Two years ago, DH & I were flying off to Jamaca for vacation. We had two goals: 1) finalize our scuba certification and 2) celebrate the start of TTC. It was a great vacation. We dove, relaxed, ate a lot food, read books about pregnacy, and mostly dreamt about the coming years and how they would change our lives.
Now I can't believe that was only two years ago. We conceived quickly for an IF couple, just barely under a year. Yes it was a struggle, but I was determined tht it wasn't going to break me. The loss however, did. I look back and barely recognize that girl from two years ago. Her excitement, naitivite, innocence... How could that have been me?
We don't look any different on the outside... and I yet I can barely recognize my old self.
If IF has taught me nothing else, it has definitely brought understanding to the adage, you can't judge a book by its cover. Just because you can't see the cracks and the hurts, it doesn't mean they don't exist.

I'm here from LFCA. I wish I was not welcoming you to this blogosphere, but you are here so I will welcome you. I am sorry for all that you've been through, especially the loss of your girls. I lost my son, Myles, at 26 days of age, so I know the pain that you face daily. This pain coupled with a long struggle with infertility can be unbearable at times. I hope that you find some peace, comfort, and understanding among us infertiles and babyloss mamas. ((HUGS))
