TTC After a Loss

"I have to wear these hideous maternity clothes"

I'm in a meeting this morning and a co-worker of mine, *Donna* (who is due a month before I was and KNOWS I had a m/c) was in the meeting as well. 

One of my other co-workers had on an adorable shirt, and as we're all complimenting it, Donna goes, "I WISH I could could wear cute tops like that, but I have to wear these hideous maternity clothes because of this stupid pregnancy." 

I gave her one of those "you don't even know what you just wished for" looks, along with a "get over yourself" eye-roll. 

 Grrr.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. -James 1:17- Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker *TTC since May 2010* *M/C on 8.31.10 at 7wks* *D&C on 9.10.10* *Round #1 of Clomid started 7.7.11* *Round #2 of Clomid started 8.4.11* *Hysteroscopy 9.9.11* *UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY* *IVF November/December 2011* *ER 12/5, 3DET 12/8* *BFP 12/22!!!* *Miracle Baby BOY born 8.31.2012!!!!*

  • Dumb skank.

    However, out of deference for that poor, innocent LO she is carrying, I will not wish her any harm that might hurt the baby (e.g., the throat punch she deserves).

    So instead, I will wish upon her rampging dandruff, pinkeye, and a thousand tiny papercuts doused with rubbing alcohol.

  • This stupid pregnancy huh?

    They make VERY cute maternity clothes today, she should see what they used to wear YEARS ago. tell her to shut her "pie hole" and be thankful things are running as smoothly as possible with her "stupid pregnacy".

    Ok, so that last line about shutting her pie hole wasn't nice. BUT, in my defense Those comments are so irritating.Angry

  • That's when I'd come out with my famous, "Are you f*cking kidding me?!"  line followed by the death stare at her.

    I reserve that for very rare occasions.  This would be one of them.

  • :::Scrounging around, looking for her DH's pistol:::

    Found it! She needs a good pistol whipping!

    I can't believe she would say such a terrible thing as "stupid pregnancy"...I still think people should have to apply for a permit to reproduce..I'm just saying..
