2nd Mother's Day and A Break

My 2nd Mother’s day started out pretty nice. Jonathan and I went to Rainbow Springs. When we got home from doing that I noticed that a special showing of Letters to Juliet was playing in a nearby town, so we decided to go see it. We got to Ocala and went to the mall and did some shopping and ate some lunch. Headed over the Best Buy to see the latest and greatest gadgets there are and then headed to the movie theatre. We got to the ticket counter and the movie was sold out. I was so disappointed. Honestly, in the 14 years Jonathan and I have ever been together we have never had this happen. Even for sneak previews. After that we just headed home and spent the rest of our day there. I was very surprised that I only had one major breakdown while having lunch.

Lately, my depression has kicked into overdrive. It pretty much all started since I got my last monthly. I was so disappointed we didn’t get pregnant last cycle even though I knew I shouldn’t and the fact that we are supposed to be on a forced break until I get out to North Carolina in June. I can’t do it, I just can’t.

I also need to take a break from my blog. It seems like everyday I read the blogs that I follow and everyday there is a new pregnancy announcement. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy for everyone. I’m just at a point right now where I feel like I will never get to have that again and it is depressing. We started trying again in Sept and nothing. I hate that I feel this way, but when you suffer from Infertility for so long and then lose your child and then have to deal with the infertility part all over again. IT SUCKS!

  1. I think infertility makes the grieving process 10 times harder. Even though another baby won't replace our angels, I do believe they help the heart to heal. I wish you the best of luck ttc!

  4. Totally get that!!!! As I type this, to the right of the comment box is the Grieve out Loud button and that's my sweet little boy's hand. It breaks my heart to see it because it took 10 LONG and HARD and PAINFUL years to get there...and that picture (and a few others and a lock of hair and an entire nursery full of unused things) is all I have....oh, and the gaping hole in my heart. Going through all the IVF AGAIN...when I had that perfect little miracle...it's just insult to injury, over and over.

    I can so, so relate to how you are feeling.
    Thinking of you!!!

  5. It sucks big time. Not only do we grieve for our boys but we grieve for our fertility too. It is just so incredibly unfair.

    Sending you big *hugs* Lisa.

  6. I am so sorry you are not able to get pregnant, it just hurts to have to wait even longer for a little one. I just wrote about this myself and you have been trying for longer than me. My thoughts are with you.
    Hugs.

  9. I was hoping that the break in your title meant that it was a good break. But, I understand what you are asking for. I will keep you in my prayers.

  12. Lisa, I'm so sorry for AF and all that it represents. Infertility sucks. Losing our sons sucks. I'm sorry I'm not there to support you and the other baby-loss mamas these days, but sometimes I worry for just the reasons you mention. And I don't take it personally at all. But I've been there and it hurts so much. Wishing you a break that is good for your soul. I hope Jasper sends you a little brother or sister soon. {{{hugs}}}
