I'm exactly the same. I could be pregnant in 2 weeks, but my mind refuses to allow me to believe it. I agree with Kakunaa, its definitely a self-preservation thing as well.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196968417331947398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711942024473709321.post-57660329882231820072011-04-08T14:34:11.269-07:002011-04-08T14:34:11.269-07:00I just had to stop back by and comment about you b...I just had to stop back by and comment about you buying patterned socks. It's so funny because when I go to the RE, it doesn't matter if I have on makeup or not, or what my hair looks like, but by jiminy my socks are awesome! haha! I guess it's logical though because it's really the only part of me they see....ok, well the only clothed part since the rest of me is covered up with a sheet. Yesterday I wore flip flops but took a pair of socks with me to slip on after undressing, but forgot until after I was dressed and ready to leave. :)LeslieGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659562153250075178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711942024473709321.post-17511205240235710752011-04-08T13:17:55.235-07:002011-04-08T13:17:55.235-07:00I haven't started treatments yet, but I know w...I haven't started treatments yet, but I know what you mean about the whole thing seeming kind of unreal. We have been trying for almost a year and a half, and sometimes I think I have completely forgotten that there could actually be a baby at the end of this process. It just seems so unreal sometimes.

I am deep fears about SIDS and I think I am STILL protecting myself from getting attached to the idea of having a baby. <br /><br />I'm hoping by his first birthday I will embrace my life, though.justadriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352793325470030016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711942024473709321.post-59612489251281769422011-04-08T10:39:11.466-07:002011-04-08T10:39:11.466-07:00Hello!

I was in labor and I couldn't imagine having a baby. IMO, it will work or not independent of whether you believe it.<br /><br />Good luck!Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711942024473709321.post-10870048115148533002011-04-08T09:02:37.625-07:002011-04-08T09:02:37.625-07:00I felt that way my first time through this. This ...I felt that way my first time through this. This time is a little different for me and I'm not sure why. I keep telling myself that I'll be pregnant very soon. Not sure it's a good idea to be THAT positive for myself, but it's what I'm doing. I'm hoping that you will be pregnant very soon, too...maybe then you will feel like this is more real. It's probably a good thing (like Kakunaa says) to protect ourselves by sort of separating things. Isn't it amazing what we can do and how lightly we sometimes take it? We are a strong bunch of women, that's for sure.TeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893545693449975785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711942024473709321.post-74939407461809176912011-04-08T07:28:39.209-07:002011-04-08T07:28:39.209-07:00I didn't realize that I had the same thoughts ...I didn't realize that I had the same thoughts until you voiced yours.
