We're on their minds

Thoughts of my lack of motherhood are usually in the back of my mind, often coming forward.  But I wish everyone else wasn't thinking about it too....  Examples from this year alone:

  1. On my birthday, Mrs Steveny (from church) drew 5 hearts around HAPPY BIRTHDAY, one for each kid she's praying I'll have.
  2. Mrs Stutts (from church) read an artical on the evils of gluten and what it can do to your fertility. She had to email it to me cause she "knows" we're health conscious and are trying to conceive.
  3. Jared's co-worker asked when we're gonna have kids. Said he's starting to wonder about him, that maybe he needs a video to see how its done.
  4. Brother John (at church of course) read an artical that said the best time to do stuff is between 5 and 7 in the morning. That that is when we are at our peak. He just had to share that news with us. And told Jared to get up, and for me to get busy.
  5. Josh (one of my hubby's friends) asked if we've been tested.
  6. Three weeks ago a girl at church, Clarissa, touched my belly and asked if I'm going to have a baby.  Course at that point she had no idea how badly I want to be a mother, probably just thought I looked fat.  Sure made me feel wonderful about my body, and I thought I looked good that day!  I kinda gave her an "I wish!" and informed her that I really want a baby, but that God just hasn't given me one yet.  (she's 12 and really should have better manners).
  7. Saturday night Mrs Steveny (from church) let me know once again that she's praying for me.  Told me about how she thinks I'll be a great mother, and that Jared will be a wonderful father...  Went on to inform me that she's praying I'll get up on Mother's Day and make an announcement.  I told her it's the last month for that to happen before then and if it doesn't....  That we plan to go camping.  She doesn't approve of my running away from the holiday, but I'm not going to let that change my mind.
  8. Yesterday Clarissa poked me in the belly and asked, baby?  I glared at her and told her no.  If she even thinks about doing that to me again....  We're going to have a lonnnng talk about how rude it is to ask people if they are pregnant.  Oh and that she should keep her hands to herself.
I bet there is even more times that I'm not remembering right now.  I'm saving up for us to go to the doctor to have a fertility work up done.  We don't have insurance and the doctors visit alone is going to cost $130.  The clinic lady told me that they don't have payment plans for the initial doctors appointment, but if they run any tests or anything I can make payments on those.  At the moment I want to get tests out of the way so that when people ask us about things, even if we test completely normal, at least we can say we've already been tested.  Ironically the best and earliest date for me to go in for an appointment is 2 days after Mother's Day....  Oh to find out I'm pregnant before that day comes, lol.
