I quit facebook!

(for a while, anyway) and what happens?  We get a birth announcement for a baby that was born EXACTLY 2 weeks after baby Gary, almost to the minute!  Guess it doesn't matter how hard we try to avoid it... the world is still happening out there with or without us.

Yep.  It seems like I've done my best to avoid certain people on FB but it hasn't stopped my cousin from sending a birth announcement in the mail or a friend sending us a Christmas card with a huge picture of her daughter in it.  It's very frustrating!

I'm so sorry it is true the world keeps going even when ours seems to stop after losing our babies. It just isn't fair at all. I truly understand exactly how you feel. Hugs!!

I deactivated my account too, it's better to stay away from people, especially now. I'll go eventually, but i'm not ready yet.

You are right!  There is no avoiding it.  The world keeps turning.  I got an invitation for a baby shower last week and it has the 4D U/S picture on it.  I quickly folded it over to hide the picture before putting in on my refrigerator.  Ugh!

We got a thank you for the baby shower gift (early January), a birth announcement and sorry for your loss all in one card at the end of February. I still haven't forgiven her for that.

Even other non-baby happy things bother me some days. I just have a hard time with "happy", I guess.

We got a birth announcement/Christmas card about 5 weeks after our loss. For a baby boy that was born 6 days before our son died. Also included was a "year in review" letter about how wonderful their year was. And NO sympathy card from these people. I am still pissed at them.

I did too! The week we lost our twin son and daughter there were THREE birth announcements on Facebook, one of which was twins. I'm sorry, but what are the odds? I honestly wasn't always upset about seeing people's good news but there was one day where I logged on and I saw a picture of our friends who had just had a baby posing with their new baby in the hospital...it killed me and i just sobbed. I think it was hard to realize we were just in the hospital too and our outcome was just so painful and I yearned for what they had in that photo - a happy, healthy family. I deactivated my account that day. I will go back at some point and I know the world doesn't stop b/c we all had our losses...but I don't need to "see" everyone's good news in my face on a daily basis right now.
