New Job

Looking for a new job when you know your boss is looking for your replacement is kinda scary.  You worry that the replacement will be found before you find something else.  It was literally just a week and a half ago that my boss and I had our talk.  It seems like it was months ago!  I was applying everywhere and not getting tons of calls (typical I know).  Anyways, I saw a job posting at another CPA firm and decided to apply.  I had the interview on Tuesday and got an offer yesterday.  It is literally perfect for me.  Like the job was written for me.  I am really excited to start the new journey there! 

So I am putting in my notice today with my current job.  It is bittersweet for sure.  I have been here almost 6 years and have been through a lot.  I got pregnant and gave birth to N while I worked here.  I went through my miscarriage.  Through two different houses.  Through the pregnancy and loss of Jasmine.  A lot has happened here.  So even though I feel that it is time I move on and I know this is for the best, I am still a bit sad.  I will miss some of my coworkers!  But am super excited to start at a new place and make new memories.  As corny as that sounds.

It will also kind of be nice to be at a place doesn't know all of my loss history right away.  Not that people at my work bring it up all the time or anything, but still nice to not have occasional memories of being pregnant with her when I walk into the building.  Just the little things that sometimes hit me, even though it's not super often lately.  All that to say, I think all the crap that happened this year was all leading to something bigger and better.  And I think this is the start of it.

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 pregnancy and infant loss.  Of

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 even again.  Ne
