An Outsider

I feel like an outsider.

It's been more than a month since my last post, and I can't believe it.

I'm a bad blogger......

Ok, now that I've gotten that off my chest, I really do need to apologize for being a bad blogger.  And a bad blog reader.  Like I said, my last post was more then a month ago.  I was a total ICLW failure.  Lots of people stopped by to say hi during ICLW week, but of course I did not comment nor read any blogs that week.  At all.

I feel like a traitor.  Now that I started my job (more than a month ago), I have been too busy and tired to read or update my blog.  And to be honest, work have kept my mind off of TTC.  Except of course those days where AF shows up.  Or I read pregnancy announcements on Face.book.  Or when we celebrated our niece's first birthday.

But all in all, not thinking about TTC have been good for me, and that's where the feeling like a traitor comes in.  I feel like I have abandoned the TTC community, but I have not!  I also realize that I really miss reading blogs.  And I do miss blogging.  But sometimes, it's also frustrating because I don't really have anything TTC related to update.

I'm also worried to that if start reading blogs again, I'll hear about positive pregnancies and baby updates.  I'm terrified that I will be jealous.  Of course we all hope that those in the TTC community eventually get their dreams of having a baby.  Yet, jealousy is always looming at my doorstep.

So, I guess this is just my way of saying "Hi", that I am still around, and that I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I hope that you will still continue to read my infrequent postings.

And that I still have Baby On Mind.

  1. If you're able to get your mind off of TTC (other than when you have those unavoidable reminders) then ENJOY and don't feel bad about not blogging or not reading. You've been a great support to many people and now is a time to just focus on you and finding things you can enjoy right now. I'm sure you will find a path that can make that baby a reality. When it's time for that fight, you'll be back with lots of people rooting for you!

  4. I'm new to your blog (really can't remember where I found you...probably through another IF blog), and wanted to say Hi. I understand falling away from the blogosphere occasionally. I have done it myself. Sometimes we have to to protect ourselves. I fight the demon of jealousy too, and sometimes it's just too hard to bear. I've had to unfollow a couple of blogs when my jealousy got overwhelming, but the times when I feel like myself again, I can check back in and start reading again. I think that's normal.
    I'll be keeping you in my prayers as you get back in the swing of things. :)

  6. Hey girl! You're not an outsider or a traitor! Believe it or not, God has things for us outside the realm of TTC or treatments... and that's actually a good thing! We're more than infertile. We're women of God. Continued prayers for you and the "Babe" ;-)

  9. I don't have any good, respectable reason to have almost 700 blog posts to catch up on Google reader other than it's just hard sometimes to live (and relive) through all the deep emotions of others at the same time you are wading through your own.....we get it and still are glad you are doing ok and praying for you!

  11. I can relate to feeling "jealous". So many of the girls on our FB support group are expecting and posting pics with baby bumps...I so wish it was me. It helps to know that I'm not alone in this!
