Warning: VERY SAD
Girls, I'm sorry, I have to get this off my chest. Today I started back to work and I was feeling so depressed. There are several new members on my teaching team and they are all just so young and cute and skinny and I felt like such an old cow. Then there's one woman who's pregnant and of course, she's younger than me and she's due in September and I swear, I weigh more than she does eight months pregnant. And she's having a boy, of course, and she has a little girl 18 months old and didn't do a thing differently to get one of each. I just felt so stupid and depressed and hopeless about things.
And then I got this call from my grandmother. My brother and I grew up near this little boy I'll call D. His parents are the nicest people. They went to our church and they tried for years to have a baby and never could. They finally adopted D as a baby right around the time my brother was born. They're only a few months apart. They played baseball together. I remember watching them all the time. Our dads played softball together. His mom helped give my wedding shower.
D hasn't done too well in the past few years. He's 26, dropped out of college, has had drug problems. Recently he got in trouble for shooting at a house and his parents paid thousands of dollars to help him get out of the trouble. They really tried hard to raise him well and give him a good life.
I found out today that D is in jail because he was supposed to be taking care of his girlfriend's little girl, between one and two years old, and he beat her to death. I am just horrified. Just absolutely sick about this. Obviously I feel so terrible for that poor little girl and what she must have gone through and I can't stop thinking about how she was just a little younger than Lillie and what kind of person could do that to her. I can't believe the little red headed boy who used to play on the church playground and the Little League field did that. And I just feel awful for his parents, who have just washed their hands of him at this point. The police told him this was a death penalty case and he confessed everything. That poor baby had broken limbs, a broken pelvis, a head injury. I just can't imagine.
It's just sickening. That poor, poor little girl. And I thought, you know, I am thankful for any baby I can have, boy or girl or whoever, because that baby will be mine and my husband's and I will love him or her with everything I've got because there are some people out there who don't. That baby's mama knew that D had hurt that baby before and still left her with him so in my mind, she is at fault too. And I just thought, I need to be grateful for any son or daughter of mine and do everything I can to be a good mama because there is so much evil in the world. I don't know if that is an odd reaction or not but that's how I felt.
I'm sorry for being such a downer, but I need to get that out.Tiffany

So, ladies I still need help in the cm department. Talk to me about royal jelly/bee pollen. I'm also thinking about adding in vitamin E. Should I keep up the EPO?

What a great blog! I need all the help I can get with cooking. I absolutely hate dealing with food and really would be just as happy having a salad everyday with the occasional cheese pizza LOL. But I've got a DH that loves "man" food, who is Mexican, so has an entirely different palette than I do (I'm African American) and getting everyone fed and happy has been a struggle for me. Add to that a newly picky 3 year old who would like to live on PB&J and air, and it's just exhausting.
Thanks for adding me TTC5! Just a warning, I post a lot teehee.
I've only just started the diet a few days ago and I feel AMAZING! I guess I've just barely been surviving with what I eat while nursing and idk but having breakfast everyday has really jumpstarted my appetite. I can almost time it to 2 hours and I'm hungry again. I drank 2 liters of water today. The most I've ever drank in my life I imagine (except at air force field training where I had no other choice and even then, it might not have been that much, i got yelled at for not finishing enough canteens!). Granted it was lemon water and I had to add a packet stevia b/c I got carried away with the lemon haha. But tomorrow, no stevia! My milk supply is way up, I'm leaking like mad and I never believed people when they said drink more water for your milk. Apparently I just never drank enough extra to make a difference. Furthermore, I cheated already and got a Dr Pepper at the pool today, and here that sucker sits half full?!?! I drink soda like I should water and can easily finish a 20 oz in a few gulps. I actually don't even want to finish it, that is SO crazy for me! Gosh even if I don't get a son, I'm so happy I stumbled upon all of this as it's probably benefiting me in so many ways.Heather
