3/25/2017 0 Comments a baby-free weekToday was tough. I went to a bridal shower and my sister was there with my new little niece. It's hard to explain to people who haven't dealt with infertility that you don't want them to NOT have babies but sometimes babies or pregnancy announcements make you sad. My cousin, who told me she'd had a miscarriage while I was going through IVF, is pregnant now. I was holding my three month old niece while my sister and cousin talked about pregnancy. My cousin didn't tell me she was pregnant.
It was just sad for me. Happy for them! Sad for me. Not to mention the hormones coursing through / leaving my body. I spent Friday afternoon with a friend who went through two rounds of IVF and some IUI. She started treatment when she was my age. None of the fertility treatments worked but she and her partner ended up having two kids on their own. It was really nice. She brought her baby with her. A friend of mine lives around the corner. She has a 16-month-old. I hang out with her a few times a week. Another friend lives a few blocks away. Her little one is almost 2. And so on. I spend a LOT of time with babies. For the most part I love them. I really do. I think babies are amazing creatures. Little humans, learning at a crazy pace, becoming more like us, becoming themselves. But today was my limit for a while I think. So I'm going to do a baby-free week this week. It will also be the first week of my new cycle. I'm also pledging to do mind-body related thing for an hour for myself every day (meditation, exercise, yoga, etc) this week.
