Thanksgiving dinner was really great

We got there shortly before dinner and it was really a relaxed and happy day! We ate, chatted, played Scrabble and had a nice time. DH and I took a walk when everyone was talking a bit too much about my sister's upcoming baby, but I was pleased with myself that I took that walk before I got upset and pleased with my family that the baby talk ended when we got back. I even had a nice chat with my mom about how my feelings were hurt by some of her reactions and she accepted it very well. It really was a good day.

I hope everyone else had a similarly Happy Thanksgiving!

    It sounds like you handled things well.

    No one in our families knows that we are TTC let about the loss or IF. I started off just feeling kind of disconnected from all of the hubub and happiness, since at home I had been having a hard time today filled with many tears because I remember how when I got my BFP I mapped out how PG I would be at each holiday, and now we are looking at not only no PG or baby, plus a possibility of never having a PG again. Eventually I just relaxed and went with the flow of the big mass of relatives and enjoyed the distraction, but it took awhile. I want to get the emotional read from DH on how well (or not) I held myself together.

    It was a good day, even with tough moments.

    I had a nice late lunch at my mom's house w. just my brothers, their spouses, and my DH and DD. I hung out at my moms all day and did nothing. I skipped out on DH's family thing because it was a whole lot of people there, and I was so not ready to face that many people yet. He made a pit stop just to say hello, and he came back home. I'm just happy he's been an amazing DH through the last 3 days.
