Opinions please

Chelbie.

So, my husband and I had a miscarriage. And none of friends or extended family know. Recently it feels like everyone is getting pregnant. I typed this up to share on face book and was hoping to see why you all thought. I don't want to come off as rude, bitchy, or wanting a pitty party.

Tyler and I have been going back and forth about making this public. Before I get into all of this, I want everyone to know that I strongly believe that no conversation should be taboo. Life isn't a secret, and bad things happen. And we should be able to have these conversations. Yet here we are in 2017, finding it hard to talk about common things. For instance miscarriage and struggles with conceiving. Here recently we've been faced with things I would not wish on the people I like the least. When Tyler and I started dating we both only wanted one kid, Haiden. And then we got married, and well we aren't getting younger. And one day we won't be here. And I never want Haiden to be alone. And if we only had one, that's what would happen. And that bothered me, let's be honest it still does. So Tyler and I talked, and fought, and talked. Together we decided to give it a go and have a second baby. Now while we aren't getting younger, we aren't old...yet. So I went to my OB and we tried with no luck from October 2016 to March 2017. We decided an exploratory surgery to see if I had endometriosis would be beneficial. Well there was nothing wrong with me. Tyler and I continued to keep trying. And then, we got pregnant. We found out we were pregnant right before we had a miscarriage. We had no answers, and no one really knew we were even pregnant until after the fact. Tyler was my rock. And I had, and still do have a hard time being sad about it. Why? Because I don't want other people to be sad. That's not fair to them. Together Tyler and I have coped with the emotions of this. There are days that it's still very hard on me. And that's okay, we will get through this. So, while our friends, family, and connections are experiencing the best times of their lives, please know we are so happy for you. We are excited to see you go through everything parenthood brings you. Because he a parent is great. It's the best thing that will ever happen to you. But while we are happy for you, please know we're still coping, and we're sad for us. So if we don't make it to an event, or don't respond in a way you wanted us to please try to understand we mean nothing by it. I promise we are excited for you and we are happy for you. It's just a little harder right now.
