The Waiting Game

You'd think by now, I would have gone pro.

I'm so good at it I can do it blindfolded, both hands tied behind my back.

Waiting.

Waiting to have sex.

Waiting to get married.

Waiting to start a family.

Waiting to see the RE.

Waiting for test results.

Waiting for a diagnosis.

Waiting to begin treatments.

Waiting for surgery.

Waiting for meds to arrive.

Waiting for procedures.

Waiting for tests.

Waiting for results.



After seven years, we are still waiting. Waiting for more tests, waiting for finances and cycles and life to be in synch again. Waiting for the ultimate result: our own precious child.


I am waiting to be a mother.


I hate waiting.
