Forget the fact that they are REALLY irregular and you never know where to get them and that you need a PhD in urban planning to figure out the MTA bus map. I like sitting and watching the cityscape go by, connecting the dots between the subway stops (ohhh THAT's where the Brooklyn Navy Yard is...). When I lived in Paris a few years ago, I used to regularly arrive 45 min- an hour late when meeting up with my friend Maddy. She would text me - "Jen, I've been looking at the Seine for an hour. Are you in a bus??" She always knew. But Paris is too pretty to see it underground. :) Ok, so I too am a little obsessed with buses.

I am so sorry that your due date has come and gone..mine will be here shortly and I it will be sad:( I really thought I would be pregnant but I am not...and I won't be when the time comes so that is hard. Someday, this time in our lives will seem like a distant memory...I hope that happens sooner than later... Being in the hospital must’ve been so tough for multiple reasons.

Life is definitely a biotch sometimes. You handle her well. Some tough days for sure.

Sending you virtual hugs.

When I had a miscarriage 5 years ago at 12 weeks I remember thinking ahead to my due date, seeing pregnant women, seeing new babies and thinking how that should have been me. No one thinks about how the little things just remind you here and there of how there was supposed to be a new little person with you now. I don't think it is supposed to be depressing, in a way it is comforting to think about because as much as it hurts to know you will never hold them, not thinking about it makes it seem as though they never existed at all, which would be worse really. Though your baby never went to full-term it has changed you and effected your life in some way, which speaks to how they were real, if only for a little while. Sorry....a little deeper than I intended to go, but that's how I felt and still feel 5 years later. Beautiful post, and again so honest. Thank-you:) You are so genuine and honest and it is so refreshing.

A street-eye view of Manhattan without the hassle of the subway (which I took, too, but I preferred the bus). I miss NY so much, the bus makes me nostalgic. Ugh. Got to do something about that.

It wasn't bad at all. Overall, it was a great day, but you might not get that impression from the post above. I have half a mind to take this one down. Who knows. I might once I get TWM up and running. :] I had a great time seeing S. yesterday. I don't feel right about discussing her situation too much on here. So I made this ALL about me. I'm such a blogger! Anyway, sorry for coming off as a bummer yet again. Things are going well overall. I should probably write about all that instead. ;] How is it that this post ended up seeming so damn sad?

It breaks my heart to read these posts and I feel for you. Believe it or not, you're doing great. You're going to be fine. Life goes on, and if you can find the time to laugh at it every now and then, you're making your trip more worthwhile. You’re so very brave for opening up like this.
