Today I had Jury Duty, which was actually not to bad. I went, played on the Internet for a few hours and they let us go before lunch! Best news is that I'm now exempt for 2 yrs!! I met my husband for a yummy lunch at one of our local favorites, and then decided to treat myself to a movie.
My husband and I love going to the movies, so it had to be something he wouldn't want to see. Given the timing I settled on Julie and Julia. I guess I was feeling overly emotional because I cried at this preview before the movie even started:
Well, then of course the movie starts and bam... Infertility! I guess I missed the memo on this. I didn't realize that Julia Child struggled with infertility. The scene where she is crying after receiving news of her sister's pregnancy really hit home with me. I cried. there by myself in the theater. But overall, I thought the movie was great. And I think there is a lesson to be learned from a woman who struggle with infertility and decided to still make the most of her life. Her courage and passion are inspiring.
Have you ever thought about how lucky we are? What if we were born in her time? In the days before Clomid/IUIs/IVFs. I mean really. What would we all do if there was no treatment, no options. I can't imagine what that must have been like. Although no one wants to struggle with infertility, and this is certainly a hard road to walk, I think in a small way we should be grateful that we have options.

Seriously! We are so very, very lucky.
aww damn i should've warned you. i read the book.
i couldn't agree with you more, yes we are very lucky. thank God for medical science. and yes -- i'll even venture to say thank God for clomid.
Wow - I had no idea! Thanks for the head's up. I will probably watch that one in the cocoon of my own home.
That is a good attitude...I agree. I feel lucky that I have options and that we can afford to do them.
