I’m feeling really depressed right now. I’ve been super sick with first a sore throat, then pink eye, and now an ear infection. My ear has been clogged for over a week now. I am so miserable living in our old house. (we short sold our other home due to the real estate crash in Phoenix but moved back into our rental property downtown that we lived in when we were first married.) I miss my old neighborhood and my old house with my beautiful backyard and amazing kitchen. It’s been a hard adjustment. I know I know I am probably just being a spoiled brat but I am so unhappy.
Another reason I am so depressed is everyone is having their babies now. On facebook it is like baby overload. I want it so badly. I LOVE Kayla with all my heart but I want to post pregnant belly pics like everyone else. I want that pic of me in the hospital bed with Kayla and my hubby holding the new baby I just gave birth to. I miss when K was an infant. This toddler stage is a blast and I am having so much fun but I still feel like there is a little one missing. Does that make sense? My life feels so incomplete since I haven’t carried a pregnancy to term like everyone else around me. I feel like I am missing out on so much. I had to hang out with my friend yesterday and she is 38 weeks pregnant with number 2. I’m so jealous of her belly.
Then to top it all off I was watching Desperate Housewives last night and almost the whole show was about Lynette’s baby and she was so cute and cuddly. I want that again and again and again. Maybe I’m just going through a depressed mood because October is when I lost both of the babies that had heartbeats. Maybe my body remembers that subconsciously every year and it pulls me into a tailspin of depression. I just don’t know. I feel like the only way I am going to have another baby is if I can do it through my own body because my hubby doesn’t seem to want to pursue another adoption anytime soon. I wish I could just let this go and be happy with what I have. I love my daughter as if I carried her for 9 months but I still feel like I'm missing out on a wonderful amazing experience. I love being a mommy and I am so ready for number 2.
Sorry for my downer post. I know I am blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful husband, an amazing daughter, a roof over my head and a job. I guess I just want more.
Don't apologize. We have all been there. Hang in there sweetie *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThank You so much Michelle. I hate when I have those days. I wish none of us had to go through this and experience these feelings. I want to be a normal 31 year old woman who can get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child. It just doesn't seem fair sometimes but I know there is a higher power up there that has a plan for me. I just wish I was better at accepting it.
ReplyDeleteHey Jane-
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. My throat is fine now. Just waiting for my ear infection to clear up. Hope you are well :)
