I want to preface this by saying - Normally I love getting the photo Christmas cards in the mail ... this year, not so much.    Anyone with me on this one??

    I haven't gotten any photo ones yet this year, but I'm sure if/when I do, I'll be right there with you.

    I received one a few days ago from a good friend who is pg.  I'm so very happy for her but so jealous.  I should have a picture of my 3 month old... instead I have a picture of the angel bear we will use to represent her in our family photos in the future.  ::hugs::

    I am glad I am not the only one who is having a tough time with this. We have only gotten one, from my husbands coworker who has a "perfect" little girl that they did not plan on having, but brag about her every second they get. I felt like it was a huge slap in the face, like "here is our perfect baby that we had no problem conceiving, and now she is so perfect, and you have nothing"... I know they probably don't mean it but I really wish they would have not even bothered sending us an xmas card at all.

    Hugs to you all!   I felt the same way as you Kristajean15.   I know they have no clue as to what is going on in my life - but still I get upset.  I think its part of the grieving process.   Seeing all of the kids on their holiday outfits, sitting on Santa's lap, only fill my heart with envy.

    Amen sister.  Especially hard for me this year as not only lost a baby, but found uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy this year (and surgical menopause-totally sucks) and so sad to know there are no more chances for me... don't even feel like celebrating Christmas at all

    Thoughts and prayers to you Christine55416.  I am so sorry for all that you are going through.   Hopefully we can all find some comfort this season.

    I'm so with you here. One friend (due two weeks before I should have been) also used her card to announce the pregnancy (mind you, the pic was of her dog...) Hate it.
