I wish I could offer you comfort, but I know that no words can ever take the pain away and only time heals pain.
I have often wondered the same about emotions when you are pregnant. My husband is currently in Afghanistan and is in one of the very bad parts that you hear about on TV. We only get to talk once or twice a month for 15 minutes a time and it has been very hard emotionally on me and sometimes I cry more than I smile. I try to avoid the news, but I can't help but notice that everyday there seems to be a death in that particular area. I have developed a fear of strange cars on my street because I am just so afraid it will be someone knocking on my door to tell me it was him. He is my best friend and most importantly the father of my child and I want so much for him to experience this all and for my child to have a father to grow up with too.
I am a Christian too and I just pray every moment I get, even if it is a small prayer in my head. I try to have a positive attitude and keep myself busy and if I need to take a day to be upset and let it out, I do and everyone seems to understand. I know that is harder to do when you are dealing with death, but hopefully when you see your baby, some of your grief will disappear and turn into the joy that wish you for so much.
I can't imagine what you are going through, but you are in my thoughts and prayers! Your dad sounds like he was a great man and hopefully you can let your little one know just how special his grandpa was.
Sorry you are dealing with this but I would like to point out that the message boards are NOT a blog. they have seperate sites for that.
You're a douche. Seriously.
OP, I am so, so, so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS))) I cannot imagine. Take care of yourself, and feel free to come over to Parenting anytime you need some shoulders to crying.
To the first poster: You are a freaking hell hag.
OP: Yes, totally feel free to come over to the Parenting board. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you aren't alone in your feelings. Take the time to grieve the way you feel you need to ::hugs::

THIS coming from the "woman" who posts about losing an M&M down her sweaty boobs at work? C'mon! In no way did you need support for retrieving your filthy M&M, unless perhaps you should've been wearing a better bra and the M&M may have bounced, rather than stuck. Yep, you're a real winner
Moving on...Meredith, I agree completely with what Orchid said in a pp. I lost my father when I was 25 and my DS was just over 1yo. My father will never know my LO to come in March. But I deeply agree with Orchid and have faith that we will be reunited again and that he is watching over my children. Please do not hesitate to pm us if you need to "chat" or just need someone to listen. You're not alone.
WHOA starannice your a B!TCH!!! That was super rude.
