Feeling down.
Felt down all weekend. Saturday I could barely get off the couch. Sunday was better, but it's Monday morning, and I'm still feeling bad.
Tomorrow is our anniversary. We made reservations at someplace nice. It's supposed to rain hard all day.
There are going to be lots of little kids around for Thanksgiving. I think 5 under 5. Maybe that's why I'm feeling so down. If one of my pregnancies had worked out, we'd have a 1 or 2 year old at this point.
I don't want to skip Thanksgiving because I think that will be worse, but I'm not in a very good place right now.
Life as an adoptive family.
My Story

- 4 miscarriages, 3 failed IVFs with PGD, 2 different sperm donors, 1 diagnosis of balanced translocation. Now we are the proud parents of a boy via domestic infant semi-open adoption. We had a failed match for kid #2 and are now matched again.

I know it's tough right now. Hang in there.
I'm sorry Rachel. The holidays are a time when the down in all of us can come out, aren't they?

I'm skipping Thanksgiving this year and there aren't even any children in our family!
Do what's best for you and take care of yourself. The holidays are hard for many of us.
Thinking of you.
Rachel,
Other people's kids are TOUGH. Especially around the holidays. Know that you are not alone in this. We're all with you. Take care of yourself -whatever that means for you. and don't feel a whit of guilt about it!
Thanks for stopping by our blog awhile back. You were one of our first commenters!

It's so hard to be around little kids and think 'what if'.
Hugs. x
