My other (more short-term than the Finland) plan is to find a new job (my current one truly sucks and is so not fertility friendly) and to learn how to drive (at the tender age of 35 I still haven't mastered that skill).<br /><br />Ostrich: So glad you've gotten to visit our neck of the woods - it's a bit of an obscure destination, but well worth visiting, especially if small, quiet, quaint cities are your thing. : )Haislahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447101581192623859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761683084567008890.post-16720972844963910832014-08-12T15:00:00.188+01:002014-08-12T15:00:00.188+01:00Yes!

Not any time soon, but in a few years (there are a lot of other things that need to settle, totally un-IF related.)<br /><br />And it is amazing how just being able to think about and plan a future shifts your mindset. It's like IF makes you forget what possibility looks like. <br /><br />(Aside: Maybe I'm thick, but I had no idea that you were from Finland. Mr. O and I went to Estonia and Helskini several years ago. Totally loved that part of the world- I can see why you'd want to move back.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761683084567008890.post-26588041048133323522014-08-09T12:43:13.023+01:002014-08-09T12:43:13.023+01:00I love this post so much and for so many reasons.
...I love this post so much and for so many reasons.<br /><br />First: I will want to borrow this some day "what are they supposed to do, put their lives on hold so that I can catch up"<br />Because, I've had to tell myself that so many times. I like the way you wrote it.<br /><br />Second: You are so right that having other things to focus on helps to take the stress of TTC away. <br />I am definitely someone who needs some type of "side project" to focus on or I will obsess and stress about every TTC moment. <br /><br />Third: "What's our chances naturally, anyway, eh?" Because, that's the same boat I'm in. I know full well that natural conception would be nothing less than a real and true miracle. And I hate that!!<br />It's nice to know I have an ally out there in the "will never happen naturally" world.<br /><br />Welcome back and I'm glad you had a great trip!RHMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288679777324292266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761683084567008890.post-64074090257528873502014-08-09T10:56:11.828+01:002014-08-09T10:56:11.828+01:00Loved your detailed post.

Also really glad you had an awesome time in Finland (would love to visit someday, but we are so far from *everywhere* here!) and great that you handled yourself well around all the baby talk. Wish we didn't have to, but I always pat myself in the back for not pulling out my hair every time, and instead soaking it in for the future :) TwoPlusOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429596455847160803noreply@blogger.com
