Dream a little dream....

Last night I had the most amazing dream.  I had a son.  A little boy, maybe 4-5 months old.  I held him, and all of the things that go along with a baby were present to me.  I held him in my arms, fed him, wrapped him up in his blanket.  It was all so real, his skin, his smile, his smell.  Ohhh, if I could have just stayed in that dream.  I remember seeing Steven take him and hold, and all the while in my dream, I kept saying to myself, "Chrsitina, you can't wake up."  In my dream, I remember telling Steven, "I can't wake up, because when I wake up, this all goes away."  I just remember trying so hard to "take it all in" because I knew I'd be waking up soon.  And I did.  Wake up.  And all of it went away.  My heart ached, and I got up and got my day going. 

It has been more than 3 years since we have started down this road, and I become more and more discouraged everyday.  I almost feel as if I am falling into a depression.  Is that possible?  Can infertility do that?  I always told myself I wouldn't let it beat me, but it is...its beating me, and winning.
