I love it. I love my husband and my baby boy who is so sweet to his mama. I love the hugs, the kisses, the trains and the giggles. But right now, I'm struggling. I'm guilt stricken for even feeling the way I do but my heart hurts. I've spent the evening looking at scenes from Canyon's early days. My heart is so full of gratitude for the cute little man I have and those sweet moments, but it aches for the other littles ones I long for and I can't help but wonder what I've done wrong. I'm far from a perfect mother but I love that little man more than life itself.
I'm sorry for the depressing post. I guess things just don't go as planned and learning to love the way it turns out is part of the journey. Having a good attitude is easy 98% of the time, but the other 2% is so so hard. I wish I knew how it was going to turn out, prepare myself. I wish it was simple. But it's not. And there's no use complaining or crying about it. I just need to push through and enjoy all the blessings I have, because I have a heck of a lot of them.
Thanks for stinking around and for the support. I need every last drop of hope I can get. And I'm officially banning myself from looking at baby pictures at midnight....

I'm sure anyone else would have something super inspiring to say, but being depressed is depressing. Seriously though - I get so irritated when I can't make myself be optimistic and cheerful! Give yourself a break girl. This has been a long, hard road and it's bound to get frustrating and discouraging at some points along the way. Some might say to buck up, but I prefer to let myself sit in the sadness for a few days and then emerge with a renewed determination to be trusting and have a positive outlook. It'll pass. :) Love you!
Give it time. Love Canyon to pieces and when another one comes around he'll be super excited too. (: You don't have to hide that 2% by the way, we all have times when we just wish we had a listening ear.
Love you girl! I won't tell you to buck up and be happy. I know you know all of the things you can do or should do or whatever. That 2% of the time, let yourself feel what you feel. It's certainly a worthy wonderful desire you have ,so I say, it's ok to be sad about it sometimes because you are such a grateful person the rest of the time!! :) I can't wait for your dream to come true! We'll be praying for you!
