Day Three... November 2nd, 2022.


Day three of my new medication to help me while I navigate the waters I’ve never walked through before.
I feel like I don’t really recognize myself right now and that I’m just trying my best to get through each day. Staying busy and social with kiddo’s school activities, support groups, friends and family, has helped some.
Today I had an incredible opportunity so I’ll share a little so you can celebrate this moment with me.
I received a call yesterday afternoon from one of the fertility clinics we are considering working with and they asked if I’d like to take an appointment that was the next day. I’ve been on the cancellation list for a few months now, and my appointment wasn’t until the first week of January. So I said yes and began the whirlwind process of calling offices to get my records sent over.
Appointment time came and even though I was feeling anxious and nervous, (the doctor wasn’t able to preview the records I worked so hard to send over beforehand); the doctor was compassionate, caring, understanding, and no pressure whatsoever about everything. That helped me relax quite a bit and after our conversation I have renewed positivity and hope for our family having one more living child we get to watch grow up.
I have a lot of work to do for myself still, (mental health, physical health, ankle stability..). This process ahead for fertility isn’t going to happen next month, I imagine it may take a few months to begin. We now have our foot in the door, so to speak, and can see where this path takes us.
I continue to hold onto hope. Feeling thankful I’m able to share some of my joy with you all.

Supporting one another. January 18th, 2023.

  One of the most important things we can do, is support one another. Sharing something that Sia Cooper shared on her Facebook Page. I really appreciated reading this. " Sia Cooper   January 18 at 5:41 PM    ·  Full on. Full out. Full force. This photo was taken last night at the Golden Globes when Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress for her role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Look at Jamie Lee Curtis. Look. At. Her. You can feel her energy, her fire, her power. Her excitement, joy and passion for Michelle is palpable. The photo moves. It vibrates. If you saw this photo without context, you may think that it was actually *Jamie* who won. Ladies, this is your vibe for 2023. Hype. Other. Women. When she wins, fight the urge to question… …who does she think she is? …why is she getting attention? …did she really deserve it? …is she really that good? ...what about me? Guess what? The world has sold you a lie. Her success doesn’t detract from yours. Her wins don’t...

Hope to feel like me again. December 5th, 2022.

  Photo edited from my Picsart app. Seems like to be a popular way to express yourself right now on social media… Been thinking of my first huge child loss, ten years ago, our Apple Marie and Banana Lee. I have memorial tattoos I got about 9.5 years ago, an apple and banana with snow flakes. This December 9th and 10th, will be ten years since they each died. After last week’s doctor follow up appointment, I decided to try what the doctor suggested, began a second medication to help even out the emotional flatness I’ve been having. Hoping it helps however I can already tell I feel different. Here is to hope that I begin to feel like me again.
