So we talked. And talked. And P came to the conclusion that he’d had enough talk. With the move coming up we aren’t really in a position to act on any plan we settle on, so he’d just as soon not discuss it at all. I think he’s tired of feeling helpless. So we’ve been largely baby-discussion-free the whole month of February. No fertility stuff, no adoption questions, nothing. Damn, that was hard. But I think I understand where he’s coming from, and I’m glad I could grant him that break.
Then my verybestfriend had her third child. Second since P and I have been trying.
I just couldn’t write about it all then.
Some way or another, we better be in a different place soon.

Think long and hard about adopting; especially if you are adopting internationally!
That is a really asinine comment.While I'm sure it was meant with good intentions, it just lacks substance. Adopting is not a flipant decision to make.
Twirl, adopting is difficult. So is trying to conceive and enduring infertility treatments. Whatever way you and P become parents there will be hurdles. Parenting is also worth it.
who the heck is that guy?
I'm sorry for the disappointment. That word seems too mild to describe what you must have felt. I'm glad that you guys are open to alternate possibile paths to parenthood, though, even if you are on a break from talking about them. However you get there, it will be worth it. Does that sound trite?
