And sometimes it takes time or a want to eventually get there.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405558996113640045.post-70573742140863029732015-06-17T08:55:26.120-04:002015-06-17T08:55:26.120-04:00I'm glad that at least your head knows that is...I'm glad that at least your head knows that isn't true, and that it may be able to raise its voice loud enough to speak firmly to your heart. I love this: "I am trying very hard to live the life I have now." We all need to do that, regardless of the situation. It's so hard but so important.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405558996113640045.post-73198344432318102092015-06-15T23:15:05.031-04:002015-06-15T23:15:05.031-04:00Thank you, Jess.

And yes, to find peace in that. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405558996113640045.post-26358361999756671672015-06-14T12:42:53.040-04:002015-06-14T12:42:53.040-04:00This is so, so hard.

I had a period of time where everything I did was around infertility and acupuncture and maya massage and yoga and preparing body and mind for pregnancy, and honestly I feel like the end result was the same (nada) and I missed some opportunities to be a whole person elsewhere. But, it had to happen for me to realize that I guess. So if you can realize that you want your life to be "More than" before you swallow up your choices and dreams with everything infertility, that is wonderful and something to celebrate! Putting your life on hold completely doesn't make you a better mom-to-be or a harder "tryer," but for some it may seem like the best path. Do your path. I think living your life for more is super healthy, and your baby if and when he/she comes will appreciate the person you are for it. :) Peace to you!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
