It’s all the fuss about Halloween. Frankly speaking, I’m not a great fan of
big holidays. Really. Some of my friends think I’m kind of weird in this thing.
Everyone gets crazy about any single reason to celebrate and gather together with
friends. I also like family and friends reunions, though. For me, they are not
necessarily associated with any particular holidays. Do I need a reason to
visit a friend of mine? No. Does she need a reason to call on me? No. Despite
of having very positive intention, holidays still get this all stressed out. In
any case, Halloween is approaching and we were invited to our best friends place
to celebrate. She has three children: 10, 8 and 3 years old. Actually, her
younger son is the best friend to my Den. My friend whose name is Astrid likes
to cook and she cooks a lot. My role in this “universe chaos” celebration is in
decorating the house and entertaining kids. Some of the games are known to us
from the previous celebrations, some will be new. In any case, I think all that
matters for a kid on this fussy day is his most scary costume in the world. Last
year Den was in this skeleton costume which this year is too short and too
tight for him. So we ordered a new one. This time it’s Batman. Ha! He looks
rather cute in it, I must admit. We chose it together. Yeah, my kid is growing
older and I no longer can take decisions on my own (a bitter sweet feeling).
Another stressful thing about this terrific holiday is “treat”. Yes, the essence
of all this carnival. I know everyone will give them candies and I’m a crazy
mom up to this point. You see, my son in his 3 years old already has cavities in
4(!) teeth and had one of the cavities stuffed just a month ago. I think his
teeth are very bad genetically (from his father) and he is very apt to
cavities. I’m crazy about oral hygiene that’s why candies are a forbidden fruit
for my little one. On holidays, the situation always gets out of control
(another reason why I’m very biased regarding holidays).
Ok, there are times when you just have to yield and let it go. Children
love this holiday immensely so let them just enjoy. As for me, I know that I
will have quite different thoughts running through my head when everyone will
be freaking it out. My ultrasound is scheduled on Monday and it will determine
the day of stimulation trigger. And one more thing to tell you: I’m not afraid
anymore! I’m so resolute to start like I was never before. I still have no idea
of how I will be feeling but I’ve also heard from more experienced ladies in
all this assisted reproduction that the medicines on my protocol are safe and
usually show great results. I also know that much depends on my attitude to the
whole thing happening. That’s why I decided to take emotions under control and
send my positive vibes to the universe to attract success to my surrogacy treatment.
Happy Halloween everyone!
