TEAM BLUE!
My Chart
~~ALL WELCOME~~
I'm so sorry you're feeling blue.
I thought mother's day wouldn't bother me, but at church when the preacher spent the whole sermon randomly mentioning nice things about mothers (apparently, mothers are perfect, while men and the rest of us women should just look up to them) instead of a real study, I got annoyed.
Although I'd "come out" to the women's group, only one acknowledged me in any way (I think maybe the others didn't know what to say? But it made me feel bad that no one seemed to be able to look in my direction). It did feel just right when a woman who knows our struggles gave me a hug and said "happy mother's day to a future mother."
My mom is out of town this weekend and I think that allowed me to think more of myself instead of celebrating her like usual.
Looking forward to father's day though! I am excited to do something fun for DH like give him some kind of future father kit of little gifts or something.
::::pregnancies mentioned, not mine::::
I made the mistake of going onto FB---way too many people chose today to announce that they are expecting which hit hard. Many if those announcing are due just a week or two before my last loss EDD. Ugh : ( So depressing. I think I should just stay away from FB for a while. Is this day over yet?
amlrunner that's just messed up.
Me (29) DH (37)
Married 7/11

-----All Welcome----
~~~January 3T Siggy Challenge: New Year's Resolutions~~~
(I don't do resolutions...so I stole T-Rex's)
I was feeling pretty blue yesterday as well. This was the first mothers day where DH fully understood. I think this was the first mothers day where he was a little heartbroken too.
Then, my two year old nephew planted a huge kiss on my cheek and said "love you" for the first time. Kinda made me smile and realize what we are fighting like hell for.
Being an aunt isn't bad.....
I HATE that I calculate holidays by when we could be pregnant, when we could announce, when we would bring baby home....how old will everyone be when our little one finally comes...when I can finally take maternity leave (LOL!).
I thought of all of you all yesterday. Hugs to each of you and here's hoping we can all join the club in the near future!
