Made something happen, again. See link.

So my wife and I have been going through the IVF process with an egg donors for almost 4 years now. What an emotional roller coaster 0.000/10, do not suggest.

Anyway, she ended up miscarrying a few times. We got one to stick and she is now 21 weeks along, I’m having a little girl. I’m stoked but not sure how to handle this with my wife and watching her body change and all the things that come with it. I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and someone keeps shoveling shit on top.

I’ve dealt with a lot of mental health issues since departing our beloved gym club, I manage it very well but I feel like the demons are drag racing in my head.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I just needed to vent a bit with some dudes who get it. What I wouldn’t give to be that single 32 year old SNCO again living in SoCal and traveling a lot with my command.
