ohmigod!!
one of my most dearest and closest of friends, Lorena (a fellow archaeologist who lives in mexico), just told me some bad news and some good news....
the bad news is she probably won't be able to come up to the US for my wedding like she had been planning to ...
the good news is that it's because she's going to have a baby! my sweet friend is pregnant! i can't believe it. i am so excited for her, because she has been told for many years now that she was infertile (she had only 1/2 remaining ovary left), and she had nearly given up that she would have the ability to have a child of her own, so it's truly miraculous that she got pregnant. needless to say it was a surprise! i am of naturally ecstatic for her, but i'm also of course disappointed that she will likely not end up coming, i had really been looking forward to seeing her and showing her "my other world".
wow, i can't believe it. sheesh. i feel so old, and rather behind in the game, friends younger than me are having babies.
i feel kind of emotional about this news on a whole other level too... lorena and i have always shared the same fears about infertility since we both had similar complications (hers necessitated surgery though which i am very grateful that mine have not needed that). but hearing that she got pregnant... maybe it can happen for me someday. not now of course. not ready now. but in a couple of years, perhaps? she makes me feel like anything is possible.
wow. i'm so amazed for her. and nervous. but mostly amazed.
