No this does not mean I am not thrilled that you are pregnant. I am super happy for you office coworker that I never talk to, but see on occasion in the hall. I am sure someday it will be me surprising everyone with pink or blue somethings, but today it's not me, and today I just can't. I can't put on the smiley face and I can't hear one more time that I should be careful drinking the water around here.
I am a tad fearful I might reply to one of the people that will inevitibly bring up the water with:
"I drink shit tons of water from here. I have a fitness app that has me log my cups and my consumption is waaay up folks. I also take pee breaks every 30 minutes or so partly because I have inherited my mother's extremely small bladder, but also because of all of the damn water I am drinking. The water doesn't even taste that great. I've actually seen funny flakes in it before. It's unfiltered tipity tap water and I am 100% positive it does not contain any sort of miraculous magical fertility inducing properties. Or, maybe the crappy water does, and I have just exposed myself to it so many times that I have developed an immunity. Either way... the water apparently makes everyone but me pregnant."
I will spare the poor person that WILL say something about the flippin pregnancy water my rant by excusing myself today. (Also, just so everyone knows I have not completely lost my marbles, I understand that people say things like this. It's normal, it's not intentionally cruel, it's supposed to be light hearted and funny. 2 years ago I wouldn't have noticed or cared. I am not, nor will I ever hate on pregnancy water people :) )
Like I said today it's not me, but someday it will be. Not from me drinking so much of the water at work that I can hear it rolling around in my stomach, but from having perseverance and faith in the plan God has for our lives.
So... part of this is my A.D.D but hang with me for a sec. I swear this will make sense. The other day I looked at our tulips. It's the first year we have had them, their very first time to try to bloom and they don't look so hot. They are almost but not quite ready. I guess that's where Austin and I are in regards to being parents. This is our first attempt, granted it's been going on a 2 year long attempt, but we are first timers nonetheless. We are a little worn and battered, but I feel it, we are almost there. I know our "almost" may last longer than that of our tulips, but we just feel ready. With time, patience and a little hard work come beautiful things.
Guess what... the tulips are now in bloom and they never got any water! Ha!
