"____" steps

I am feeling much better today.
My mood is a little more level.
My pee is flourescent yellow, but oh well. That is the work of those fabulous Vitamin B complexes.
I really think the Evening Primrose Oil, Omega 3 Fish Oil (yes, it's not vegetarian, but if it works, it works), and Timed release Vitamin B complexes are working.

We'll see.
Thanksgiving is on Thursday, so that will be the test.

I feel like I can be "me" for awhile without being a preggers (you know, with a baby inside and all that). If I take my time and do this right, and work this out..
This is such a small piece of my life in the grand scheme of things. What is a year? What is a lifetime?

I want to be 90 years old, sitting on the porch with my children, grandchildren, and great-grand children looking at a photo album, reflecting on this time in my life with love and peace in my heart...

It's odd I've started thinking about that more and more recently; not being pregnant. In a lot of ways I like having my body back, I can do things again that a couple of months ago were impossible. Like you say I get to be 'me', well the new 'me', but still. Maybe I'm just trying to appreciate the small things so that this isn't all one big black hole.

I'm trying to hold off for as long as possible on the getting pregnant again front. I won't deny that it's hard, but like you say what's a year in the grand scheme of things? Although mine is more likely to be what's 6 months in the grand scheme of things. I'm ready to have children in my life so I don't want to wait too long. But waiting can be good, waiting to become as much of you again as you can and waiting to find some peace with it all would be even better.

I'm glad you're feeling better!

One day, I hope to look back on all of this and be thankful for the experience. I will become a better person because of it and that will be the meaning that it brings to my life. My son did that for me.

I'm happy to hear you are feeling better too. There's hope for us all.

I hope you get your moment of peace/comfort when you are 90...I really do.

Yes, I have the same sort of want. Only recently did I understand how hard that was going to be.

Delurking to say I'm so awfully sorry about your loss and your struggles.

The part about wanting to wake up at a later date after the pain has waned? I so get that.

Wishing you and your family a gentle and peaceful Thanksgiving.
