I am so torn right now. It seems like everyone in my life right now is making plans for my future baby. Although I have only been here in AK since Jan '07, you'd think I'd known my good friends all my life. They are great. They always talk about the fab baby shower that they will give me and how Jack and I will be great parents and how they all want to be a part of the babies life but *sigh*... It is hard.
They don't realize how long this road has already been. How many times since 1999 that I have thought, "Am I pregnant?" or "Can I get pregnant?" It is all a roller coaster. For most of them, they are several years younger, have children and just do not understand the challenge it has been to get pregnant but even those who do just say the normal, "It will happen soon." still do not understand.
Hey, I am all for positivity but come on... I have to be a realist these days for my own personal sanity. Someone on here was once impressed at my ability to avoid HPTs but after so long.... I honestly do not know what I will do when it does happen. I may just pass out.
I really do not where this post is going as it is 2am but I just needed to vent. I am glad my friends are excited for DH and I but right now I feel so emotionally absent from the TTC girl that posts on this board when I talk to my friends. I can no longer allow myself to get as wrapped up on each and every symptom when over the years, I have only even met with disappointment. I am not saying that I have no hope but it is just hard to have faith, you know?
I know for a fact that DH feels the same way that I do. He wants a baby as badly as I do and is so on the TTC train but we both try to be realistic. The days of crying or getting depressed over a BFN are mostly gone. Now we just hope and pray and take it day by day.
Just venting my thought...
