Sippin' wine and eatin' chocolate...warning: pity party inside

mhop

When I last posted the TTC check in, I mentioned our ttc issues.  Shananchris said every person who struggles infertility deserves a pity party. 

While I know we all have tons to celebrate, sometimes we also have things that get us down.  

Tonight, it's the fact that my ovaries don't seem to like to do much and we're probably moving to IVF.  Oh, and I'm still bummed that we had to move Campbell to the younger class at preschool because she was the only one not walking or talking.

So, I'm bringing the wine.  Anyone want to join me? And you don't have to be feeling bad about anything, you can just join me with alcohol.

I have mentioned before that my darling hubby is unemployed. He's been in process with a law enforcement agency since february, and we just found out last week it's a no go... And his unemployment runs out in about 2 months...

So I'm coming to your party. And I'm brining Sangria... it's hot here!

I love Sangria!  And that stinks about your husband. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for you both!

I'm sorry Martha

I'm so sorry Martha.  I would love to have a glass of wine with you, with everyone on this board.  Lord knows we all need it.

I would love to have a glass of wine with you. I am going back to work tomorrow after not working for 16 months between bedrest and staying home with Brandon and having a hard time.

Nice to know I'm not alone!  I'm all about the pity party tonight.  Besides the hip surgery coming up, Aubrey is back on a not-drinking-any-liquid-any-way strike.  She's always been tough to bottle feed (HAVE to have her asleep).  Sippy cups... well it just depends on the day.  But now, the last couple of days, none of the old tricks work.  I swear we spend so much time trying to feed her a bottle that we don't get any spare time!  I'm drained not only physically, but mentally too.  I thought for sure now that she's 1 that things like this would get better.  And of course, like any preemie mom, I can't help but blame my damn body for doing this to her.  ::clinking wine glasses with you and taking a big gulp:: ::hell with it... chugging the bottle!::

Is it bad that I am having a flashback to college and hearing drunken frat guys chanting chug! chug! chug!

Oh, an I seriously get the whole blaming my body for all of this...right now I'm really struggling with the fact that not only does my body not want to GET pregnant, it doesn't want to STAY pregnant.  Not good for my self esteem...

Thanks for inviting us to the Pity Party...I am sorry about IVF and about what your going thru and you deserve a little wine for yourself. Your new blog is great and I am sharing it with my sis, I think it's helping her to not feel alone. I am sorry about Campbell and preschool too, I know how much I just always want Lily to fit in and hate when it strikes me in the face, that she is behind or little when I see her with others her age.

I'm willing to dump a glass of wine and say "this one's for my homies" - that's you mhop!

LOL, no!  Chugging, frat boys, college.... ah, the good ol' days!

I agree.  Fertility problems and having a preemie... I swear I apologize to my husband like once a week for being a terrible woman.  Needless to say, having those issues have pretty much rid me of any moments of ever feeling sexy and like a real woman ever again.  God better have some answers for me when I get to wherever it  is I'm going.

I'm sorry!  I had my fair share (and more) of chocolate earlier :-)

I'm already freaking out about my stupid ovaries working for #2 and we aren't even close to thinking about ttc again!  IF is awful and you have every right to have a pity party right now! 

My pity party is because my mom's ms is getting worse.  She's doing okay, but walks like she's drunk.  I hate that she won't be able to run around and play with my kids like she got to with my neices and nephews. 

I'll bring a bottle of wine and the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that I just made!  Alcohol and chocolate make everything better, right?

I'll bring the double chocolate Godiva Cheesecake.

 I'm sitting here just balling missing my cupcakes who are still very much in the NICU located over an hour away.  I know I need to be here at home with my toddler but gee this sucks.

Hang in there mhop!

Oh honey. (((HUG))) I'll drink with you. I don't have anything major, just dreading the next few weeks because it's new IFSP time with EI, which means lots of evalutations which means lots of feeling like crap.

So sorry... pity parties are definitely needed once in a awhile. :-)
