When the topic of pregnancy comes up, you have every right to contribute.<br /><br />Like PP's, I think you've learned enough!!

The situations are different (or backstory, I guess) but I always feel like a Debbie Downer and things are always smacking me in the face. You aren't alone. <br /><br />I don't konw what else there is to learn either. I've learned enough and also agree that the torture can stop.<br /><br />(((HUGS)))Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507118457609696378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-73752801785820560952010-03-09T16:07:32.839-08:002010-03-09T16:07:32.839-08:00Shower, totally.

The little shore birds are quite comforting at those moments in a way that shower tiles just can't be. :)<br /><br />It doesn't seem real that this is happening (really? I am really, actually in hell and no one can see it? Or can they?), but I know it will ultimately make us better parents. It may be a test, but definitely not a punishment.<br /><br />I am proud of you for speaking up. How did it go? Did they fear your miscarriage cooties? Or did they just assume, based on your brave performance, that miscarriage must not be so tragic after all?(imagine me making a dry, extremely bitter 'ha!' sound, following that last part)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445064184402702224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-12855726643336399012010-03-09T15:42:57.649-08:002010-03-09T15:42:57.649-08:00So sorry hun, but I am so proud of you for making ...So sorry hun, but I am so proud of you for making it through dinner. Especially after getting bombarded with preggo news, that is the worst!!! I so feel your pain, and crying in the shower is totally my go to spot. It's like I've been patient, I've tried to justify how this waiting can be a good thing, and still nothing. It's so frustrating. But we just have to keep believing good things ARE coming our way. And the waiting will all be worth it!!Basic Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949810121076136586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-10237558780158086532010-03-09T13:44:43.129-08:002010-03-09T13:44:43.129-08:00I know it's hard.

But I'm sorry you had to face another pregnant person so soon, and that it happened to be one who nicely illustrated what you SHOULD have been experiencing. Maybe you're having some anniversary misery as well? It's been quite a crap year for you... I don't know what God will tell you, but maybe clinging to your good prognosis will help. You have every reason to believe you will get pregnant again soon, and you will have a successful pregnancy.<br /><br />P.S. Those fortune teller fish *always* say jealousy for me. I'm not sure they are 100% accurate...bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197167351148883584noreply@blogger.com
