Need Advice
I’ve decided to try not to wallow in this yucky yucky period. I’d like to instead approach this time by gathering advice and information on small things I can be in charge and in control of. I would like to focus on putting good things into my body and avoiding the bad. So, I am sure I am opening the flood gates but any advice? I have worked to cut down the coffee, taking good vitamins – but what else can I do?
Charlie
So next week we are going to be shelling out $1500 in more swimmers…hearty ones we hope. We have decided (i think) not to switch donors. Charlie works just fine for us now. We remain to have small crushes on our donor – his picture, his profile and plus we gave him a name, so we feel a little attached to him. We named him Charlie for no good reason then i was sick of referring to him as the donor. I don’t want to give this anonymous person more of a role in this process than we are biologoically required. This is about A and I trying to get pregnant together… not me and a donor. So, Charlie it was and it stuck.
On a side note
Thanks. To all the other bloggers, blogs, and commenters. I’m a writer at heart, but never too big on the diary/journal thing. But I’ve suprised myself in how helpful and comforting this is. While I love all of the blogs I’ve come across, the very lucky pregnant ones – i have a hard time reading right now. I find myself too jealous. I’ve read their histories, I know it wasn’t an easy road – but its hard to read about their big bellies and not get frustrated. So for those blogs of struggling women, thank you. I cherish the ability to read your thoughts and hear you say the things I am thinking. It makes this very lonely process we are going through liveable. I am sure it is also doing great things to preserve my sanity. A and I are the first of our friends to do this so their are no wise sages to talk to, you all are my sages. Thanks.

We too have found blogging and support from other bloggers to be invaluable. I confess that generally the only pregnancy and “have child” blogs I can read are those that I read prior to them getting pregnant – having read along with them during their struggles for a child, I kind of feel invested and excited when it does finally happen for them. I feel jealous too though. And sometimes a bit left out – I don’t have anything to comment when all talk is of morning sickness or breastfeeding, it’s outside of my experience. But not for ever I hope.
