Not much going on here.. CD 17 and no sign of ovulation yet. For the past few cycles it has occurred on cd 24-26 though, so I still have time.

2 days until Christmas… I'm trying to keep it normal for our 7 year old, but honestly I would rather just skip it all this year. I had planned on celebrating the holidays with a second son this year. I was so looking forward to sharing these, what should be, joyous times with a new little person. Last year at this time I had just found out we were expecting him and I just couldn't wait for the months to pass so he could be here with us. It went by quickly, but here I am a year later with nothing much to show for it other than 10 additional pounds, a room full of baby things and a purple memory box with a few photos and footprints. A whole year, just gone.

I like to have hope that maybe next year at this time our family will have grown… but hope, for me, seems like a thing of the past. I am not sure I will ever feel that innocence again. I try to think positively and be optimistic, but it doesn't come naturally to me anymore. I find myself second guessing everything I say and do because I know nothing is for certain.
