After a couple days lurking here, knowing the worst, but hoping for the best, here I am. I'm Katie and I married my husband just over a year ago. We have a furbaby named Boo who is 7. We just started our TTC journey and were over the moon excited to announce our first BFP to our closest friends and family. I am glad I told my friends, they have been so supportive over the past couple days as I waited for the inevitable dropping labs to confirm my deepest fears. I haven't told my family, I can talk to my friends via text, but to my family I have to actually say the words out loud... and I haven't done this yet. My husband is sad, I think. I know it's not his fault that he doesn't know how to be there for me. I know he wants to move on, and he will, much quicker than I will... and it's okay. He has no idea how easy it was to get attached to such a beautiful miracle inside me...even if I only knew my Appleseed was there for 15 days. I'm here because I would love to gain some support from others who really do know how this feels. I loved the blog post I just read by @eringreneaux. Thank you. I will likely re-read that a number of times, maybe show it to my husband and see if that helps him understand me. I am very sorry that we are all here, and I know each experience is different but I hope each day gets better for us all.
