So Carie, How Are You?

We had our 'follow up' doctor's appointment this morning... and it went pretty good.

The appointment began with a little 'catch up' on all that has happened the past two weeks. We shared most of the physical ups and downs... when the leaking started... when the leaking stopped... what are the hormones doing now... am I still really tired... any cramping...etc. We can try again asap. The doctor is not concerned or worried about us getting pregnant again...It was easy to talk matter-of-factly about all of the miscarriage details and drama.

Then it came.

"So... how are you really doing Carie... and I mean emotionally...."

yeah... and the flood gates opened... it's like the hardest question to answer-- EVER!

It's a lie to say 'great' and it's a lie to say 'terrible' ... I'm somewhere in middle land... I'm taking things one day at a time... and these days most of that 'time' has been spent on school stuff.

I've been trying to finish my Masters through Cardinal Stritch University... and after about 17 months... I'm almost there! I graduate May 21st at the Cellular Arena in Milwaukee (hint, hint and I'm sure they'll be some kind of brunch or bloody mary to follow!)... I'm still trudging my way a little through the thesis/ action research...but one way or another some type of 100 page paper will be turned in by then with my name on it... keep your fingers crossed!
