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...
Come on follies!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you tomorrow. *hugs*
I was going to say, is your cycle shorter when you're on the injectibles? I finally got the O sign on my monitor- day 16. Hope you're weekend is going well. Wish I had the funds, I'd fly out to have lunch with you and Courtney. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post. It describes my situation perfectly!
God please help this follicle grow. Still praying for you.
ReplyDeleteGrow follies grow! So, what time is your appointment on Tuesday? Perhaps we'll cross paths...we visit Dr. N at 9:45 for the bean's nuchal translucency scan. I'm thinking so many positive thoughts in your direction, Kate! Hope your 125u Follistim does it's thing and you get to where you need to be soon. I know Zoelle will be so happy to have a little brother or sister to look out for from above, and you and Tim will be such amazing parents.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kate,
ReplyDeleteI found your link on Brenna's blog and was interested to see that you, too, (a) lost a little girl halfway through your pregnancy and (b) are in the midst of Follistim shots with this cycle. I am, too, although we are doing IVF for the first time. I will be following along with you and hoping for three perfect eggs for you. (BTW, that is what we had in our pregnancy with Follistim + IUI - and we got three perfect babies out of it. We lost them almost four months ago due to a horrible infection that nearly killed all four of us.) Good luck in your Tuesday appointment. I will check back for the good news. :)
