New Babies
So I thought that I was finally ok with pregnant women and babies...not so much. My sister in law had a baby boy this week. I am happy for the newest edition to their/our family but it brought back those sad feelings of disappointment. I have wanted to be a mom since I can remember. A year ago I was hoping for that BFP and in about a month I got it. I never imagined a year ago that I would say goodbye to 2 babies. The hard thing is that when you have a new baby in the family you get the group texts all day. So all day you are reminded that your babies are in heaven. I never imagined that I would have this reaction and I feel bad for feeling this way but it is how I feel. Thankfully they live a 3 hour plane ride away. DH went to see them for the night since he is off this week. I just can't. The last infant I held was Natalie. I have held little ones but not newborns. I can't...I had such anxiety over this s few days ago. She is the one I want to hold again. DH sent me pictures of our 2 nieces when he got there. When I first saw that he sent pictures my heart sank. I thought they would be of the baby, they weren't because I am married to the best man alive who thinks about the fact that I can't go with him because my heart is still breaking. Oh but then...someone (not my hubby) attached me to a group text with loads of pictures of him holding the baby, edited pictures. Maybe he hasn't told them the real reason I didn't come out yet. I shouldn't be surprised that people do not even think about someone in my positions feelings. I am sure they think I should be past this now. I shouldn't have expectations of others but I guess I do because I try to really think about others' feelings. I deleted the thread. I have taken Facebook off of my phone and rarely go on it on my computer. Babies are in your face everywhere. I just need a break. I want so badly to go back to being that happy go lucky person I was. I know I have grown and learned from this experience but emotionally this is so hard. Thank goodness FEEL group was this week and everyone said these feelings are very normal. I just feel like it isn't the reaction God wants me to have. I know he has a plan for us. I know all things work for his good. The waves and wind still know his name. I am terrified to try again. The ladies at FEEL said you will know when you are ready but you will never again have that happy blissful pregnancy. DH wants to wait a while more so we can pay off the hospital bills. If it weren't for that he would probably be fine trying again. I am tired of crying. I am ready for happy stuff. I really am so blessed to be married to the man I am married to. I wish no one had to go through what we have gone through but my hope for those who do is that they have a strong support system with their family but especially their spouse/partner. He has really been my rock and my supporter and encourager.
