The Friday before Father’s Day

The Friday before Father’s Day in 2012 I left my doctor’s appointment that morning after learning I had a giant cyst on my ovary and we would have to wait another month before our next round of IVF. I stopped at Target hoping to get a Father’s Day card and left in tears because they don’t make cards that say “You are an amazing husband and the exact type of father I want our children to have.” They don’t make Father’s Day cards for infertile people. I made Brett breakfast in bed Sunday morning.

The Friday before Father’s Day in 2013 I left my doctor’s appointment that morning after learning that my body was definitely getting ready to have a baby. I stopped at Target and figured I probably needed to get two Father’s Day cards because Iddo was probably going to get here before Sunday (although I was really hoping she’d wait till Saturday evening, we had plans Friday night). I shared the breakfast the hospital brought to my bed with Brett Sunday morning.

The Friday before Father’s Day in 2014 I don’t have any doctor appointments. But Iddo and I will probably stop at Target to pick out a card anyway. I wonder who’s going to do breakfast in bed this Sunday.

    Could it be Iddo?

    So sweet. So so sweet. It’s fun to look back over the experience and see where you’ve been.
