A little of this...a little of that

Have you ever felt too impatient for all of this nonsense! I am ready to be pregnant...like, yesterday. I ask myself, what would it be like to get pregnant...without all of the injections, invasive u/s, blood draws and worries? Can you imagine? What gets me through it all is who I have met along the way on this journey. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, a light were hope penetrates through my broken heart. That light would be friendship, support and kindness from my friends and family. I am so immensely thankful for the people in my life I have met on this journey. A wonderful blogger friend of mine, Courtney so kindly and graciously gave me 3 vials of follistim! THREE VIALS...and even met me half way between Michigan and Ohio yesterday to give them to me. I had a wonderful time eating lunch and talking about our babies. It's so nice to get to freely and openly talk about our children, and not feel concerned about what the person on the other end of the conversation may bring to the table. Thank you Courtney....I had a wonderful time!

Random thought of the day.... I have been working on my Master's in Nursing for Adult Nurse Practitioner. Last year I actually didn't take any classes, butI figured it would be good to start back up again. So I am all signed up for fall classes. The nice thing is I only have to go to campus a couple times the whole semester since I don't have clinical hours to complete for these classes. Hopefully we will have a smooth uncomplicated pregnancy! I am most certainly feeling nervous about taking classes with the fear that something will happen while I am pregnant...but I am shedding a bit of hope onto the scene. Hopefully my new found hope isn't me being naive! A true pessimist can get those concepts a bit confused! ;-)

My injections seem to be moving along just fine. Today will be day 10 of my injections. I have an appointment at 8:15 tomorrow to see the doctor. Dr. Gloom who is back from vacation, so hopefully he is not completely irritated that the other docs went a head with the injections. I think it will be fine.

The Dave Matthews concert is coming up here soon! We actually got pregnant the day of the DMB concert last year...so hopefully Dave will bring us good luck again this year!

    Go Dave! My best friend and I went to the DMB concert at Blossom once when we were in college(or maybe shortly after?--he was still playing $5 Tuesdays at Trax when I was at school in C-Ville!). Anyway, that's such a great venue to see him play and I TRULY hope that it brings you a ton of luck!!!

    Oh girl I know the feeling. We should have our babies HERE not trying to get pregnant again. We should be changing poopy diapers, talking about breastfeeding, bottles, pacifiers. It just sucks.

    I am so increidbly glad that I got to meet you. You are such an amazing person and we will have to get together again VERY soon.

    *hugs*

    I love that you're going to the same concert again. I'd take that as a good sign.

    I'm sooo impatient too. I was an impatient person before losing Ella, but now it's worse. I think we're being reasonable.

    That's so cool you're studying to become a NP. Then, you'll be making the big bucks and you can host the lost baby mama's meet up at your house. :)

    Let us know what the doctor says.

    I'm thinking of you!

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....
