Some days... (A little something for TTC ladies)
Some days its not so hard. You get busy or you just forget for a moment. Other days you see things that are constant reminders. Walking past the baby isle in the store, passing a mother with a beautiful baby, passing a preganat women just grabbing some milk... Or its closer to home, checking social media and seeing yet another "I'm preganat!" Post, or talking to a friend who's just become pregnant, or simply laying in bed or sitting on the couch watching a show and a women announces she's pregnant, or checking the mail and seeing yet more junk mail advertising "baby formula". It's everywhere. Sometimes people don't understand how hard it truly is. I know I didn't until I started trying to concieve my 2nd child. I'm blessed to even have one and I know that. It still doesn't make it any easier. Every month tracking EVERY thing. The time that goes into it. Getting exited bc you missed your period by a day. Walking to your bathroom with a brave face. Grabbing that test, taking that test, sitting and waiting for it to come back. Sometimes you don't want to watch those colors come across so you look away and simply time it. Anticipating the results and trying not to get too exited. Sometimes you can't peal your eyes away from it. Once its done and that times up you stare at it. Praying that second little line is truly there this time. Praying this time it's your turn. You may even take pictures, hold it up to a light, set it down at a different angle. Just searching for that line. When it comes back negative you may feel hopeless, alone, sad, frustrated. So you wash your hands, toss the test or maybe you set it on a shelf. You put on a brave face so no one you love outside that door will know you are disappointed. And you struggle to tell yourself "next month will be different. Next month will be MY turn." But... With all of this said just try and remember, the more pressure you put on yourself the harder it may be. Remember that EVERY thing is going to work out. Have fun while you "try" for that baby. The more you push yourself the more "symptoms" you will "feel". It can put a strain on even the best of us. Remember you are a women. You are a magnificent being. Your body is absolutely amazing! The things our bodies do most scientists can't even explain. Thats because we are unique, strong, and above all resilient !! I have faith that WE will have our turn! We will be able to sit here and make our announcement post to tell the world it IS OUR turn! So keep that brave face. Don't give up hope! You never know!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
