I can’t wait to have morning sickness.

I wonder if they know how lucky they are. each time I read a post on face book a new friend is announcing a pregnancy (its probably not every time but when you’re trying that’s all you see) they complain about morning sickness, they’re posting funny pregnancy memes, they do the whole picture with a fruit beside them with all the updates, and deep down I’m happy for them.

We never got to do that… I mean sure I downloaded an app that told us all the cool things, but I never told anyone. I was too scared to say anything on any social platform. I knew that something was wrong though. I could just feel it in my heart, but I couldn’t admit it to myself. I lost that little bean a year ago. I don’t wanna get into the nitty gritty but it happened.

So here we are a year later we’ve healed as much as you could expect but honestly it’s a pain that I never stop feeling… Before I couldn’t go out in public without bawling my eyes out looking at happy families or having a mental brake in the baby isles at Walmart. I’ve come a long way. Now I just open my closet to look at all the diapers I bought in hopes to stock up. I shed a few tears over the outfit my husbands sister bought us. It’s gonna be ok though. its ok to feel that way.

So in conclusion of todays post I wanna shed some positive light on the fact that yours truly has started her ovulation/fertile week off right. I’m filled to the brim with the finest of prenatal vitamins and, other helpful supplements and we’ll probably talk about all that in the next post. Till then I hope you all have a lovely day and send some positivity or prayers my way!!

Ps. I just wanna put it out there but like I am 100 percent aware that my punctuation sucks and I’ve been the queen of a run on sentence since I knew what it was… haha I’ll figure it out one day.


Trying For The Rainbow

My husband and I have been together for a while. Nothing impressive like high school sweet hearts or childhood lovers, but we have a cool story. There was never a doubt in my mind when it came to him. I knew from the start that Josh was gonna be it. So naturally we wanted to have kids. Being a mother is my dream and starting a family with my best friend is all I could have ever asked for but unfortunately making a baby is not as easy as it seems.

It has been two years of trying, and crying, and waiting, and praying. we’ve had our hearts broken, but we’re still here trying to make a dream a reality. My hope is that through our journey I’ll be able to let other people know that they’re not alone. I’m not the the only one struggling. We aren’t the only parents who have a baby in heaven. we aren’t the only ones disappointed with a negative test every month. The harsh reality of TTC is that it doesn’t always happen right away… and that’s ok.

I like letting myself know that it’s ok. It’s sometimes the hardest thing to do. I don’t have all the answers, but I know I want to share our journey… because there is another woman out there wondering the same things I do. wondering why her body isn’t doing what it was built to do. I understand the struggles. I know what loss is. This is my TTC story. I’m excited for the future!
