I wrote a song!

The last year has been the hardest of my life. A few months ago I was in my car with the radio on the country station (don’t judge). Every song that came on was either about beer, whiskey, or trucks. As I was tapping my hand to the fun, lively beats I was thinking to myself, “damn, wouldn’t it be nice if my life was like one of these country songs and my only problem was that my beer wasn’t cold?” And then I laughed to myself because, well, life’s never that easy, but also because I don’t even drink.

That car ride turned into this song. I hope some of you can relate to it as you tap your hand along to the beat.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me bring this to life over the last six months!

This has been my sentiment over the last several weeks. I’m tired. I’m over the lessons in strength and resilience. I’m done with this chapter of my story.

When is it my turn?

Today is the one year anniversary of the worst day of my life.

Writing music is always healing for me. I imagine anyone who’s experienced pregnancy or infant loss will be able to relate to this song - I hope you find some sense of comfort in it.

*Sorry bout the last note 😬 I’m not a musician - just a grieving mama

I am so disturbed by what is happening in the Supreme Court.

The ultimate act of love is terminating a pregnancy to shield your child from pain.

Every single minute, 44 families are getting the worst, most devastating, most heartbreaking news. 💔

Every single minute, 44 due dates and birthdays are becoming harsh reminders instead of joyous celebrations. 📆

Every single minute, 44 nurseries are reverting back to spare bedrooms. 🛏

Every single minute, 44 mothers and fathers begin their lifelong journey of grief. 😔

Every single minute, 44 heartbeats stop. 💔

With 44 pregnancy losses happening every minute, we shouldn’t feel so alone when it happens to us. But we aren’t talking about it enough, so we do.

This week is National Infertility Awareness week. Just during this week alone, there will be an estimated 443,520 pregnancy losses.

Those of us struggling with infertility are dealing with the repercussions of grief and loss every single minute, not just one week a year.

If you know someone dealing with infertility, make sure to check in with them this week. Just a small text to let them know you’re thinking of them will go a long way. 💕

To my fellow loss mamas, I’m with you this week and every day. 💜

I had a mental breakdown on Monday. 💔

This is my family. Piled together in a cuddly blob after being let down yet again. Infertility doesn’t give you a break from grief and heartache.

We’ve been waiting for my body to regulate to start our next round of IVF. My cycle was delayed because of my miscarriage. I was so frustrated, waiting every day to get started. Finally on Monday I called the doctor with my day 1 - I was relieved and ready as ever.

We then found out that we have to delay our next IVF cycle a month because their labs are undergoing maintenance. When you’re dealing with infertility, every day feels like a lifetime. An entire month feels like an eternity. I was finally ready to start my next round, only to be told I have to put my life on hold. It’s been 3 years of waiting with 2 gut-punch losses. I’m tired of waiting.

This picture was taken minutes after I finished sobbing in defeat and frustration. My husband has to deal with navigating his own emotions whilst playing caretaker and supporter for me. My 15-year-old dog, Sophie, plays her part of snuggly protector and healer well. I am grateful for the amount of love I feel every day, but especially on the hardest days.

Infertility is real and raw. Infertility is the unknown and the unexpected. Infertility is unfair and unyielding.

One day this will all be worth it. But asking “when” is getting exhausting. 😔
