Easter 2012

Avery had a lot of fun this year for Easter. Saturday we took her to an egg hunt at the local fairgrounds. Although she was a little confused at first, she caught on and loved it! She grabbed all of the candy and no eggs (smart girl!).

 Then, we went to Grandma and Papa's to color eggs. She really enjoyed it and her favorite part was shaking the eggs in glitter.

  

On Easter Sunday we went to church and then to my parent's house.

 She got an Easter basket from Grandma and Papa

 and Mommy and Daddy.

 I think her most FAVORITE part of Easter though, was the chocolate! That girl knows how to eat a chocolate bunny!

Down Days

I've been feeling pretty down these past few days. I think about the miscarriage EVERY day, but sometimes it just hits me hard. I've just been feeling a little depressed and crying on and off. It doesn't help that almost every time I log onto Facebook there is a new pregnancy announcement. Then I start thinking "that's not fair" "that person doesn't deserve it as much as me" and I have to stop myself. Those thoughts are destructive and don't do any good. God is the only one that can make those judgments.

I'm 5 weeks past the d&c and still waiting for AF to show up. The waiting is terrible! My doctor said to wait 3 months to ttc because the risk of another miscarriage is higher right afterwards. I'm not sure that's entirely true. I'm hearing of other people trying right after they get their first cycle back, though. Also, I'm seeing people getting pregnant the cycle right after their miscarriage and everything turns out perfectly. Can anyone give me any advice about that? I really don't want to wait 3 months, but the thought of another miscarriage is just UNBEARABLE.

I'm so thankful that I have this little girl to make me smile!
