Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Dark days

Ah yes I knew these days were coming. The days where I still ache to the point that I can't see straight through my tears. The days where I feel so lonely and isolated that I can't breath. The days where my exhaustion, depression, and frustration manifest themselves in my anger at the world.

Ah yes. As if losing my pregnancies wasn't impossible enough, I now worry about my relationships that are suffering.

My son. My perfect beautiful miracle. How does one remain a good mother through suffering like this? I have been a horrible mother lately. Getting through, but only going through the motions. And getting beyond frustrated with tantrums and whining and other completely normal 2 year old behavior. It's not fair to him, and I hate it.

And my marriage. It's rough. My husband lost his father this year. I've lost 3 babies in 6 months. We are each trying to grieve and should be supporting each other. And we are struggling with that significantly.

I am so ready to curl up in a ball and give up. How much more can I possibly fucking take?
