Cutting the tags off :-x

atangiblewishatangiblewish member
in Pregnant after a Loss

Yesterday was my baby shower. Victoria got a lot of great things, including a bagillion clothes. I was going to wait to cut the tags off. But I don't know if it was a mix of being so exhausted or my FI so excited. After we went through the clothes to determine the ones we will keep (only taking back two that were duplicates, lol!) he said, "Lets get them washed." So I spent an hour cutting off the tags and what not. After doing so I silently regretted it.

Between physical exhaustion/pain from yesterday and the fear of cutting the tags I couldn't sleep. If I did fall asleep it was that half awake/half asleep. I ended up on the couch cause I couldn't fathom sleeping in bed for whatever reason.

I really hate Pgal brain. I've felt her kick here and there. And I know yesterday I was so busy I couldn't even think of feeling her, plus she was probably sleeping with all of the movement. But cutting those tags has seriously put a new extreme fear in me. I hate it, hate it, hate it!

Thanks for letting me ramble/vent.

    Glad you got some great stuff! It's normal to feel scared this is all getting pretty real for you at this moment. Hopefully LO will move around a lot today to reassure you.

    I didn't wash Lucas' clothes until 2 weeks before he was born. I had the same feelings you did when we started buying the nursery furniture.

    Hugs, I'm right there with you.  DH cut off all the tags on the baby clothes we've gotten so far yesterday morning, and I have been totally anxious and fearful ever since. It's not like we could (or would) even return the stuff at this point if some

    PGAL brain can suck my butt. I'm sorry that it got to you after cutting off the tags... but hey - some part of you knows that it's ok to cut off the tags otherwise you wouldn't have done it in the first place.

    Try to keep your hopes up and not lo
