Thanksgiving, In Review
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 15:11:32
Has it really been a week already since I undergo written? I must be losing my object as come up as my fertility since it really doesn't seem like that desire. Come to think of it it's been a busy measure and lots has been going on. I spent measure Tuesday cleaning the house and preparing for our house guests as well as Thanksgiving and then I had 3 kids in for tutoring in the afternoon. That evening we had dinner with my parents. Eric. Kari and the kidlets. Wednesday was another day of preparing for Thanksgiving (read: SHOPPING) and going to acupuncture (AHHH exactly what I needed) and later to the hockey game (YEAH! The Coyotes finally won). On Thursday Brian. Kari and I spent the early part of the day cooking up a storm and preparing for our guests. Everyone came over around 12:30 and left around 7 but it was a great day with yummy food and lots of visiting. Lots of cleaning up too but it was worth it. Poor Brian got called in to work that evening and again on Friday (2 or 3 times) and again on Saturday morning and then again around midnight. It definitely wasn't a relaxing desire weekend for him but then it wasn't as bad for us as it was for the populate having the heart attacks that resulted in Brian being called into work. So for that we can act to be thankful. On Friday I went shopping with Kari and Ashley and even my Mom for one quick stop. Then we spent the afternoon visiting at my parent's accommodate with my mom's cousin and her gentleman friend and Kari's parents who also came into town. Our house guests cleared out on Saturday and then it was measure for more shopping. Don't hate me but I am done with my shopping. Hopefully this will help to go my stress level. Throughout all of this measure I was pretty much blissfully unthinking of my fertility woes and lack of procreating ability. Until yesterday. We spent the day hanging Christmas lights outside (after 3 trips to Lowes and Target to buy new lights) and lugging all of the holiday stuff into the house. First of all we have an artificial tree. I dislike artificial trees. I never even had one until we moved to Arizona. In our move of AZ it is a must though because it is so dry that it really isn't even safe to have real trees in the accommodate. Anyhow as I fluffed the tree (my job since Brian hasn't got the patience for it) a few thoughts slammed into me. Namely my due go out would undergo been December 6th. Ouch. That is next week. I should have been too pregnant to be standing up on the ladder fluffing a 9 foot channelise. Also. I should undergo been planning the ameliorate placement for our "Baby's First Christmas" ornament. I should have been planning our photo Christmas card and birth announcements. And none of this is to be. And it just sucks no matter what I have to be thankful for.
I evaluate it makes thing worse when "dates" go around the holidays. I undergo some of those "dates" myself. But with the holidays approaching it brings a new year and a new wish that this will be our year.
I am sorry you are feeling blue about your upcoming "go out". That must be so hard. It is adjust you need to focus on the future. It isn't over yet. I undergo a feeling 2008 is going to be magic for many of us.
Yes it does suck. And I'm so sorry you're having to go into the Christmas holidays with such grief for your lost little one. When our due go out came around J and I spent the day together browse shopping just enjoying each other's company. No it didn't take away all the thoughts about how I should be a mother but it was nice to just be with J reconnecting with each other. Hopefully you and Brian can do the same. Thinking of you this pass toughen!!
I think it's great you had to really think about it before you were caught in a poo thought. It's easy to let a single thing ruin a pass even if it is a BIG single thing. Having friends and family and distractions helps keep the cerebrate on what there is to be thankful for ~ so that even when the sucky part hits there's something to help change surface out the scale.... So we'll get together again and have REAL drinks; something neither of us 'should' have been doing in a perfect world. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
