Hey, I just wanted to see how your weekend went.  I was thinking about you on your EDD and hoping that life treated you as kindly as it could.

    Thanks, hon. It was okay in the end. I posted about it on my blog today--wound up having a meltdown the day before over some crappy unrelated stuff, but the day of I was okay and really did have a good time at the wedding. Weddings are generally rather baby-free, which is nice. A baptism would have been too much to take.

    Thanks for checking in on me. It feels like we've passed a hump now that we're on the other side of the EDDs, doesn't it?

    I just read your latest blog post and I get it.  With my EDD it felt like the things that I thought might upset me (like seeing pg women and families and all that jazz) didn't and then, out of nowhere, DH and I got into a kerfluffle about his dirty socks or whatever and I broke down. 

    I've been thinking a lot about the acceptance bit, too.  I have my setbacks, but for the most part I understand that this is my life.  For a long time I saw myself at a crossroads on some kind of conveyor belt (like a scene from Pink Floyd's The Wall) with every other woman on the planet.  You'd either get carried along toward the "happy and healthy pregnancy path" or you wouldn't.  And I didn't.  And when I used to imagine this scenario, I used to fight it.  I used to try to run backwards, like a frantic lunatic, to the point where I could go in the "right" direction.  But I realize now that this is my path.  I was probably always meant to go on this route.  Hopefully it'll lead me somewhere positive in the long run. 

    Anyway, long story long, I understand where you're coming from with this.  We're on the other side of the EDD and I feel okay with having checked that off some kind of list in the sky. 

    I'm glad you had a good time at the wedding and I'm sorry your London tunic was ruined.  I'm going to check in on your blog updates, if that's okay, because I feel like we have a lot in common.  Also, my BFF lives in Park Slope and it's been a while since I've visited her.  :)

    Definitely check in on the blog! I post every couple of days. But be warned: I whine a LOOOOOT more than I do on here. You will realize what a whiny person I am :)

    If you come back to the Slope any time soon to visit BFF you should let me know!

    And yes, acceptance of some kind. I think I'm getting there. Just in the way that I no longer say to myself "I should have had a baby [last December} [last week] [insert whenever]." Well no, I shouldn't have. This is just how things are and I do have hope that when we (all of us!) get to somewhere better we will be the better for having gone through this.

    Which is NOT to say we needed to be taught a lesson, James Holt!

    Oh, hey, I'm Queen Bee Whiney Head.  So no worries there.  And I'll definitely take you up on your offer of a meet-up the next time I'm in your neck of the woods.  My friend is a production assistant for a 60s/70s band and she travels all the blessed time (Paris right now, the witch) so it's hard to orchestrate schedules...but hopefully sometime relatively soon. 

    I'd like to teach James Holt a lesson... A knuckle sandwich-type lesson.

    Paris? Witch indeed. Lucky witch.

    I will join your knuckle-sandwich lesson and give James Holt a flaming-hot-poker-up-the-bum lesson.
