Some days are wonderful and I can get through them without too many reminders. Others, I struggle with constant reminders of what I have been working towards for 18 months...being a mom. Today, started out sunny but as usual can turn on a dime due to variety of reasons. Its worse when ya don't see it coming. For someone who hasn't been in my shoes, haven't struggled with miscarriages or haven't had trouble getting pregnant, it's hard to wrap your head around all the reminders that surround me on a daily basis.
Here are a few:
1.Pregnant women.Everywhere.
2.Buying tampons
3.Families out on Easter Sunday
4.A coworker making casual conversation, asking me if I have kids
5.Monthly tracking of when I ovulate,mensturate and any related fertility functions
6.Prental vitamins plus extra folic acid,B12, B6 and aspirin
7.Holding my breathe that someone doesn't ask if I am pregnant at a family holiday dinner
8.Seeing another FB post of someone who is pregnant or just had their baby
9.Driving for blood work to check some blood level
10.Giving up alcohol
I totally hear you. I feel all these things too. Actually, I recently started drinking alcohol again at social events just so that people wouldn't ask me anymore if I was pregnant yet. Feel like it's just simpler that way. Too bad they don't make "fake wine...", think there'd be a market for that. Looks like wine, smells like wine, but nonalcoholic....
