going to see my friend's baby today

And I have NO idea what to expect.  Part of me thinks I'm going to be fine and part of me thinks I'm going to be a blubbering mess.  I really hope that I'm going to be okay.  It's really important to me to be honest about my feelings, but it's also really important to me that I put in the hard work to keep growing in this process.  I'll update later today.

    It's okay if you are a blubbering mess-I definitely was the first time I held a baby knowing that mine would eventually die (while I was still pg with Avery.)  For me it was more about how amazing it was that this little guy was alive and perfect, not necessarily a sad thing.  I think your friend will understand and support you no matter what your reaction is.  ((BIG hugs)) Be gentle with yourself whatever your reaction is.

    ((Hugs)) It's a nice feeling, bittersweet, but nice. I know the first time I held a baby around the same age as Brianna would be I didn't want to set her down! I held her for an hr. and this was a neighbor's baby that I never really met met. I hope your meeting goes great! Good luck and *big hugs*

    *hugs*  The first time I held a baby after losing Logan was maybe 4-5 months after.  The baby was actually our godson and he was nearly 9 months old.  I was terrified....but in a way, a very bittersweet way, I found a little healing.

    Good luck, Lovey!  I'll be thinking of you.
