Freak Of Nature


That's what I feel like.


A freak of nature.
Just found out the 74,017 girl I know is pregnant.  I mean I am talking people who aren't even trying, some who I didn't even know had a man. Life is beautiful no matter who is carrying it don't get me wrong but I can't help feel like a FREAK OF NATURE.
My heart sank and tears welled in my eyes when I learned another friend was pregnant.  I PUSHED forth a happy "Awww OMGEE!" when my husband told me but I could see it even pained him to see me find out.  (He's known for a couple weeks and anticipated this)
Number 74,017.  Meanwhile I am a FREAK.OF.NATURE.

This could go two ways....
Route 1: Ask ten million questions that soon turn to disgust and anguish and ANGER.  Then go cry alone in the bathroom and carry on the rest of the day heavy hearted.
Route 2: Embrace my "freak of nature" rareness.  Make myself feel special and rare like clearly I was.

ROUTE 2

Aurora-a luminous phenomenon that consists of streamers or arches of light appearing in the upper atmosphere of a planet's magnetic polar regions and is caused by the emission of light from atoms excited by electrons accelerated along the planet's magnetic field lines.

 
Palos Verdes Blue-is a small endangered butterfly native to the Palos Verdes Peninsula in southwest Los Angeles County, California, United States. As its distribution has been proven to be limited to one single site it has one of the best claims to being the world's rarest butterfly.
White Tiger- The white Bengal tiger’s stripes are like fingerprints, with no two tigers having the same pattern. For a white Bengal tiger to be born, both parents must carry the unusual gene for white colouring, which only happens naturally about once in 10,000 births.
 

I'm okay now. I'm so happy for all of those blessed women and men who have more than a 5% chance of conceiving naturally.  In fact, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes and a genuine smile on my face thinking of the joy those 74,017 women are feeling.  So next time I hope I will be the first to know about someone's bundle of joy forming!

Love, The Freak of Nature <3

    I cried when my twin sister told me she was having her third baby. Even though I got my diagnosis of POI right after my second boy. We we were trying to have a third child when I got my diagnosis. I felt so broken. Don't get me wrong I am so blessed two be able to have two boys before sickness. But I still felt a sense of lost. Thanks for your blog. It is very encouraging. We tought of adoption too, my husband dad is adopted, but I have being so sick with these symptoms, that I can only take care of these two little guys. I will be praying for your journey with this horrible desease.

      That's one of the HARDEST thing I've found with this whole diagnosis...finding happiness through all the hurt. It's got nothing to do with THEM but all to do with what is going on with US. Adopting is truly something that we prayed about and just feel has been placed on our hearts! I hope you find relief from these symptoms! I'm gonna write a blog next week telling what has helped me so stay tuned!

    Hugs. You're brave. It helps SOOOO much to meet in person other people who are farther down the POI/POF road. Do you have that opportunity? POF consumed my life 12 years ago. But today, I'm lucky if I remember it twice a year! I have 2 wonderful kids and a full life. Hugs and well wishes to you and all those in the early years of this diagnosis.

      I don't have that oppurtunity yet! But can't wait to do so! I'm apart of groups and that has already been so motivational! Moving on can be so much harder than you expect, but not hard enough to overcome! Can't wait to get as far as you have! XOXO

In my heart

That's where you are growing. You're in my heart with every pump that gives me life. You're in my dreams every time I doze off into a deep sleep. You're in my thoughts when I look at my empty hands and think how I'll get to hold yours. You're in my words when I talk to anyone about my future, hopes, and plans. You're the reason I was created.  Every fiber of me was made for you .  To be your Mom and for you to be mine .   I smile already thinking of how this world will touch you, and I feel so special knowing it is me that has been chosen to watch this happiness. I vow to celebrate the sunshine of your life everyday.  Whether that comes in sunny days, school grades, or celebrations. I am joyful because of you. I laugh already thinking of how silly you will be, and I feel so joyful knowing it is me that has been chosen to enjoy life with you.  I vow to laugh until we cry all the time.  Whether that comes in funny jokes, my goofiness, or your d

Refuge

This blog has been my place of refuge. My place where I can break down yet still feel taller than the skyscrapers. My place where I can be angry with the world, yet find peace. My place where I can yell at the top of my lungs for the world to hear, yet whisper things I only want myself to know. It’s the place where I’ve always been, 100% TRUE TO MYSELF. What’s being true to myself even mean though? It’s funny how life TRULY works. We all get so caught up (I’m GUILTY AS CHARGED) in our lives “plan” . We’ve got dream boards everywhere . We compare ourselves to our friend’s lives . We try to measure up to what our parents told us we should be. We find that quote on Pinterest and live roughly 7 hours positively till we see that person on Insta who’s killing the game of life . We remember all the peoples “well wishes” or “congratulations” when we hit milestones . We push ourselves forward with the condolences from loved ones during the rough patches . We get angry and entit

Words can't express how grateful, excited, and emotional we were getting these done by such a great friend. She poured her heart in soul in all our photos, and it showed! At one point she said "Ok let's get momma over here in front of the chair..." and for the first time ever I got excited hearing that word MOMMA . We are gonna be parents one day. Momma and Dadda . The best kind of journey takes you HOME.
