Yesterday I was driving down a road I drive nearly everyday. It's right on the lake and when its nice outside it is filled with dog walkers, joggers and inevitably moms pushing strollers and kids on bikes. For a really long time I hated those nice weather days. All those cute kids with their happy moms. But something strange happened yesterday. For the first time I looked at those kids and moms and realized that WILL be us.
A flood of images of our future ran through my mind as I was driving and the one that stuck out was of our little ones -well, bigger then- drawing all over our driveway with sidewalk chalk. That image alone left me smiling the whole drive home. Our little cuties playing together, drawing animals in chalk, trying to write their names, fighting over the colors and getting the dogs covered in chalk. Wow, how amazing that will be. I am sure to a lot of people with kids it would seem insignificant, just another summer day. They might get mad at the mess, annoyed that they will have to wash their clothes and the dog. But me? Us infertiles? Just amazing.
Those of you who have made it to the other side of IF, have you had such an epiphany?

That made me smile :) It must be a wonderful feeling! And you made me really miss Madison.
I can't say I've had any one moment that sticks out, but I've definitely had lots of small moments like that. How cool that you had that moment while driving. What a great feeling it must have left you with.
