First, let me say that we had a great weekend. We helped my mom with some things at her house on Saturday (because my dad is out of the country on business for the 3rd week in a row), took J to TrainFest for 5 hours on Sunday, and just enjoyed ourselves in general.
So on to the weird. I hadn't really thought about infertility or babies or anything close to that all weekend; well, at least not obsessively. I found out a close family friend is expecting and it was tough but whatever, life happens, people (especially young newlywed people) are going to get pregnant right? I did notice an abundance of strollers and new babies at TrainFest, but that's a good family activity so, whatever. No biggie. Well...I was folding some laundry last night and as I put my jeans away in the closet, out of nowhere, I had the thought, a statement actually, flash into my mind. "This is not going to happen for us." It was calm, and I stayed calm. It didn't send me into a tailspin, just made me quiet. I have been praying for guidance and knowledge. Is this it? Is this the answer? "Its not going to happen for us."
When he realized I was so quiet, Husband asked whats up and I told him about it. He was sooooo confused. He looked at me like I was on drugs and said, "Based on what? Where is this coming from?" I couldn't tell him as I had no idea. It wasn't like my dark place where I go when I'm feeling negative, which is what I think he thought was happening. It just was a statement that came to me out of nowhere.
Today, I just feel... weird. I can't explain it, I am not even sure how to process it. Maybe I should find one of those babies in my life, borrow a snuggle and see if they have any suggestions. Sigh.......
God sends us messages in mysterious ways. Maybe he is telling you that a baby was just born that needs you to adopt it. I have weird thoughts too. Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right on the messages Niki, wish he would talk to my husband about adoption though...thoughts for another day. Despite a bit of hope (and no real trying)AF showed up today. Not sad, just not happy to see her.
