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!
