The baby card aisle was made by Satan

in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

While he suffered a serious bout of puppy-rainbow-glitter diarrhea, just after he blew a unicorn. There isn't a single one that isn't gushing about how babies are so amazing, the best thing you'll ever do, they will change your life, you've never known love until now, there's nothing better/sweeter/more uplifting/insert-cliched-superlative-here. Barfbarfbarf.

 So I did what any good little hab ab would do. I got a package of really pretty blank note cards. Fvck you, baby aisle, for making me feel completely broken and worthless and incomplete. I'm making my own goddaamn baby cards, fvckyouverymuch.

Now I'm off to wrap the SIX baby shower or baby's 1st bday gifts I bought today and finish cake balls for the shower tomorrow.

(And yes, I am running for living canonization and I'm not shy about letting y'all know that)

    Glad you made it out of there alive Surprise

    For the last year I have been a mega fan of blank cards with pictures of cute dogs, appropriate for any occasion really.

    Seriously, I don't know how you still have a sense of humour after a day like that. hugs.

    I agree with you, I hate the baby card aisle. I would rather make one myself.

    I seriously love you! That phrase made my night.  Girl, get you some of these cards.  They come in a pack of like, 50.  You can get fun colored ones and they go on sale a lot.  It saves so much $$$ on cards, they're pretty, and no hassle picking any out!  I like the little tiny ones, less room to write a heartfelt message I can't think of.

    The company that made the "WTF GOD" card that Allison has in the sidebar of her blog has a line of mom-themed cards.

    They kinda rock. 

    But yeah, I hate the baby card aisle too.  Blech. 

    Welcome to the world, Baby Grr!

    Aww, thanks OSB! Looks like I made some passive-aggressive (or dare I say *bitter*?) pregnant or newly-vaginally-torn gal get her undies in a twist. Sorry, sweetums.

    Six?  Wow.  I'm a big fan of blank cards for all occassions these days.  Even shopping for a birthday card is too much for me.

    Lame.

    You're talking to someone who threw a full on temper tantrum in the baby card aisle after a loss. The sales ladies were huddling behind the counter in terror.

    Yup I went through that two weeks ago.  If it weren't for the awesome couple I met while buying a gift I wouldn't have made it out alive, I would have been sucked into the pot at the end of the damn rainbow.  Glad you survived that.
