in Late Term and Child Loss

I suppose I should first address the elephant in the room...  Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful dads out there.  We may not have our sweet angels in our arms to remind us what amazing parents we are, but we were all parents to living babies at some point in pregnancy and we all deserve the same recognition.  I hope we all get through the day with support from those we love.

The weekend started off well.  DH and I spent yesterday together shopping for clothes and for decor for our new house.  We laughed and sang in the car and enjoyed each other's company.  On the way home, the world news came on the radio and the first story said, "A VERY pregnant Kate Middleton was spotted in her last public appearance before she gives birth..."  And I lost it.  That snippet ruined my entire day.  I found out she was pregnant just days after I found out about my own, and for some reason my entire pregnancy I felt special that she and I were expecting at the same time.  I just couldn't stop thinking about it...  Why does she get to keep her baby and I don't?  Maybe if I was royalty, Ava would be alive...  ugh.

To end on a happy note, DH and I had sex for the first time since we lost Ava.  It was the first time in SO long...  we had an early pregnancy scare and we were advised to abstain.  I was so nervous about it after delivery and my uterine surgery, but I am happy to say that it was amazing!!!  LOL  I feel like this huge burden has been lifted.  I worried that my libido would disappear or that it would be painful.  Needless to say, I no longer have to worry  :)  I feel like I am on the slow road to recovery toward the family that I long for!

Try to enjoy your Sunday, ladies  :)

    Sorry you had a hard day. I understand about Kate Middleton! She got married the same year I did, and then I got pregnant before she did and I was all "haha I beat you!" yeah. Totally sucks.

    Yeah, I'm not sure why that's so significant to me, but I said the same thing!  I was pumped that my due date was before hers, too.  LOL  It just sucks SO badly that all the women I knew who got pregnant after me are coming up to their due dates...  my chest burns just thinking about it.  Ugh.  Like I keep saying, one step forward, three steps back.

    I completely understand about Kate Middleton.  Kim K's gets to me for another reason...the fact that I think she'll be a lousy mom and the fact that she seemingly took her pregnancy for granted.  But I also felt it was something special that I was due close to when Princess Kate is due.

    My mom always loved Princess Di and I can remember waking up super early when I was just two years old to watch her wedding with my mom.  Since I was having a girl, I was hoping she and I could also share a fascination with the royals and being due within weeks of each other excited me.  I'm so sorry that ruined your day.

    But I am happy to hear your first time since went well.  Our first time wasn't great, but the ones since then have been much better and I am very happy as well that that department isn't difficult at least.
