Date: 3rd August 2024
Just as the title says - I'm pressing pause. There wasn't much of a discussion about whether we should continue trying or not. I simply asked Kevin if he's okay with us not trying for the rest of the year, and he agreed.
The sad part is, as we approached a year and six months of trying, we agreed that we would check in with the specialists. We explored our options, decided on a first step and then there was that month that broke me. Since then I haven't had the mental and emotional bandwidth to continue on.
The last few weeks have been incredibly tough on the both of us as individuals and as a married couple. Sometimes there's no right or wrong answer. Sometimes you have to do what's best for you. Right now, what's best for me is taking care of myself so that when we do welcome our child into our home, we will be the best parents, in the best of health for our newest addition to our family.
If you feel need the need to pause, to step back, to scream out all the frustration - please do it. No one truly knows what you are going through besides you. Don't feel guilty for doing what you need to do, to make yourself feel better.
For those of you who are trying to conceive and you are reading this, I'm sending some baby dust your way. Hopefully very soon, you'll be holding your bundle of joy ❤️.
