So my client is holding their holiday party as I write this, and I am sitting at my desk and all I want to do is curl up in a ball crying. The cafeteria and lobby are filled with desserts..along with a chocolate fountain with fruit and holiday music and festive people. I want to throw up and cry at the same time. The only real times I felt Ava's kicks was after eating sweets..and only two weeks after I started really feeling her she was gone. I just think about how much I should be fat and happy and indulging right now and instead I'm sitting at my desk with a lump in my throat writing this. I cried for a bit in a bathroom stall but the lump is still there. I need a good, ugly cry and if I do that here my face will be red for an hour. I can't wait to get in my car and head home.

J&J - I can't figure out how to send a PM! I feel like we do have a lot in common. We both have little boys and lost our little girls right around the same point in our pregnancies. I too, have had people say to me "at least you have James" and it really doesn't make me feel better at all. If anything, I carry even more guilt because I failed to give him his little sister that he could be playing with and loving here on earth. We're both also going to start TTC next month...so we should be on the same TTCAL journey. If you can PM me your number or your email address it would be good to connect. I know how to get to my inbox and check messages (I've never gotten any though). But I just can't figure out how to send a new message to someone.

Meli-
I totally understand what your feeling, it must be so tough. I cried the other day because DH was eating a snickers ice cream bar and that is what I ate when I was pregnant. Then I thought about feeling him kick and how he is not here now and how I don't know if I can ever eat those again. It always surprises me how something like that can trigger me but it can. I hope your feeling a little better today.
Due with baby boy # 2 in May 2016
