Infertility

I need all the help I can get tomorrow!

BABY SHOWER...No

So, a few ladies in my office planned a baby shower for a lady who is on her 2nd pregnancy.  There will be pink everywhere, a HUGE cake, party favors etc!  AND since I work in HR I have to attend...political crap.  I'm trying really hard to be happy about it but it is so hard!

I went shopping for a gift last night and actually did fine with that until a lady in line started gushing over baby showers...of course, she had 2 children under 3 with her.  Ick!  I don't know how I will handle the actual shower and having to look at her baby bump for an hour! Crying

The last time I went to a baby shower I cried the rest of the day in bed...yikes. 

I can do this!  Right?

Re: I need all the help I can get tomorrow!

  • I know it's no fun --- I've been to and had to throw a few this year.  What got me through was just telling myself that one day it would be me.  Silly, I guess, but it helped.  GL.

    Baby Girl # 2
    TTC Since June 2013
    Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
    EDD 10/15/16
    At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
