Question?

Are the holidays over yet? I am already dying a slow painful death! Christmas is ridiculous! Yesterday, while getting my hair cut, a conversation with the guy washing my hair when something like this?

Him: Are you ready for Christmas?
Me: Yeah (Blah, blah, blah, Why even bother?)
him: What are you doing for Christmas?
Me: I have to work, so we are keeping it low key
Him: My wife works at a nursing home, I understand
me: I work at a hospital, so I know how that goes.
Him: Well hopefully you work on a happy floor like maternity
me: (are you freaking kidding me!) Well, maternity isn't always a happy floor

Well...that shut him up. But as we all know, all too well, maternity isn't always a happy floor. The holidays aren't always a happy time...especially for those who have suffered a great loss. People are oblivious! Hell...I am sure at some point I was oblivious too. Last year in my happy preggo state, Christmas day was pretty fantastically happy for me as well. But guess what, I was in the hospital by 10pm on Christmas dealing with premature preterm rupture of my water at only 22 freakin weeks. No, maternity is not always happy. Get a freaking grip!

Not to mention I am POSITIVE I am one of the sole survivors left of non pregnant women in Ohio! Is everyone pregnant? And if they aren't pregnant...I am sure they just had a baby! Probably working on their second right now! Watch out...attack of the procreating sperm and ovulating women; PREGNANT WOMEN ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!

Don't get me wrong...I wish I was one of them...but some of us aren't so lucky, and most certainly, some of us aren't so happy.

So here's to Christmas!

F%*@ You!

    Yeah, EFF YOU Christmas. Even when I have living babies at home (fingers crossed), I don't think I'll ever feel the same about Christmas. I wish we could hand out on Xmas and throw things together.

    Big ol Eff you Christmas! I agree with Bree, Christmas will NEVER be the same. I will always remember Christmas 2008 when I too was blissfully pregnant with my boys who SHOULD be here =(

    Yeah, maternity isn't always happy. :(

    Well, there's at least 2 of us in Ohio b/c I'm not pregnant either.

    I'm having a very bah humbug-ish attitude this year too. Or, I was. I think the holiday spirit finally hit me this week.

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
