La Respuesta

I mentioned to N that I was going to take a pregnancy test when I got home, three days before he's slated to be back in Paris, and so we decided to buy one here in Barcelona. Negative. So no babies yet. And that's okay. It's odd, though, to think that what is currently a fairly free-and-easy topic of conversation might eventually become utterly fraught if we have a hard time conceiving. And that's a subject that sort of blows my mind--that, as well as a woman may know her body and its workings (and I'm not saying that I'm at the top of this list), how easy or difficult it might be to get pregnant is something you just can't know until you try it. Frustrating for someone who likes to plan things out.
