Yeah, Mother's Day is no fun for me since I've lost both a baby and my mom...blech.
Yeah, this is me too. Last year was my first Mother's Day since my mom died, and the first since I had a miscarriage. It sucked, I barricaded myself in my room and didn't come out, and then I got yelled at by my dad because I didn't call my stepmom (who married my dad when I was 21) to wish her happy Mother's Day.
This year I've sent her flowers so I hopefully don't have to call. Now I've lost two babies, have no mother, and have no desire to interact with anyone who wants to casually ask me what I got my mom for Mother's Day or what my kids are doing for me.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I also noticed that you're new to the board; I read your bio in your profile, and I'm really glad your friend recommended TTCAL--it's a wonderful place full of amazing, supportive women. I hope that you'll take a moment to read the blog (there's a link in the page header) that has lots of great information for "newbies," and you might also want to consider posting an intro with a bit more of your history so we can all get to know you better.
Many hugs--and I hope you can find small joys in this weekend.

I am right there with all of you - been struggling with my emotions all week. My wish for all of us is that next year we get to celebrate with our own children in our arms!
