sublime reality.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted ininfertility, photography, pregnancy

Five years is a long time to wait for a baby.

A really long time.

When you compare five years to 40 weeks…pregnancy flies by.

When you’re trying to have a baby for any amount of time, let alone years, you already live your life in weeks.

Week one: Period.

Week two: Ovulation and copulation.

Week three: Waaaaaiiiitttiiinnngggg.

Week four: Stick peeing.

Back to week one with more Ben and Jerry’s than the month before.

There is a room set up with a crib, a rocking chair and a changing table.

There are tiny freshly washed clothes in a new dresser.

Bought two years ago. I touched it for the first time today.

There are hundreds of diapers and wipes tucked away in a closet.

burp cloths.

There are tiny little baby treasures from all over the country just waiting.

There is a curly haired imp who is already blaming her little sister for things.

There is a man who is going to be a father to two daughters.

And a girl who still can’t believe this is really happening to her.

  7. Wow didn’t realize our due dates were only two weeks apart. I have also been waiting quite a while but I don’t think I’d say this is flying by. 😉 The suspense is making me nuts! I am very excited for you!

  10. I got pregnant with #1 my first month off birth control. #2 took 6 months and a miscarriage midway through. #3 took almost a year to conceive. It was the longest and hardest time for me. But he was SO worth the wait. 🙂 Enjoy this next one. She’ll be so sweet.

  15. This. Is. Precious.

    So happy for you…it’s good to see that even though it may take a little while, it CAN happen. My little sis & her husband have been trying for almost 3 yrs. Hoping they have the same wonderful results as you very, very soon! Enjoy every moment! 😉

  30. Y’know, you’d think after all this time I would have learned NOT to read your blog at work. Silly me. And now I cry. Beautiful, beautiful post.

    Also, there’s no way I could be happier for you. Squee, I say. SQUEE! 😀

    It couldn’t have happened to a nicer family. I can’t WAIT until Mozzi gets here! You know, but not in a weird kind of stalker internet kind of way. 🙂

  36. I feel you girl, my hubby and I have been trying for our first together for 18 mos I think…I’ve stopped tracking since some of the multitude of advice we’ve received includes “just stop thinking about it”, so I have. All the best to you and your family!

  37. congratulations, Moosh! I’ve been a lurker off and on, and recently had coffee with Liz Hawks who raved about you….so had to come over and leave a comment.

    I struggled for years to get pregnant, and finally after Clomid, IUI, injectables, and 2 rounds of IVF, I conceived twin girls…who are now 5.

    And a few weeks ago…after thinking we were “done” (b/c who wants to go through all that again? even if i felt i wasn’t truly done) i have turned up pregnant. without intervention.

    i am scared to death. but this post? gives me hope. hope that it’ll stick, that it’ll work, and that i can be a good mom to another child.

    you are beautiful. i am so happy for you!
