This song is all kinds of heartbreaking. It reminds me to be grateful for the time I had with my baby. It's more religious/spiritual, but I just love the message.
"I Will Carry You (Audrey's Son)" Selah
There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?
People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this
So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you
Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
To carry you

Song Lyrics for Loss: Slipped Away
This one keeps the lyrics pretty simple, but the melody really make it for me. There's a frantic disbelief to it that I relate to and it really represents the fleetingness the whole experience had.
"Slipped Away" Avril Lavigne
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oh
I hope you can hear me
'Cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oh...
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you
"Slipped Away" Avril Lavigne
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oh
I hope you can hear me
'Cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Oh
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oh...
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you

Song Lyrics for Loss: Beam Me Up
I'm still here. Life is going on. I still think about my loss every day. It's not taking over my life, and most of the time I think about it without getting terribly upset. Its in the quiet moments alone in the car or in bed at night that I think about it. I'm still reminded any time I do something I couldn't do while I was pregnant. I was so glad to turn the page on my calendar today at work, to a page that didn't have doctor's appointments scratched out on it. I'm taking it a day at a time, trying to find things that help when I need to think about it.
For example, I love music. I find it very healing. So it should surprise no one that I went looking for songs to put into words some of what I've been feeling. I thought I'd do a little series of some of the song that brought me comfort. The title should link to the page I got the lyrics from, and you can play the song there I think, or they are on YouTube. If there are any I should check out, please leave them in the comments.
"Beam Me Up" Pink
There's a whole 'nother conversation going on
In a parallel universe.
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts.
There's a waltz playin' frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're lookin' at me.
Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think a minute's enough,
Just beam me up.
Saw a blackbird soarin' in the sky,
Barely a breath I caught one last sight
Tell me that was you sayin' goodbye,
There are times I feel the shiver and cold,
It only happens when I'm on my own,
That's how you tell me I'm not alone
Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think a minute's enough,
Just beam me up.
In my head I see your baby blues
I hear your voice and I, I break in two and now there's
One of me, with you
So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine
Just beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minute's enough,
Beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up
Could you beam me up.
I'm totally obsessed with this song. For sure, what wouldn't I give to have a minute to see my baby? So pretty and sad. Although I have to disagree, I don't think a minute would be enough for me.

In the know
That title came to me randomly and I'm not confidant that it will become relevant as I write, but I like it and so that's that. Basically, it fit my stream of consciousness/update type blog for today!
BULLET POINTS! you know I love them....along with ellipses! I have also noticed that I use a lot of exclamation points. Anyway.
Now you are in the know! LOL
BULLET POINTS! you know I love them....along with ellipses! I have also noticed that I use a lot of exclamation points. Anyway.
- Current obsession: The Glee Project. It's a reality show on Oxygen that is a competition to win a role on the show GLEE, which I love. The kids on there are fantastic and I could actually see them all as a new Glee cast. They are all extremely talented and although a few of them get on my nerves, they are also mostly completely endearing. The songs are great!
- Still on the TTC train, no news there...waiting to ovulated...CD 20 :-P hopefully tomorrow...I've never gotten a positive OPK later than CD 21.
- Took Tyler to the GI specialist today. They want to try a different medication for his constipation...hopefully it helps!
- I see my Reproductive Endocrinologist NEXT WEEK! I can't wait, I really hope it goes well.
- I've been watching a new series called Switched at Birth. There is a deaf character on the show and it has totally reawakened my desire to learn sign language. On the Bucket List it goes!
- It is REALLY HOT here right now. Like HOT . Like 115 degrees with the heat index. UGH.
- I've been slacking on my diet. I haven't really gained anything back, but I haven't lost in weeks. Bad girl :( I need to get back to workouts
- I'm out of bullet points and it's time for Tyler's juice!
Now you are in the know! LOL

Ain't that a “b” with an itch

Cause I'm flippin' gosh darn sick
Of all the “s” words you put me through

LMAO Okay "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana. I rock that mother on Guitar Hero.

I can't think of the one I want to list, so I'll put "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton and hope I think of it later.
Day 28 – A song that makes you feel guilty
"Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. I think she's kind of a brat and I don't want to like this song, it's so Pop-y, but I like it.

Get it right
I was sitting here thinking that I should write a blog. So of course, nothing would come to me. I want so badly to be witty and interesting! I was also listening to music, thanks to Twin and my birthday Itunes giftcard. I happen to be a big Gleek so I downloaded a couple of songs from the show. One of their original songs came on. It's called Get it Right. I'm sure it's not a groundbreaking piece of song writing, but I like it and it does speak to me.
In life, I consider myself something of a fixer. When there is an issue or someone is upset about something, I want to fix it. Sometimes I desperately want to fix it. I'm a very sensitive and empathetic person. I will agonize over how to reply to a post on a forum because I truly can feel a little bit of the pain on that girl that just had a miscarriage or got another big fat negative pregnancy test. When a friend loses someone or has to deal with something, I cry with them. I cry with TV.
All that aside, I don't usually feel like I have done enough. I am (here comes a cliche) my own worst critic. I think most people probably are. I've never had very high self-esteem. So here is my song of the day...
Get It Right lyrics
What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight
Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send down a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight
