TTC After a Loss

Oh yeah, I guess today is my first EDD...

I realized it last night when I went to bed and looked at my phone. I have been so busy at work this month I have had no time to think about it, which is a blessing. I realized it again for a second when I was doing calendar time (I teach kinder) with my kids...but of course with 24 kinders there is no time to stop and be sad. Just realized it again when I logged onto the Bump. I think being super busy, along with being in the 2ww is helping me to cope, because I am dealing pretty well...but I know if I get a BFN on Sunday I will probably crumble.
I cannot even get my head around the idea that I should be welcoming twins into our lives right now. Even though I would give anything to have them here, I can see now that maybe the loss was also a blessing in disguise. Had that (surprise) pregnancy continued, I would have been 9 months pregnant during what has been the most difficult start to a school year I have ever had, trying to plan for maternity leave, finishing my practicum for graduate school which was due two weeks ago, and trying to plan for twins....all at the same time. I think it would have been overwhelming. My DH probably would not have been able to to take the new job he started last month either because of finances and vacation time. I know we would have gotten through it, and those twins would have been an incredible blessing. As painful as it has been...this journey has helped me to realize how badly I want to be a mother, when in February I wasn't totally sure we were ready. Now, I KNOW we are more ready than ever...and I can't wait.

I'm so very sorry. I would be about nine months right now too. I almost forgot for a little while, then i logged onto a webpage to chart only to realize I hadn't deleted my old info. I must have cried for an hour when it told me how far along I was supposed to be.
Good luck!

There is some sort of bigger plan behind everything...just sometime parts of that plan suck bigtime! I am glad you can see the positives that have come out of this. I pray your sticky BFP comes soon!
HUGS - Seems like you are copeing really well. It is a blessing that you have been so busy that it came and went so quickly. Can't wait to hear about you BFP announcement Sunday!
