Perfect Moment Monday: Backdrop
November 2, 2009
Remember way back to February when I was about to embark on Perfunctory IUI #7 in preparation for IVF #3 and, to honor the occasion, I purchased a piece of abstract artwork depicting Don Quixote? Or the next month when I was in Quixote’s homeland and couldn’t resist a Quixote sculpture, having just become pregnant via a treatment that wasn’t supposed to work? The drawing and sculpture are on display together in my house, and I look at them many times a day.
The Perfect Moment occurred when I was taking some photos of the Burrito in his father’s arms, and I realized that, just by happenstance, the two Quixotes formed the backdrop. (Child pictured; click through to see the photo.)
I’ve been having a bit of a rough time lately (more on that soon), so the reminder is particularly poignant: He and his sister are my Impossible Dreams come true.

What a sharp coincidence. And life is so full of surprises.
Hoping that whatever is hassling you, dissipates soon. Whatever it is, do update us, if you want to.

Your little sweetie recognized the significance of his backdrop. He is glancing back thinking, “Windmills! Hah!”

Would it surprise you that we, too, have that sketch and a DQ statuette?
I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. XOXO

I wish all your hard times were firmly in the past. As they’re not, I hope that you find comfort and that whatever is roughing up your waters will smooth out quickly.

I hear you on the hard time lately. And with twins… damn, let me just say. You deserve a damn medal. I have thought of you and other gals online w/ twins and felt profound admiration.
Hope things get easier soon.
