“Want some good news?!? Just got off the phone with the doctor and we are officially making a baby in July!”
That was a text message I sent to my dad earlier today.
Yep. To my dad.
As soon as I sent it I realized how weird/gross/awkward that “we” was.
For the record: I am not making a baby with my dad.
But I am making a baby in July!
As in three months from now July.
As in this time next year I could have a baby.
This time next year I could be a mommy.
There is a lot to do between now and then, but I feel ready. I feel prepared. I feel like I can totally make this happen. I am more excited about my impending IVF date than I have ever been excited about anything.
Three months from now I am going to get my shot at making my biggest dream come true.
