This started as a blog about our journey in trying to conceive, IVF, the loss of our little angel, my pregnancy and birth of our twins, and our little surprise munchkin. Now we are all on a journey with the Army. This has become more of an update of our life but if you read from the beginning you will find info about our IVF experiences.

More frustrations...venting
SO - yesterday I was saying how bloated and gross I have been feeling. I decided to step on the scale today just to make sure I hadn't gained any weight and it was all just in my head. NOPE - not all in my head. It's in my butt, stomach, thighs, etc.... I gained 4 lbs since starting the BCP! REALLY? I wasn't up enough? I have 19 days before I start my IVF cycle so I can't diet really - and let's be honest, do I want to diet right at the holiday season?? It's going to be hard enough trying to make little adjustments to eat better for my TCM self-diagnosis! I could walk - BUT it's like 20 degrees outside and our roads are covered with ice and snow. I sold my treadmill to help pay for the last IVF so there goes walking. I don't think I'm going to burn a lot using Yoga but it is relaxing. I got home yesterday and was just in a grumpy mood. I finally decided to go up and try to do some Yoga. I found one on my favorite yoga DVD (Yoga for Stress Relief) that is called "Letting Go Of Your Day". BOY did that sound like what I needed! I was only able to do about 20 minutes of it (Nick got home and I just gave up) but even after 20 minutes I felt better. I really need to get back to doing it EVERY day. It really helps my mood. I'm still not excited about the holidays. I am annoyed by happiness. I try not to be but I am. I just want to close myself up in my house away from everyone. I think this might be a sign that I'm depressed. What do you think? January 1st was my 3rd trimester mark - instead of celebrating that I'll be starting stim shots again. I just didn't realize that losing the baby would still be hitting me SO hard. I was doing pretty good for awhile but now I just am so damn angry that it's gone. I want it back. :-( I want to be shopping for it and putting the finishing touches on it's room. I want to be getting excited about meeting it for the first time. I hate this. I absolutely hate this. To know that getting pregnant again and having that chance again is "iffy", it just kills me. I hope and pray that it works and we're able to bring our little one(s) home with us and everything will go well. But the fact that I know there is high percentage of us not being able to do that - it just sucks. OK I've got to get past being depressed. Not good for anyone. I guess it's good to get it out.
