Running Late Again!

Do you ever have one of those mornings where just everything seems to go wrong?  So much so that it starts to just get laughable.  I have had a lot of those lately! 

No matter what, I just can't seem to get to work on time and it's so frustrating.  I have to leave in the morning, drop N off at preschool and then drive to work.  I live and work in the same city, yet the amount of traffic we have is ridiculous.  I leave on time and then there is an accident or way more traffic than normal.  Or N doesn't want to cooperate, so I leave late, which just makes me late to work.  I give up on that!  I can't wait for school to end so traffic will at least be slightly better.  Or for them to at least finish construction so that I can take the road I used to take!

I was so proud of myself because I put some overnight oats in the crock pot last night.  I was making enough for it to be my breakfast for the next few days.  Instead, they burned and weren't edible.  Ok...will try take 2 for that one tonight (on the stove or in the fridge.  Definitely not the crock pot!)  But at least I'm up on time right?  Then N missed the potty when he was trying to pee and got it all over the floor and himself.  So then I spent time having to clean him and the floor up.  I actually did leave the house on time, but of course, traffic struck.  At least I was less late than I have been.  Only 6 minutes today!

My mornings are almost comical now! :-)  I know a lot of you can relate.  So now I'm trying to figure out more ways to save time so I'm not in this situation.  But I can't leave my house any earlier than I do because I have to wait until his preschool opens.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'm certainly open to them!

Jenna's Story

After over a year of trying to conceive naturally, my OBGYN suggested we try IUI. We did 4 IUI cycles with her before she recommended we move on to see a fertility specialist, who then tried 2 more IUI cycles before ultimately recommending IVF. We proceeded with IVF and that was an absolute rollercoaster. We went from the high of a fruitful egg retrieval, to an above average number of eggs fertilized. Then we were suddenly rocked to learn on day 3 that our embryos weren't looking great, and that we needed to brace ourselves for the possibility of nothing viable to transfer. This was our first taste of what we believed to be absolute heartbreak. So naïve. By some miracle, we ended up having 3 viable embryos on day 5. Those 2 days felt like an eternity then. Only 2 of those embryos ended up being good for transfer, so we thawed and transferred one and began our 2 week wait. We were floored to learn at the end of it that we were pregnant (spoiler: this one ends well, don't wo...

Project Finding Your Rainbow

It has been a while since I have written anything, but I am super excited about this idea.  I am sure some of you remember the rainbow skirt that I used for my maternity pictures with my rainbow baby.  If you don't, here are a couple of pics below. (If you need a great photographer, these were taken by McGowan Images) Since then, the skirt has pretty much just been sitting in my closet without getting any use.  I kept trying to think of some way that I could use it.  I then saw an article about someone who had a skirt like this and sent it out to other women who had a loss to use and they would take their picture with it. Thank you to someone who commented with the link.  You can read about the original person doing this  here . This is when I decided I wanted to do something similar.  Every since our loss, I have wanted to do something to help others who have had a loss/are going through a loss and something that would help bring awareness to ...

Anger

I have found that one of the strongest emotions I have had to deal with lately is anger.  I am angry at a lot of things.  I am angry at the doctors who abandoned me (in the end, every single one of them did and that really sucks).  The one who wrote off my daughter's chance to survive the moment of the CDH diagnosis, the one who told me well you can give birth to her now and spend a few minutes with her or you can wait and let her be stillborn, and the one who I had been counting on to help me and then wouldn't at the end.  I've mentioned it before, but it really sucks that doctors don't want to help you when they hear the word trisomy.  I wasn't asking for a miracle, I was asking for them to just TRY.  And in the end, no one would and we ran out of time.  The only one I did not feel abandoned by was my OB and he was the one person who couldn't really help in this situation.  Personally, I never want to see or speak with any of those doctors ...
