I am killing myself watching TLC baby shows.  Babies are everywhere.  They are on every episode of every TV show we've watched this week.  I read about them, I dream about them.  Cuddy's baby on House was mine mine mine, even though for some reason I was in an airport in not-Seattle and baby was in a PINK sling of all colours and I was a little

You are still young, May. Time enough for everything to come along you know. I understand the longing, god do I. I have learned in time to put it aside, though I think its my personality that has allowed me to do that.

*hugs* It will all work out you know. Btw, if you would EVER answer your phone I could talk to you. Just an FYI....

[marbyco]

...have I asked for you phone number lately? You'll have to facebook it to me so I can program it into the phone. Then I know who the number belongs to if it comes up on the call display.

You know, I've been working very hard for over a decade. It just hits me really hard sometimes.

[kerima]

I know, me too. But I've stopped to wonder why at times. Because we want a little piece of immortality that is a part of us to give to the world? Or simply because we want a creature that will love us more than life itself.

Really the way I convinced myself was to realize that they grow up. They don't stay that tiny forever, or cute and small as they are at toddlers, or even as young children. They grow to be teenagers like we were, doing far worse things than we did in this day and age.

There's no simple chat room to hold their interest now. There's so many things out there, its nearly impossible to guide them. Why would I wish any of that on my own little brand of "me". I wouldn't.

But that's just me. And we know I'm cynical. I learned from the best.

I'm so ticked off about the recent adoption storylines on House. That is NOT the way adoption works, people!

[marbyco]

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. We were watching this week, and it was like, oh for the love of god. If she decides after all this shit that she's giving it up, I'm gonna scream.

[bluealoe]

Yeah, exactly. It almost always takes time to bond with an adopted child, and if she had been through the required steps before adoption, SHE WOULD KNOW THAT.

Where's the caseworker? Yeah, she had one home visit, but there's not nearly enough. No social worker would give someone an infant, visit them once, then forget about them.

Most importantly, how did Cuddy get the baby to begin with? If I remember the episode correctly, the baby had perfectly healthy grandparents who could have taken care of her.

[bluealoe]

Err, that was me...

I wish I could talk to you about something, but I don't know if I can. We have to have coffee by ourselves soon.

[marbyco]

You can talk to me about anything. Obviously, within your boundaries. Yes, we shall have coffee soon.

So, I was going to say "oooh, you have that ticking clock already?" and then I remembered the part about you being ticking since highschool. :/
It sucks that genetically we are still meant to have babies early in life. Like, whats with over-30 having increased risks? Its not fair, I think.

I feel your pain. I see my brother and his wife popping out baby after baby without a thought as to how they're going to support them and I just keep thinking how very unfair it is that people who have no business procreating can have a child "by accident" and women like me and you who would be excellent mothers have to overthink and overplan to make it happen.

*sigh* Such is life I suppose. But it makes me want to punch someone.
