My major accomplishment for the day

I am wearing make up to work for the first time since my D&E-basically the 3rd time in 6 weeks I've made a serious effort with my appearance.  It feels like a promise to myself not to break down in tears at work.  Baby steps are what count right?

Anyone else have a major accomplishment today?

that's awesome. on days when i'm feeling really down, i'll straighten my hair (i have very long and thick hir-- it's a good 1.5-2 hour process!). it makes me feel better to do something "pretty" for myself.

I think that's a great accomplishment! I remember right after I found out that I was loosing my baby - taking a shower was an accomplishment.

Today's accomplishment was going to the doctor for my 2 week post D&C visit and not crying there.

Just this past week was the first time I wore make-up since I lost my boys.  I think it's a major accomplishment.  For me, it didn't feel like stuff like that mattered before or like wearing make-up meant I wasn't still mourning.  I think I finally realized last week that it's ok to take care of myself and make myself try to look better because it makes me feel better to do so.  I'm still mourning and will continue to do so probably forever, but that doesn't mean that I have to put my life on hold or not do things to better myself.  It's just a really good thing.
