TTC After a Loss

My hair appt today (my stylist is pregnant)

I had a nice relaxing morning getting my hair and nails done for our xmas party tonight.  My stylist, who I have known for over 5 years and I love, and I of course were chatting away.  I asked her what was new with her and she tells me she's pregnant!  I was really excited for her and it was weird b/c I had a premonition that she was going to tell me that while I was driving there. 

Maybe it was just b/c I feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant.  Anyway, I asked when she was due and she is due 2 days before my EDD.  I then told her about our loss and she was very sad for us. 

If you would have told me yesterday this would happen today I would have told you I would fall apart.  And it was hard, but I didn't and haven't cried.  It would have been fun to see her every couple of months and watch our bellies grow.  However, I was truly happy for her and realized that I do have faith that we are going to be pregnant again soon.

  • I think it's very big of you that you can be truly happy for someone who is pregnant, especially so close to your due date. It just shows that you have a good heart. I'm sure that good karma will work it's way back to you!

  • My stylist just had a baby a few weeks ago.  It has been really hard going to her all of these months while her belly has been growing.  I've was thinking that mine should have been growing along with hers.  But, I have been going to her for a long time and I love her and I am happy for her. 

    That is really big of you to be happy for her.  I'm sure she will be happy for you when it is your turn.

  • Thanks for the kind words, ladies. 

    I'm not so sure it is a good heart as much as just a good day.  A few weeks ago at girls night I started crying and had to run to the bathroom during a dinner out when some friends were talking about their friends/sisters that had due dates around mine.  Maybe I was happy for them, but I was definitely more sad for myself that day. 

    And right now I am hoping by the next time I see her I can tell her I'm due a few months after her.  I'm sure if that doesn't happen it will get harder to be as excited for her. 

    In fact, I hope by the next time I see her we all have our BFPs!!!
