Just rambling on

08 October 2013

I never wanted my blog to exclusively follow my infertility.  When I started writing it was admittedly about wanting to have a baby and document pregnancy, but as I didn’t get pregnant it became more.  It became a place to talk about my life, home, cooking, dogs...and somehow this past summer when IVF failed I feel like it turned really gray, which truly represented my mood.

I recognize that the past couple weeks have been a lot about my getting pregnant, but I don’t want anyone to think for a second that I’ve forgotten about the journey I’ve been on for the past 22 months. It was hard. It broke my heart, it killed a piece of me.

But I’m alive and happy, and I know I would be even if I wasn’t pregnant. I was dealing with the failed IVF cycle, and what that meant for my family.

So all my friends still struggling with IF, I think about you daily. I think about the struggle daily.  I thank whatever is out there that I experienced what I went through because it made me am who I am today.  I hated every second of it, but it is one of life’s hard curveballs that I had to deal with I guess. I’M STILL ANGRY. I still find myself getting upset when I hear other people are pregnant or got pregnant quickly. Why did I have this struggle?  And so don’t think I’m not thinking about you.

I clearly still have things I need to discuss with my counselor.

Now that I’m pregnant this blog isn’t only going to be about my pregnancy.  Just like infertility did, it will obviously include that aspect of my life, but I do plan on picking back up on writing about cooking, decorating, dogs…


Run or Dye

16 August 2013

Tomorrow morning I’m running a fun 5K with my friends!  My friend Janet is there checking us in right now.

 

Whose done it? wish me luck I haven’t been running regularly since right before my egg retrieval in July, eek!

A down day

06 May 2013

Not every day is awesome.  its cloudy here and I’m working my butt off and I’m suddenly surrounded by people having babies, and we’ll I want one.  I was out of town this weekend so I don’t have a menu planned out for this week or groceries in the house.  Tonight we’re having taco’s because Ben said we NEED to finish the sour cream off tonight, and tomorrow I think I’ll make egg sandwiches, because why not?!

Tomorrow I’ll be back with all the details. Until then, this is the reason I’m a little sluggish today…long island iced tea’s for breakfast = trouble! But it was Cinco de Mayo, I couldn’t resist the early morning drinking.
