I need to take a nest break

sara76 · February 2012

I'm sorry to see your siggy update and I totally understand. I would do it but I think there are lots of others who will be better at it than myself, I need to work on sealing the damn grout on my floors which is going to cut into my intenet time. I hope your break isn't too long!!

ETA I just showered and thought of you while in there and about how this place has not really been a safe haven for what you are going through, it's become very bumpy around here. We should probably take all the baby talk to the bump, but I wonder if there would be any activity here at all then? I just want to apologize for any/all of my AWing here. I know I felt terrible when Kathy went through her difficult time right when mine was born also. I'm just wondering if we should take it to the bump and have this a place you can still come to without having pressure of doing the check in every week? Poll?

I'm not sure about what to do. Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you Heather!

Sara, I agree. I've been thinking the same thing, but didn't want to bring it up or didn't know how to suggest it.

Thanks for thinking of me, and no worries. Most times, I really am fine, and if I'm having a bad day, I know which posts I should avoid opening. I don't think it's necessary to move posts to another board. Heck this board is slow as is - I think it would die

Honestly, when I took over the check-in from Vanessa, almost two years ago, we'd been trying a couple months and I really thought I'd be pg any day.

Yesterday I found out that even though I'd been doing injections for 3 1/2 weeks, my body reacted differently then it did five months ago, and I was being cancelled. Unfortunately this probably means a six month delay due to some required travel for work, which gets us the insurance to pay for all of this.

I'm going to try and work with my boss to move things around, so hopefully we can try again sooner, but I'm trying to be realistic. I know that my consciously posting a check-out there, that I have to read through to update the following week, is probably something I should stop doing - to preserve my own sanity.

Aegis, totally understandable.
If no one else volunteers, I'll take this over for you. Although, I think this job is better suited for a mom with a baby(ies) already on the outside.
Personally, I know I won't breathe a sigh of relief until I'm holding this little guy in my arms. But, if you need me to, I'll do it.

I'll take it over if no one else is interested, but I'll forewarn that I can be forgetful so there may be weeks when I slip and post on Wednesday because I forgot on Tuesday. ;-)

Sounds good to me.

Oh no! I would hate the idea of people walking on eggshells because of everything that happened. While yes, somedays I just avoid the nest altogether because I know I am feeling a little blue, it is all me and no one should feel bad about AWing their baby/pregnancy. You DESERVE to be happy and share your excitement! So no way, don't talk all the baby chatter to the bump!

But thanks for being considerate I tell you, since this all happened, I have been reminded how kind and thoughtful people can be. Thanks for being one of them

So sorry to hear this Heather I remember a quote you posted the other day on Pinterest that said "The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on for so long." This quote has really rang true for me lately. Sometimes I think about everything that has happened over the last two years, all at once, and it's overwhelming. Like, I have uncontrollable tears. But I remind myself that it's not about me. It's not about how sad I am or how bad I think I have it. It's about expanding out family. I would do ANYTHING to make that happen and in the end, the prize will be worth all the heartache.

Hopefully you can reschedule your FET sooner rather than later. I have my fingers crossed for you that soon you will be announcing your BFP and all this heartache will soon be a distant memory.

Take it easy and treat yourself to some special care, like a Spa day or a massage. You deserve to a break from all your stresses and time to just relax
