Mummy in 2012?

Ok, I swear I meant to put an exclamation point after that title. Darn key is always so sticky!

Because it's not like I'm the least bit uncertain about this actually, finally, after all this time, maybe, possibly, hopefully working out? Hmpfff. There it goes again. I really need to get this keyboard fixed.


What's really funny is back in September somebody promised me that I would be a "mummy in 2012." I know, crazy, right?

Everyone knows that the last thing you ever promise a crazy, hormonal, serial fertility treatment failure is... a baby!

But I kid you not, that's what she said:

"I promise you will be a mummy in 2012."

And of course I laughed it off and figured sooner or later she would figure out just exactly who she had taken on as a patient and quickly retract her statement just as all the other doctors had done...

but darn if two weeks later I didn't get an email with THE most wonderful news ever!

And sure enough, underneath THE most wonderful news ever were the following words:

"Mummy in 2012."

Hindi to English translation? "I told you so."

I love this lady. I love the worldwide friendships I have formed as a result of this lady. And I LOVE that today is the first day of 2012. Because  although I may still be having a hard time believing it, according to someone (who apparently keeps her promises)


I am going to be a mummy in 2012! 


Happy 2012 to All! Love, Bernadette & Duane
