, it isn't that long. But we are 28. It seems like every friend of ours is pregnant. Everyone on Facebook is pregnant or already a parent. Boohoo! Right?! Yeah, yeah. I know. But the kicker is, I am a pediatric nurse. You know who I am. The nice, wonderful woman that calls your child back from the waiting room, asks how your children are, measures your child, watches your child grow up from a distance. YOUR child! Do you know how many times a day I am asked, "do you have children?" A lot. But it's OK. I reply politely, "No, not yet; but we are still young! I have lots of children here to watch grow." But um, excuse me for being blunt, I want a kid! So there it is. I'm writing this blog to help me from going crazy. (I hope the hubby won't mind...)

So, I'm sure you're wondering, "Well if you want a kid, why don't you just have one?" Well...sure, we hadn't thought of that. Thanks, problem solved. :\  What was that word they used back in the 90s? Oh yeah, "Duh!" I'll stop blogging now. But seriously. We can't. Plain and simple, we can't. No one is to blame. I have some problems, hubby has some problems. My OB/GYN says it's going to be a long road, and hubby's doctor says it's going to be a long road, so why not take a shortcut? So after three years, we are on to the next step.

I've heard about this miracle doctor, Dr. B. She is supposed to be the best! Highest success rate in the city! OK, a few hitches. Insurance, not so great. Schedules are busy, but when is it a good time? Finances, if you're rich enough to have a baby, then you are probably too old.... bazinga! So, who cares...we are moving on! Dr. B has scheduled an appointment with us! WOOHOO!!

Well, if you haven't caught on, this will be my journey blog. Hopefully with some support, I won't go crazy, we might get pregnant, and we might become parents! If no one reads this, oh well, at least it is outside of my head and some of the crazy has been let out. Thanks for listening, comment if you like.

Until next time... (ps the appt is 12/19!)
