Make New Friends

As the Girl Scout "anthem" goes, make new friends but keep the old...

This weekend I made a new friend.  We were at my  brother-in-law's Cinco de Mayo birthday party and I started chatting with a girl (L) about my age.  I knew that she had done 2 IUIs so of course we started chatting about our journeys with infertility. Come to find out, we both see Dr. W, and both of our husbands feel the same way about him!  We had a lovely conversation.  Lately I've been feeling as if no one truly understands me and that I can't truly explain myself.  It's so hard to explain to someone how one day can be wonderful but then the next day feels as if the world weighs heavily upon me, and like everything is too much. It's also hard to explain how you can be both elated for someone and depressed at the same time.  So, it was really nice to have someone to talk to, someone to reassure me that I'm not crazy and that these things are normal.  Of course, her situation is very different than mine, but I definitely found a kindred spirit in her.  I'm praying that her next IUI brings her a beautiful, perfect spring 2013 baby. 

On another note, I had a dream this weekend that I was trying to dial a phone number and the numbers kept getting all switched around on me so I could never complete the call.  This seems to be along the same lines as the dream I had last week, that I was running a marathon but there was no finish line, so I just kept on running.  Anyone notice a theme here?!!

With a busy work week ahead of me and no end in sight to my crazy, whacked out cycle, I'm already ready for this week to be over!
