My Journey
Goodbye Stress, Hello Shopping
Friday, Apr. 11, 2003 @ 4:35 p.m.

Hooray! This week was so busy, and I am glad that the stressful part of the week is over!

My hubby and I plan to do some shopping tonight. I'm sure it will help me to keep my find off of our infertility issues. After doing some research I'm actually feeling pretty good about our prospects for having children. It's just that I'm impatient. I wish my husband could see the specialist now instead of waiting until the summer.

I'm still spotting today, but my temps have gone down. I'm expecting my period to come tomorrow. That will mean a 28 day cycle this month. I haven't had one that long since July!

I turn 28 next week Friday. I'm starting to feel old. My mom didn't have me, her first living child, until she was 35. She married my dad when she was 33. A year after me she had my sister, and when she was 40 she had my brother. So I really have no reason to feel that I am getting too old to start a family. Of course my mother-in-law had already had my husband and was pregnant with her second child when she was my age....but I won't try to think about that:)
