Imagine

They heard the heartbeat.

Newest McGee will appear around mid-March.

Life is good.

For the first time, in a very long time I have peace in my heart regarding a pregnancy and feel the natural joy one should without the craziness of infertility skewing my emotions. While I will always have the battle scars of infertility, I no longer feel beat up by the raw emotions of it.

I feel like I can forge ahead and focus on the things I do have control over....finally.

19th Nervous Breakdown- Birthday Edition

So here's a quick update on what is going on the world of Kara.....

I am ANOTHER year older (dammit)

I had one SERIOUSLY great birthday event of celebrating in the following fashion...

Friday morning - Birthday breakfast with girlfriends.

Saturday night - early dinner with mom, another couple and new beau

Later Saturday night - strolled Laguna with new beau where he bought myopic woman by Dr. Seuss.

Sunday-continued strolling Laguna with new beau, ate an amazing breakfast, visited the Sawdust festival, discussed art, had tres romantic walk on beach before we went here for dinner.

Monday- woke to said new beau whispering softly, the words, "Happy Birthday", had breakfast at amazing bakery, went to Glen Ivy where I got the most *interesting* massage of my entire life (will discuss later) and had dinner with my dad, his fiancee and new beau.

BEST BIRTHDAY IN A REALLY, REALLY LONG TIME!!!!

Edit*** - more about the breakdown later, it was a rough week prior to celebrating.

My Favorite Mistake

Remember your first love?

The first person to tell you they loved you? .

The heartbreak of when it all fell to pieces.

Remember crying and thinking you'll never quite love someone to that depth and magnitude ever again?

Mine happen to all be the same person and thanks to Face book, I got to see his wedding photos last week. He looks happy, she has a beautiful smile. I noticed the sadness reflected in his eyes of his deceased parents being there only in spirit.

Jaded? perhaps. Bitter? Oh God, I hope never. Protective of this heart O'mine- ALWAYS.
