The Sims

I feel like a character in the game, The Sims. In fact, I can even envision one of those sparkly purple diamonds suspended atop my head. For those you haven't ever played, in the beginning, when you're developing your character, you choose their aspirations. Money, power, knowledge... family. I'm certain of my aspirations: family. And when you're playing the game, your every move with your character is to meet certain milestones that ultimately satisfy your character's aspirations. For instance, if your character aspires to be wealthy, you make sure he gets a job as an innovator. If your character's aspirations are family, you make sure they find love and have a family.

When I played the game, I always made sure my character met his/her aspirations. Because if they didn't, they would die.. right? Or I would 'lose' the game. "I like losing", said nobody. Ever.

I've been comparing The Sims game to my current situation a lot lately. I have quite a bit of anxiety about the moment when I tell my husband that I want to be pregnant my body is ready to be pregnant.  What if he says no, will I die? For now, I attempt to calm those nerves by telling myself that pregnancy isn't an option right now. All that about healing and stuff from my previous post.
