Where there is pregnancy there has got to be a ton of hope :). After the news of miscarriage 2 I was determined to be ok and not let this define who I am.

A few weeks ago, I had someone find my blog by searching for 'bitter miscarriage". To me, this was just an awful thing to read. I didn't think of myself as bitter, but I guess I really was. I found for me, that I really had to focus on something else. As much as I wanted to focus on getting pregnant, it was making me miserable. Because all I saw was the pregnant women who surrounded me and how easy it was for them. Then I started thinking about how it may never happen for me. It's a vicious cycle. In the long run focusing on loosing weight, and my household, seemed to help best. I realize that may not work for everyone, but sometimes it helps to step back and re-evaluate life.
