Feeling like a bitch

Sometimes I get so frustrated! I think I am going to leave facebook...for good! Every time I get on there I am left feeling depressed. I swear all I see is pregnant pictures, baby updates and smart ass remarks how peoples kids are "driving them nuts." Better yet people complaining about pregnancy nausea or whatever...seriously? You think that is a difficult pregnancy because you are having morning sickness? How about trying for months to get pregnant, having ovaries so large I was on bedrest, a subchorionic bleed for weeks then losing my daughter at 24 weeks. Nausea? I wish that was the worst of my worries when I was pregnant.

Maybe I am jealous...we have been trying for over a year to get pregnant and we are not. I sit back and watch all of my friends, family and coworkers have babies...living babies. I go to showers, birthday parties and whatever else I get invited to...yet here we are with empty arms? How can I not be cynical? I am to the point I don't give a shit if I offend people or say something rude. People say insensitive, rude comments to me ALL OF THE TIME.

Honestly, I am over this whole deal. At this point, I don't give a fuck if I get pregnant or not. I guess I am setting myself up for failure because it's all I have come to know this year. I am failing at something I have absolutely not control over. Yet I have to watch the world have baby after baby...

So...call me a bitch. I don't care. Call me jealous...I am. I am angry and annoyed. WTF!

    You are far from a bitch Kate. You have every right to feel the way you feel. I remember feeling the same way after my failed FET. If you need to leave FB I say go for it. It's evil and you do not need to see anything that will upset you. I know, that shit upsets me too and I still want to leave FB especially when my SIL posts about her pregnancy blah. I had terrible morning sickness with the boys and would do it 100x over again if they could be here with me.

    Always here for you!
    *hugs*

    I hear you! I got very upset at friend today who was complaining about breastfeeding for 8 weeks. Telling me I shouldn't do it. Really? I'd give anything to have a baby at my breast. People suck! Will you still text me your status updates when you leave fb?

    I agree w/ you Kate. Social networking after you lose a baby is beyond unimaginable honestly! I deleted my FB and myspace a few months after Ella died..I was just done w/ it. And it was the BEST thing I ever did! I recommend it. I am back on FB now under an alias talking to only a few ppl ;)

    I do not go for any baby showers. Actually I do not go near any baby. I held my dying child in my arms, against my chest for three whole days - his cry - the one single cry I heard haunts me. I cannot hear any baby cry - it just acts like an arrow piercing my heart. I must be a really selfish person to not want to hold any babies - but that is how I am.

    Honestly, I felt and still sometimes feel the same way. I have had to "hide" many people on FB because of the complaints I would see about their kids or talk would talk about how they are pregnant and are praying so hard for a boy/girl...rather than being freaking happy to have a living child. It sucks. When it isn't happening for you, it sure does feel like the entire rest of the world is pregnant or with babies. All I can offer you is hugs and tell you I understand.

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....
