This weekend has been pretty good- though today will be spent cleaning. My 6 yr old nephew and 2 yr old niece left a nice big mess after spending the night with us.

I start one of my other summer classes this week and hopefully next week will start my internship (if the get all my paperwork together and don't get it all messed up again...) Hopefully I will be okay!

QOTD: My SIL said, "Some people can only handle becoming parents easily. Unfoturnately, you aren't one of those people." It really resonated with me.

Update:Not too much to update here. 5 DPO...not too much longer until we can TTC again. The rest of this cycle should go pretty quickly because I have a lot going on right now.

This weekend has been very nice so far and today is absolutly beautiful! I am looking forward to picnicing later at my in-laws. Should be fun!

QOTD: Is is sad that I can't think of anything? I guess DH just generally being supportive. He reminds me that everything has been pretty easy for us so far, which is very true. We are very blessed. I try to keep that in the front of my mind through everything.

Holiday weekend is going good! Just hanging out, relaxing and getting some stuff done around the house. Getting ready to hopefully get in the pool in the next hour or so.

QOTD: I don't think it was anything *said* in particular. I just had a good friend who recently went through a miscarriage (no one knew but her immediate family) and she would check up on me. When I was ready to talk shewas a huge help in that she understood exactly what I was going through.

I had a great holiday weekend! How are my other April Mamas doing?

The most encouraging thing? Hmm....there's been a lot. I think the biggest one is it'll happen when it's meant to happen and God doesn't make mistakes. (I'm religious so that last one hits home.)

I really like this one.

This weekend was good - did yard work and started a memorial garden for the kiddos.

I think the thing that has stuck with me the most was what Summers nurse said as we were preparing to let her go. I forget the exact wording but it went something like "a parents job is to love and look out for their child, make decisions for them when they can't. You love her so much that you are able to let her go. She won't suffer anymore".

We loved them and let them go. I will forever question myself but deep down I know it was the right thing to do. Ok so I'm weepy today big hugs April mommas.

The holiday weekend was ok but I was in jacksonville, fl where we had that tropical storm so it rained the entire time. I was also kind sad because the holiday is sad and I keep thinking about my ex boyfriend and friends who have died defending the country. Probably my husband just being a constant support and encouragement. Nothing he said in particular but just being there for me. Haha I can tell you the worst thing someone said though. My grandma on my 4th.pregnancy said "is this one going to last?" Not encouraging and of course I lost that baby too.
