Having a bad day

Today is my first EDD, and I have been a mess all day.  I know that if it weren't for that loss, I wouldn't have what seems to be a healthy pregnancy now, but I can't help thinking about the what ifs.

I called my doctor's office to reschedule my first ultrasound.  It was supposed to be next Monday, but I start my new job that day and will be in orientation all day.  The first appointment they had was January 13.  I know 2 weeks doesn't make a huge difference, but I just want to know that everything is okay.

I had to run to the mall to pick up a gift at Bath and Body Works.  I know it was a terrible idea 3 days before Christmas, but it had to be done.  The smells were so overwhelming, it was horrible.

I have a stack of presents that need wrapped, a trip to Costco that I need to make, and laundry that needs to be done.  All I want to do is lay here on the couch with my ginger ale and watch bad tv.

Re: Having a bad day

  • Awwh. I am so sorry. I can't imagine how hard today must be. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Don't be hard on yourself. There is no time limit on grief. I pray that this ultrasound will come fast and everything will be perfect.

    HUGS!

  • I really hope the day got better for you!  Sending hugs to you and hoping you get to take it easy for Christmas!
  • Hey girl - so sorry that yesterday was a crappy day - hope today is TONS better!  Big hugs to you = )
  • Hugs to you!  I'm so sorry things are so overwhelming right now with the EDD and things to do.  In the middle of it all, try to take some time just for you to rest.  Have you thought about writing a letter to the baby?  Maybe that will help you through your grief...
