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 . . .

To write, or not to write

I really only started sharing this blog 3-4 months ago. And in that time it's had a ton of visitors. More than my photography blog ever got. And it has gotten almost as many visits as my personal family blog that has been up and running for 4 years. That's kinda crazy. I want people to read - it's the closest I can come to sharing my experience. (Although SUPER close family and friends don't know it exists. Sometimes it is too raw for what I want them to know about. I don't need my phone ringing every time I have a bad day.) But in some ways I feel like that's changing what I may say. And I don't want that to happen. This is my journal - my outlet - my words I have typed with tears streaming down my face on more occasions than I can even begin to recollect.

So let this be a disclaimer - no matter what the outcome, the next few weeks and months are going to be crazy. I will either have to deal with my 5th loss or live in constant fear that at any moment I am going to have to deal with my 5th loss. It's going to be a mind-fuck like nothing I have ever been through. I don't blame anyone if they want to stop reading through all of this. But I am asking that if you keep reading not to judge me for my lack of sanity. I am coping the best way I know how, and some days are better than others.

So with all of that being said, I am not coping well today . . . I am a fucking disaster about tomorrow. A complete fucking disaster, and I have no idea how to cope with this type of stress for what could be weeks or months. I feel completely emotionally incapable of tackling this pregnancy and just want something (ANYTHING) in this fucked up journey we are on to go our way. :(
