Trouble TTC a Sibling

am I the only one??

So I was certain by our daughters birthday last April we could announce our pregnancy. I pinned cute ideas...then I figured for sure by halloween again checking out super cute ideas...then Christmas. ..another let down...now Vday...I know I am torturing myself.

Am I the only one??

Re: am I the only one??

  • Nope definitely not the only one. I keep thinking I how nice it would be to have X time off for maternity leave. But that's not happening.

  • No, not alone. and in our case we did announce twice but had late losses....it sucks. Especially with holidays approaching. But we aren't alone, I try to focus on that and being happy with what I have.

    Not alone.  I bought a Big Bro shirt for DS last July (like 2013)... I'm pretty certain that it is much to small, but I can't bring myself to part with it :(

  • Completely.  I can't think about Thanksgiving and my parents coming to visit without thinking that I was supposed to be telling them about my pregnancy on this trip.  It sucks.  

    BFP #1 ended with H born 2/2/13
    BFP #2 ended in loss @7weeks 10/15/14
    BFP #3 due 8/21/15 *please stick*
  • I got a big brother iron on transfer, so glad I got that rather than an actual shirt because it is tucked away and I don't have to worry about him growing out of it. I think it was my sub consious way of not getting excited about the pregnancy because I "knew" it was going to end.  

    ((hugs)) ladies.

  • Me too.  Had an emotional meltdown today because I realized with today's negative, I will now be FORTY when/if I get pregnant again.  :(  UGH!  I really had it in my head I'd be pregnant before I turned 40.  Now, I'm really hoping to give birth before I turn 41.  I also keep saying each milestone is it.  If I'm not pregnant by the next one, I'll give up.  Nope, not ready to give up yet either.

  • Nope, I have a big sister teeshirt that is still in its packaging because I got it the day I started bleeding this last time. I had a cute announcement planned for her 2nd birthday in December because I would've been 14 weeks then.
