Going to see my friend's new baby tonight...

in TTC After a Loss

I'm about to leave in a few minutes to go visit with a good friend of mine and her new baby that was born 2 weeks ago.  I'm really nervous because this is the first baby I will hold since everything that happened with our mc back in Dec.  I've avoided babies at all cost, but I've known this friend since we were 10 and I'm truly happy for her.  I'm just praying I have the strength to not burst into tears the minute I see the baby.  I just keep telling myself that this isn't about me and that I need to separate what my experiences were aside from all the blessings she has going on right now. 

Ok, wish me luck!  Here I go.

    I'm in the same boat as you!!!!! My best friend is in labor right now. If she has the babies tonight, my mom & I are going to the hospital. I haven't been to the maternity section of that hospital since I had Mason. Mason was the last baby I held... Part of me doesn't want to hold another baby until it's mine and part of me thinks it will be good for me to get over that hump... I wish you luck. Wish me some too. We can do it right? After all we've been through, we're tough cookies!

    If you cry she will understand if she is THAT kind of friend and holding this baby might actually help you heal. I found after my MC the thought of holding another newborn broke my heart, but the feelings I had while holding that baby could rival any sadness. Good luck---

    You are strong!  I hope it went well and I like your attitude about it.  I am seeing babies for the first time since my m/c on Monday and I need to go into it just like you! (And I have a baby shower on Sunday...)
