VENT! Never checking my mail again! I'll let DH do it.

So, many of us have had the pleasure of the Similac baby formula people sending us samples in the mail, which is just a sad reminder of what we don't have. Well, a new all time low came in the mail yesterday... I got a freakin PACKET of "new mom" material and it said in HUGE letters "Congratultions on your new baby!" on it.

W...T..F!?!?!?!?!?! I don't know how they would have gotten my address for something like this. It was addressed to me and everything. It's like someone is trying to play a cruel joke! I am wicked superstitious too, so I don't buy any baby things, subscribe to any magazines and won't until I am like 13 weeks pregnant. I am just afraid of jinxing myself, so how on earth they got my info for this, I have no idea, but I am PISSED! Angry And a little sad. Mrr. I need this 2 month break to fly by!

    You might want to check that you don't have your address on file with the bump in your profile. I could see them sending out promo stuff since this is baby geared and they don't realize some of us aren't quite yet the gloating new moms. 

    Sorry you had to deal with that.

    Wow, that sucks.  We just moved into a new house and the the woman who moved out was pregnant so we are always getting stuff like that plus ads for Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby a few times  a week.  It makes me sad too.  Especially since I thought we'd be getting pregnant soon after we moved in.

    OMG!!! Was this also from Similac?! I swear to God that if I ever do get pregnant, I'm not buying a single thing from their idiotic company.

    I'm so sorry this happened to you! Talk about salt in the wounds.

    Yup, it stinks. I got a box of two full size cans of formula from Similac on the day that I found out my second IUI failed. Last week they sent me more formula checks. I don't know how they got my address!

    UGH!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT CRAP!!!!! Not long after one of my failed cycles, I came home to a huge box on my porch. Two huge cans of Similac and lots of coupons.  Another woman from a different message board did 2 cycles (failed also) the same time as me and got the same box.  I don't know if it's the pharmacy where I ordered the perscriptions, my RE's office or what, but I was seriously devestated!!!

    So yeah, I get it.  Big hugs darlin..
