1 year (just some ramblings)
I am having a really hard time getting into Christmas this year. I don't know if it's the stress from the accident, life in general or if it is because tomorrow marks one year of actually trying.
Last year on Christmas Eve my cousins wife announced her pregnancy, I didn't take it well at all. The next morning Rich came to me and told me he was ready to start trying. Now here we are a year later and still nothing. I'm taking it a lot harder than I thought I would.
It's taking everything I have not to say I just want to just stay home while everyone is out celebrating.
I know as soon as I get to my families house I will be handed the baby to watch while my cousins wife and my aunt finishes cooking. The last thing I want to do is be reminded once again of what I don't have.
I'm sorry for the long rambling, and especially if it doesn't make sense. You ladies are the only ones who get me, and what it's like to go through this.
My heart feels broken and I'm trying so hard to not ruin Christmas.
Why couldn't my down day wait until after the holidays?
Thank you for "listening" that's all I really needed. I know this down period will end. It just sucks it's hitting me so hard today.

Re: 1 year (just some ramblings)
I honestly thought I was going to need to avoid DH's nephew's baby at Thanksgiving for the sake of keeping myself together. But once I was there with everyone, I was okay holding her and playing with her. I was still very sad, but I love her for herself, so somehow I was okay.
I hope that's how it can be for you. And if not, just let them know you'd rather help your aunt finish cooking than watch the baby.
I hope you can enjoy the day without too much sadness.

Do you have any plans for testing coming up or moving to an RE? Sorry if you've posted abou that before, I'm a bit behind lately.
I am so sorry about the year mark...
Hopefully your BFP comes early in 2014!
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Honestly though, besides testing, I'm not sure how far we will go procedure wise. I personally don't think I want to do IUI or IVF, so if it comes down to that, it may very well just be the end of the road. (For now)

At least now I don't think I will fall apart at my family gathering!
Maybe I can get DH to take me by Starbucks on the way out to my family's :-)
