I am so very sorry. I have had 3 miscarriages, and they are the most heartbreaking moments I've ever dealt with. :hugs:

No words can express, Paula. I am so very very sorry. I thought you were out of the woods. All your pg symptoms seemed so strong...

My heart is breaking for you.

I just found your TR through another TR and I read the whole thing, going through such a range of emotions. I can't believe your last post. So so sorry to hear that news.

Thanks everyone! It came as a shock to us, because we had three losses in 09-10, and we thought they had all the hormone issues figured out. It looks like the regiment I was on worked (which is why my body didn't miscarry and I had to have the D and C. So, I guess that it good. The Dr. really thinks that it had something to do with how the baby developed and that it was nothing that I did. Good news, to a certain extent, I guess.

At this point we are both just exhausted. To the point that I am starting to question why I even wanted a baby in the first place. Seriously, I had friends come over to make bread the other day, and all they talked about was how hard everything is. Really? You are standing in my kitchen complaining, while I am home from work because I just had a miscarriage? Really? I am sure I will be fine by the time we can start trying again.

I can't help but plan, though. We aren't planning on going back to the fertility clinic. I can't spend the next few months feeling like a human science experiment, so we will just try to get lucky the old fashioned way for the next few months (once we can start trying again). Anyway, we are planning everything around this trip in 2013. Either I will have a 3-6 month old baby OR I will be in my second trimester, or I still won't be pregnant or have a baby. I will not cancel this trip!

The good news is that with a few extra months at work, we will probably buy into DVC! We plan to buy a resale and savings wise, we are about halfway there. It's a crappy consolation prize to be sure, but it will make for a nice 10 year anniversary gift.

Day 2: Part 1—Breakfast and the Mad Dash

When I last left you hanging, we finished our dinner at CRT and headed back to the hotel for a good night’s sleep. We were headed to DHS the next day!

We woke up bright and early the next day for an ADR at Kouzzina. I love breakfast here. Granted, I have only ordered the waffles, but still. It is traditional for us to go to Kouzzina on the day we do DHS. We take a bus to DHS and take a walk over to the Boardwalk. It takes about 15 minutes, but it gets the blood pumping and it is a nice stroll.

We are on our way!

See? It is such a lovely walk.

We made a new friend on our way.

About 15 minutes later, we arrived at Kouzzina!

The girls were a bit tired after our travel day.

Chloe was pretty happy, though.

Until we got to our table, that is. I think she was getting “hangry”—so hungry that she became hangry. Hangry became our word for the trip. Whenever anyone was cranky, we would ask if they were hangry. Or, we would tell each other that we were getting “hangry,” so we needed to stop for a snack.

One of the girls had the Mickey Waffles. I think whoever had them liked them.

The other girl had French toast. So yummy!

As far as the adults were concerned. Two of us had the waffles and the other two got the blueberry orange pancake. We shared entrees.

Unfortunately, we forgot to order the chicken sausage, which makes me sad. Maybe next time! I think that it is pretty good!

All of the adults enjoyed their food as well. We settled the check and caught the boat to DHS!

Carol LOVED the pink trees. Pink is her favorite color—she has tons of it throughout her house. We need to figure out what kind of tree this is so she can plant one in the future!

The mad dash to the entrance began. We didn’t make rope drop—we probably arrived a few minutes after they opened.

We made it to Toy Story Mania, grabbed FastPasses and got in line. The line was already out the door, or else I wouldn’t have had time to snap these pictures… either that or I took them while waiting for FPs.

The girls LOVED the TSM queue. They wanted pictures with everything! Here are some of my favorites. Seriously—we have about 50 of these. =)

How long did we wait for TSM? Would we reach Mr. Potatohead before our camera’s memory cards ran out of space? Stay tuned to find out!

Sometimes, people just don't know how they should act. I can't imagine they mean to sound/act clueless... but in times of loss it especially seems to trigger the clueless. I think any of us who have experienced any loss can attest to that. For me, I was out to lunch with friends and in the middle of miscarrying (my numbers were going down and it was just a matter of waiting) I didn't feel great... a friend happened to be pregnant (not too far along) and when her young child started to run amuck... she wanted me to climb the flight of stairs after him to retrieve him. Reason... she didn't feel up to it since she was pregnant and she couldnt ask the other gal since she had her own child to tend to.

It does sound like you are moving in some postive direction. DVC? And a for sure trip? I agree... crappy consolation... but at least it is something.

Breakfast looks super yummy...

And that pink tree?! I agree, it is beautiful!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family has my deepest sympathies, and I'll remember you in my prayers.

 

[Darragh]

I've read through your report, rejoiced with you at the news of your pregnancy, laughed at your stories and then mourned with you when you miscarried. I'm so sorry. I want to stay on board with your Report and see how you life goes. You've got me involved now.

 

[Alysa]

You are standing in my kitchen complaining, while I am home from work because I just had a miscarriage? Really?

Has every woman who has ever had a miscarriage had a well meaning "friend" who acted like a moron with them?

You will love DVC! I wish we had been smart enough to do resale but we've still loved every minute! Where are you hoping to buy?

Be good and kind to yourself.

 

[JennisSilly]

My deepest condolences are with you and your family, and I am so sorry for your loss.

Sending lots of prayers your way!

 

[BMC423]

I'm so sorry to hear this news. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I have a really close friend that had a really rough time with IVF so I know what you mean about needing a break from feeling like science experiment. It does take a toll on you. Knowing that the hormones were working is good news its a piece of the puzzle that you have figured out. Sending you guys lots of good vibes

 

[tofubeast]

As others, I am also sorry to hear about your loss. Hopeful you will hear good news in the near future when you are ready.

I just want to say that I feel some comfort knowing there is someone out there in a similar situation as me. I have been having fertility issues as well, I have been on different drugs for over a year now and just keeping on hoping and trying.

We are planning a trip for February 2013 to Disney World, my first with my husband but it'll be I think my 14th trip, I haven't been back since 2007. I am super excited but part of me hopes I have to cancel because of getting pregnant, I don't think I'd want to go to Disney at 8 months pregnant if lets say it happened this month, but then again who knows.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss though, but you're not alone in this struggle.
