It's not very often I get in a creative writing mood, but the idea struck me silly. So thought I'd give it a whirl. Enjoy!!
Was't the week before
the IUI, when my body's feeling hostile
Not a Letrozole was
left, in the little yellow bottle.
The ovaries were full
and ready to share,
In hopes that in a few
weeks, a fetus would be there.
In bed the night before,
I'm stressful and restless!
Thinking about cute
names and pinning how to clean messes.
Dave notices, so he
starts playing with my hair
All after we have knelt
and said our heartfelt prayer.
In the morning we wake
and get the cup ready to go
We have 60 minutes to
get to the doctor’s office. QUICK! To the lab we'll show!
Now starts the waiting
game while the prepping begins
We're in the waiting
room. Dave's playing games, and I'm humming hymns.
The nurse takes us back,
I'm gowned, then comes the ultrasound.
With the catheter ready,
we are hopefully baby bound!
Now it’s time to be
patient to see if it’s our time to be parents
Whatever happens, I am
ready to be of acceptance.
