Yay! Doing a happy dance here because I got the call yesterday that my hCG levels are down! Every time I hit a new stage or layer of this journey I have these swirling emotions. It makes me sad to be happy that my levels are down to zero. Such a mind fuck this whole thing is.
Then, I got a call tonight that our little nephew was born. Which is great news for my SIL. MH and I were asked to be the guardians so we really felt like we should go to the hospital. We didn't get home until 1:00am. For the second time today I got hit with a train wreck of emotions. Obviously I am so happy for her, but then the other part of me that is little and hiding and still needing tender care wants to go run away. I talked to DH and he actually felt the same way. Wow!
THEN, in conversation someone mentioned how funny it was that the youngest member of our family is having the first baby. My MIL pipes up and says, "well, they are healthy and young and have a long road of babies ahead of them." ... ... ... then says very quickly, "not that you aren't healthy and young too..." and while I know that she truly didn't mean anything by the first statement - it stung.
Anyway, we went. I held the baby. They were beaming, it was all great. Now I'm home and tired. It is 8:30 am here and I'm seriously considering a non coffee morning drink....
Anyone have a funny gif to cheer me up?
