I'm sharing this blog post from dreamingofdiapers.com
The title of the post was, "I'm almost pregnant" and I initially thought to myself, "I can't put myself through this kind of announcement today." My own IVF treatment has been postponed due to an ovarian cyst, and, while I'm usually very happy for other people who enjoy success in their pregnancy quest, I just couldn't deal with hearing about another woman who had a successful IUI or had an embryo transfer completed. Not today. Not while I'm in limbo like this. But I was SO happy I continued to read on! This is what I found...
"Infertility. What an ugly word.
That small word has so many emotions associated with it. And you dont think about that word until it becomes you. Its sad to say that, but when you are diagnosed(yes, it IS a disease), you become that word.
Ive become that word. But I dont want to be. I am more than that.
Its not a word that describes most of us either. A lot of us WILL become pregnant. Infertility seems like a lost hope.and we are not lost.we are on our wayto becoming pregnant.
From now on, instead of saying that Im infertile Im going to start saying that Im Almost Pregnant
Im Almost Pregnant. I like that. You can say Being Almost Pregnant instead of Being Infertile.
I recently decided, I HAVE to change my mind set. Ive felt so low and down on myselfand its not good. Its not good for my soul, its not good for my body and its certainly not good for my mind.
As long as I refer to myself as Almost Pregnant, it bring a smile to my face. It makes me believe in myself.
Those words GIVE ME HOPE.
So to ALL of you Almost Pregnant women.this is for YOU. Throw Infertility out the window and make way in your heart for being Almost Pregnant.because you ARE that..
Anything is possible if you just believe..."
I hope you ladies find some new perspective in this. It really lifted me up! And thanks to dreamingofdiapers for letting me share her words with an audience who could benefit from adopting this altered self-conception.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
This blogger is a GEM! She has been to hell & back, and is one of those people who you're just really rooting for! I hope her "almost pregnant" label gets peeled off & she gets to wear a new name tag soon!
