Ugh.
This afternoon I am to attend a bridal shower for the future daughter-in-law of a friend of my mother. It will be a livingroom full of women in their 50s giggling with the poor bride about condoms and the like (nothing more embarassing, in my opinion!) Aside from me and the bride-to-be, there will two other young women there... with their children aged 3 months and 16 months. How very fortunate for me.
(A digression: the infant is the daughter of a guy I dated when I was 19. This guy dumped me when I wouldn't sleep with him. He is the nephew of the woman giving the shower, and there will be no avoiding seeing him. I add him to the list of people who I hate for having children before me.)
Bridal Showers are the precursors to weddings, which I have not been so happy with these days. The Anonymous Infertile wrote about why wedding make her sad, I couldn't agree with her more. (She wrote about it much more eloquently that I am about to...) Although my wedding was my personal fairytale day, I can't help thinking that my story isn't following the path to the happy ending. And I feel envious of the hope that the married couple-to-be has that everything their future is full of roses and rainbows. Selfish, I know.

Wednesday is our urologist appointment, and Thursday is the RE. I am compiling a list of questions to ask each specialist (which I will try to get down here over the weekend...) I am looking to you guys for support here. What questions do you think I should be asking (this especially for the urologist, as I have no experience with this one!)? I would so appreciate your input, and thanks in advance...

I only have a minute, but I just wanted to say that I hope that guy that will be at the shower (the ex) - I hope his kid is a little monster, and acts like a horrible brat! That would be nice.
Ugh. That sounds like torture. I avoid events like that like the plague. I usually feel an upset stomach or the flu coming on about 3-4 hours before I am supposed to be there. If not I try to at least have a few drinks beforehand.
Hang in there. I hope that today is better than you anticipate. Big hug for good luck.
yech.
i feel for you. i agree with jennie...that'd be sweet! even if only for a moment....
as for the urologist...i'm sorry to say i have NO IDEA other than to say -- DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good luck, girl...you're getting there...all will soon be made clear!

I'm going to my cousin's wedding tomorrow at 4 pm. Yeah. I understand what you mean about weddings. Trust me, I get it.
I always love the pregnancy annoucement just a few months after the wedding. Ugh indeed.
