This ain't the Girl Scouts

The more people talk the more you realize you are not alone. I think this goes for anything; it's kinda like when you buy a new car and then every car on the road is the same as yours! As humans we need to make connections and we need to feel a part of a group. As we are all aware, I am part of the "Not Getting Pregnant" club and more members seem to join each day. Just the other night as I was partaking in another club, a book club (code for drink a lot of martinis club), I found out that yet another woman is a member of NGP. We talked about the pluses (lots of sex) the minuses (hysteroyoudontwanttogetitgram) and everything in between. As we were laughing, cursing and drinking our way through the conversation I came to realize...even if this club sucks, the women in it surely do not. All the women I know and have come to know in NGP are amazing. Each one possesses qualities that make her remarkable...Shannon her kindness and compassion, Rebecca her zest for life and meaty laugh, Nancy her strength and wisdom, Tara, her easy ways and grace...and the list goes on. These women already have the characteristics needed to make them good mothers; they have gifts from God so that when they do have babies, they will create a life for their children that is filled with love, guidance and greatness. Maybe these attributes are also the reason that they have to tough it out on the road to bearing children. The same qualities that make someone a great mother are also the characteristics that make someone viable and strong in the face of adversity. So while we hope we all graduate from NGP we know while we are there we are in the best possible company.
