Hey, Nicole! I definitely think you can blame the sappiness on hormones. Really.....I know what it's like to be hyped up on all the hormones for IVF and it takes a LONG time to get out of your system. So, sappiness allowed.
I always sing that Rascal Flatts song.....Broken Road.
"I set out on a narrow way many years ago. Hoping I would find true love along the Broken Road. But, I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow kept pushing through. I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you. Every long lost dream led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars. Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms. This much I know is true. That God blessed the Broken Road that led me straight to you."
For whatever reason, that was road I had to travel to get Kate. I wasn't always happy about it, but she's the reason. I guess I could have gotten pregnant right away and had another baby (probably 2 in that time), but then I wouldn't have HER. She was worth the wait, worth the needles, worth the pain, worth everything.
I spent a lovely weekend in the hospital getting rehydrated. Geez, pregnancy is hard on me. But, I'm more than halfway there, so I don't have much longer. Just keep pressing forward!
I wanted to pass on a note about a Tyra Banks show. Her people put out a call for people struggling with IF. They got Resolve involved, as well as a bunch of national IF organizations. Then, they started soliciting for guests using this.....
DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN OBSESSED WITH BECOMING PREGNANT?
Do you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom? Have you seen and heard her struggle for years, felt her unvoiced jealously and seen her desperation first hand? Have you watched silently for too long as she gets her hopes up only to be disappointed and heartbroken when she cant conceive? Has she tried extreme methods and spent a lot of money to get pregnant with no luck? Do you want to finally tell her she needs to stop the emotional and physical stress on her body and seriously consider adoption or a surrogate alternative? If you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom and getting pregnant, then SUBMIT BELOW.
She's basically preparing people to ambush infertile women to tell them to get over it and stop trying - as if it's anyone else's business. You'd think she was talking about people obsessed with exercising or people obsessed with shoes and, oh, won't it be funny to tell them that they need to quit with the obsession?
Anyway, I don't find it entertaining to have women who are hurting enough confronted on TV and told to get over it or "just adopt". I sent a nice letter to the show expressing my opinion.
Oh, GypsySue! My BFP with Kate looked just like that. Then, I took another one and it was lighter and I went into a panic. But, it got darker and darker and, obviously, worked out just fine! Congratulations! Keep us posted.
