I believe when I left off we were welcoming a new kitten into our home. My sister in law Jenn had an orphan kitten that I fell in love with. Although I am a big animal person I never thought I would own a cat! Oliver as we called him was still on a bottle when we brought him home. Little did we know that Oliver was actually a girl, so we did a little switcheroo and her name is now Olive.
I was talking to Jenn the day I picked Olive up and she summed it up perfectly…
“If I was going through what you are I would need a pet and you better believe I would pick the smallest one with the most amount of care needed”
My evenings have been spent playing, feeding and disciplining the kitten. This is one decision I am so happy we made, there really is nothing else to say other than I LOVE the little feller!
On the IVF front we got some great news…we actually have a date! It feels surreal to be saying this after everything we have been through! November 11th we start injections! I have never been so happy to get a needle in my life! Yippee!
Emotionally I still have been doing well; I have only had a few “setbacks” as of late. I was at the mall with the dude and I felt like they (pregnant women and new babies) were closing in on me, I swear they were everywhere! I let my emotions get the best of me, lost my temper and pretty much wrecked my whole day.
There was also one day last week where I was super pissed. A lady was in our store complaining about the costs of prenatal vitamins. She wouldn’t stop talking about the cost of everything and how it was making her poor! It took everything in me to smile and nod. I wanted to tell her to be thankful and that at LEAST she conceived her baby for free…FREE!!!!!
Well that what’s going on with me! What is going with you?!
Love to you…

Haha-LOVE your little cartoon rabbit at the end, made me smile:) YAY!!! for a date, so happy for you. Olive is quite the cutie!
In my 4 years of dealing with infertility DH & I "adopted" 3 cats and a dog. Animals have secret healing powers to help with a broken heart. I hope Olive brings you some peace.

Glad to hear you're doing alright and you have a date!! Your kitten Olive is adorable.
Just stumbled onto your blog... your cat is sooo adorable! I have tried to get my husband to let me get another one, but he doesn't want to because he has to scoop the litter!
Good luck with your IVF.
