I woke up this morning in a good mood. I was excited that the furniture for our future child's room was going to be delivered. I thought that finishing the room would bring us luck and make us feel more like we will be parents one day soon. I never expected that there would be a problem.
I got up early because the sales clerk at the store had told me that they start delivering at 8 a.m. She said that the delivery person would call either the night before or first thing in the morning to give me a 2-hour delivery timeframe. But I never heard from anyone last night or first thing this morning.
I decided around 9 a.m. to check into it and find out when they were coming. After 4 phone calls to various numbers trying to get info about our order, I finally got some answers. The store clerk -- who was very nice and apologetic -- did some checking and discovered that our furniture was delivered to the store, but never loaded on the truck for delivery to us!! No one knows why it happened. So now the customer service manager is going to talk to the person in receiving to try to get this mess cleared up. The clerk told me they may need to re-ring the entire purchase and schedule a new delivery date. They are not sure what will need to happen next, but will call me back later today.
So here I sit waiting. (This feels all too familar!) Just like everything else in my life that pertains to having children, things are complicated. Can't anything in our journey to become parents go smoothly? I don't mean to complain, but this just all seems so unfair. The more that goes wrong in our quest to start a family, the more I wonder: Are these problems all just signs that it isn't meant to be? Am I fighting against fate and losing the battle? I sure hope not!
I've been patient. I've been strong. I've lost 2 children. I've suffered. I've worked like crazy to find us a child. Isn't that enough? Can't someone please just give me a break?

Yes I know you ARE meant to be parents. It is in no way a sign. Most people have furniture delivery problems and It's just coincidental that it was for the nursery. Your big break is coming soon!
I know you don't want to hear this but all my friends who adopted went through things like this - they had people tell them it was because they had to wait for "their child". They would get so mad at those people and curse their superior goody-two-shoes pert little answers------that is until they had their baby in their arms and they knew that the wait was for this little precious baby that was making their way into the world for you to be their mommy and daddy.
I get down about all this waiting but your baby is out their - even if he/she is not even concieved yet......or going to be born next month.
