TTC After a Loss

Need to get this out somewhere, no one else understands

My due date was December 10th. I remember when I first got pregnant I was so excited to have to order another stocking from Pottery Barn Kids to match the one we have for DD. Yesterday I went to PBK to buy some discounted Halloween decorations for next year, and they had all their Christmas stuff out. It hit me, hard. The plans that I don't have anymore... It made me so sad! No one else in my family/group of friends has gone through a loss, so they don't understand how the little things still affect me. Anyway, thanks for listening.

  • I'm so sorry, I'm sure that was really rough.  I have noticed the little things have made me more upset than I expected.  I was due December 1st and I really think the Holidays are going to be pretty somber this year.

  • I'm sorry.  I totally know the feeling.  Two years ago I bought any engagement ornament I could find.  Last year I got all the new home and first Christmas ones.  This year I was planning to buy the pregnant ones, but now, it's not happenning (yet).  I was in Kohls and fought back the tears in the ornament dept.
    imageBaby Birthday Ticker Ticker Every night I prayed for you. Then when you were in my belly, I prayed harder. Now that you're in my arms, I pray even harder.
  • I definitely understand where you're coming from. My EDD was December 22, so of course the first thing you think about with a December baby is Christmas. Now that all the Christmas stuff is going up in stores its hard not to think about it.

  • I know exactly what you mean.  The little things are the sneakiest and the most difficult.  ((HUGS))
