I'm completely chicken shit thus far about posting anything that says "hey, I'm infertile, bitches" and am in TOTAL awe of the women who have done that.. Mostly because I think the appropriate response will be some sort of sympathy and I am SO messed up about that that it will cause me to short circuit. I figure I'd say something vague, just about all the kinds of Mothers and then if someone put two and two together, so be it.

It should be some kind of touchstone for all future movies that ever have any moment that reflects on infertility. Like, "Do this. Only this. And don't fuck it up." Also, hire Meryl Fucking Streep, Y'all (obvy).<br /><br />For some reason I never found Mother's Day difficult because the concept of myself being a mother is still so foreign to me -- it's only ever been about my own mother, who I have a great relationship with. But also, my husband lost his mother 10 years ago and my good friend is estranged from hers, so I'm just SO aware of how difficult this day is for SO many people, I almost just turn my focus to them instead. But I also wonder how our hubbies feel on Father's Day when they think about how long it's taking them to become a dad themselves... surely it sucks almost as much for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470508210648484887.post-34039639532415457142013-05-14T08:37:22.845-07:002013-05-14T08:37:22.845-07:00Mother's Day is weird for everyone, even the p...Mother's Day is weird for everyone, even the pregnant infertile. I remember last year I was just a couple weeks pregnant, and my mom and mother in law wanted to get me something....I put my foot down. Maybe I knew deep down that that pregnancy was not going to work, since we lost him at 9 weeks. But even this year being 32 weeks pregnant on Mother's Day I couldn't celebrate it,l was way too afraid. It's so painful....my husband scolded me because I was sick of all the Mother's Day crap on Facebook. It bothered me so much. Like I said that pain never goes away. I'm so glad you had that cry, they are so much needed. I think so many of us don't really allow ourselves to actually embrace all the pain we are feeling through infertility, and bury it. But man when it comes out...it comes out. I hope you have a few more of them, because they are so good for the soul.<br />I love that painting. It's so haunting in a beautiful way. I had no idea she struggled with infertility. But what a beautiful way to get her feeling across. <br />I want to be your Facebook buddy!!!!

This weekend I was watching Sweet Home Alabama of all movies, and there it was, this 5-minute scene where they talk about the baby that never was, and how it might have changed their relationship if the baby would've survived, and how Reese was happy it didn't because then she wouldn't have gone to NYC and become this famous designer, etc... BITCH! I was looking for an escape watching this movie, NOT a reminder! sigh...I guess this is our life as infertiles - constant reminders of what we can't have.Moondancerjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980836022555357519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470508210648484887.post-58054039715462084662013-05-14T06:42:35.475-07:002013-05-14T06:42:35.475-07:00Downton Abbey is awesome.

The day is over now and I hope that next year it will be a different story for you.<br />And your mother's day FB post was awesome. I was going to post something similar when it was UK mother's day but i lost my nerve. Go you! I can't believe I haven't filled my facebook with infertiles before this past weekend!! So much better!<br />As for Frida, I was actually studying Spanish at University when I was diagnosed. The semester after I found out about MRKH I studied central and south american history of art as a module, Frida being one of the most prominent in the curriculum, and the one that stuck in my mind. Ever since I have loved and wept over her work as so much of it reflected my own experiences of disappointment in my body for its complete failure to do what should be natural, if slightly different contexts. She is awesome, and that picture you have here, makes me cry every time i see it.<br />Smooches to you my dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470508210648484887.post-37656501218840536762013-05-14T06:32:47.174-07:002013-05-14T06:32:47.174-07:00Love this post.

I play superwoman all the time that when I finally break down or realize that hey, I'm not REALLY superwoman, no one understands. It's always the "you handle things so well" or "if anyone can do it, you can" or "you'll get through this because you're you." Ok...well can I not be me for a little bit then? Can someone just let me not be strong? I don't think Sparks knows how to handle me when I'm not strong. <br /><br />Anyways...love your blog :)JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918024171163030406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470508210648484887.post-54670516863889712552013-05-14T05:40:53.278-07:002013-05-14T05:40:53.278-07:00Agree with Emily...book!
