Sorting.....

I sorted the Turtles baby things today.

I felt my heart breaking as I held those tiny little outfits in my hands.

They will never again be worn by a child of mine.

I set a few of my favorite outfits and toys aside for her when she grows up.

I am having a yard sale next week to get rid of all things infant.

I just can't have them in my face, taunting me with what will never be.

I really fucking hate Infertility.

I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I wish I could say something... anything to make it better for you.

I am so, so sorry Rebel. I wish I could say or do something to make it hurt less.

Rebel, I am so sorry you are going through this.
As hard as this is, I know you you will get through it. You are an amazingly strong woman. Having said that, it is 100% okay not to be strong at this point. Whatever you do, don't bottle this all up. Grieve, cry, be angry, do what it is you do to help yourself deal with this situation. And it certainly is a most horrible situation.
You're in my thoughts.

The first time I rid my closets of XBoy's baby things, I didn't know we'd struggle. I wish I had kept a few more things. Sure, I'd probably find them and sob hysterically, but some day I would have been able to show them to him with pride. Infertility is a thief of joy, hope and pride.

I can't get rid of P's baby things or my maternity clothes. It's just too painful, even though P is turning 6 in a few months and that was the last time any of them were used by a child of mine.

Many, many hugs because I know just how intensely painful that is.

It is really sad and hard. I finally decided to start purging some baby stuff, but haven't been able to bring myself to get rid of all of it.
