Although Mr SC and I already decided on birth control (and he's likely having a vasectomy in the next few months), packing up the clothes makes me sad. We are both so incredibly thankful for Baby A but yet it still makes us sad that the decision about not trying again has pretty much been made for us. We can't go through TTC and the fear of miscarrying again. We both know this deep in our hearts. Still, it tore me apart to hear Mr SC admit that he wishes that we could have "a houseful of kids running around". I hate that I can't give that to him.
I know this decision is what's best for us and our family. My head knows that. My heart just can't help but be a little sad today.
Holding you in my heart today. Sometimes, making the "right" decision is the hardest decision. You know what is best for you and Mr. SC, I don't doubt that.
ReplyDeleteI also know that it's hard to change the dream you've held for so long.
Thinking of you and your beautiful family today.
Much love,
Jo
(*hugs*) I know it's hard. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I both want one more...but the obstacles we face are so incredibly daunting. The logical side says, be thankful for what we have. The rest says, give me more!! I really so understand. BIG HUGS
ReplyDeleteSorry today is a sad day for you. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteMany ((hugs)) sweetie. I know this must be incredibly hard to do.
ReplyDeletehuge hugs, kelly.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be so hard. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like my maternity wardrobe better than my regular wardrobe - I have found many more things that flatter my body in the maternity store than I ever did prior to now. Part of it is giving myself permission to buy clothes and spend money on maternity clothes, when I never really would allow myself to buy clothes when I was trying to lose weight, when I wasn't happy with my body, and when going in the dressing room was a traumatic experience, when now I'm finally embracing my body. Lessons learned for our future selves...
Sending you a hug, I wish this could be easier for you.
(((Hugs))). Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteJust read up your last few posts.
ReplyDeleteI hope Miss A is doing so fine.
I took out most of my maternity clothes (had packed them and stored them in a suitcase) to wear in City X, and there is a tiny lot still stashed away in UsualCity for hubby to bring later. But getting them washed and ironed and keeping them away had been very painful for me. And I wasn't as mad happy taking them out as I had when I had initially purchased them.
What you have decided is a hard choice, but given that both of you are ready and agreeing on it is a tiny bit of solace. I still feel though, that it must be very difficult to make such a choice.
Take Care and be good.
I'm sure this has been a really hard decision for you. I wish it wasn't so hard, but I'm beyond words happy for you that you have your daughter in your life. I also meant to tell you that I think the planting of the trees for your angels is also a wonderful idea. On a silver-lining note I hope you can get lots of money from consignment of your cute maternity clothes!
ReplyDeleteYour feelings are completely understandable.
ReplyDeleteHugs hugs. I'm thinking of you.
This is an incredibly hard decision to make. Sending much love your ways.
ReplyDeletesorry you've had to make this decision but understand why. go and hug your daughter and let her love heal your heart a little.
ReplyDelete~x~
I'm so sorry. What a rough day. IF is unfair.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kelly. Nothing about this is easy.
ReplyDelete(((Hugs))) Hugs, hugs, hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat is a hard and painful decision...you are definitely entitled to feel sad about it. Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kelly. It's such a hard decision. And I would have found that packing up very difficult too.
