We went and signed the dumb form today. Yesterday when I called the doctor's office to schedule a time, they told me that they didn't encourage people to bring kids. Too bad for them, then, because we really didn't have a choice. We took them in their strollers, they instantly took us to a room to wait, and we were in and out quickly. Total time from parking our car at the garage and including the time it took us to buy a bagel and eat it? 45 minutes. Right on.
Acquaintances of ours whose daughter is a few months younger than the girls just announced that the other mom is pregnant. Why does that give me a pang? We are trying to get pregnant right now (hopefully, successfully), so why the twinge?!
I think the twingeis natural so don't beat yourself up. You're next!
ReplyDeleteHa! Don't bring kids? Right. I remember being teary in the RE waiting room on days I found out I'd lost embryos or was feeling hopeless. I may have cursed some one for torturing us infertiles with the presence of - gasp - live kid in the waiting room, but I was always fully clear that my sadness was my own, and if folks were in the RE a office they had their own share of misery.
ReplyDeleteI brought my two 3 and 4 year old kids to every appointment when trying to have out 3rd. They were, for the most part, well behaved.
Sorry - wow. This feeling of pain/guilt doesn't really go away, does it?
