Re: Weekly Randoms 2/25
i think I’ve mentioned before that my oldest is on the spectrum and is in an integrated program with therapies that occur there. He has an IEP through our current school district. We close on the house on Friday, and I’ve been in close contact with our new school district for months.
The secretary to the woman that deals with this called me this morning and had no idea that he already receives services. I’ve been working close with the new district because we need no lapse in services if possible. He was registered as of last week, and now they just need to transfer his paperwork. She acted completely shocked when I told her it’s all set up, she just needs to transfer his records. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

A good friend of mine and I both started trying for a second baby in the new year. We both got pregnant in the same cycle and had due dates 4 days apart. So we told each other about our pregnancies earlier than I think either of us normally would tell friends, simply because we knew the other one was trying, too. Anyway, I'm sure you can tell where this is going. She lost her pregnancy a few days ago. It was not a huge surprise because her hormone levels had been unfavorable and her doctor had warned her about the odds. I only met her after DS was born because we were in a moms' group together, but from what I understand she had quite a bit of trouble conceiving her first child and at least one MC. Her son was born very early and was considered a micro-preemie and spent I think 9 weeks in the NICU. After all of that, she wasn't even sure she wanted to try for a second child because she wasn't sure she could go through it again. But she had some kind of spark of inspiration/courage and decided to try after all. And now this.
My heart breaks for her, and it's compounded by the fact that now I am going to have a pregnancy (god willing) that is going to be exactly on the timeline hers would have been. The two of us, plus two other friends are a tight-knit group of 4 "mom friends." We have a group text where we share about everything in our lives and our kids. My friend said she doesn't want me to feel like I can't talk about my pregnancy in the group or with her individually. I think she's worried she'll end up left out of the group if I start only sharing with the other two. I told her okay, but to let me know if and when she needs to pull back or needs some distance. I'm going to tread very lightly for a while and see how it goes -- luckily there's not a ton going on at this stage anyway. But it's going to be harder when the big milestones start coming.
If anyone has been through a similar situation (on either side) I'd appreciate any input you might have on how to proceed in the most compassionate way.
TW Missed Miscarriage
One of my best friends was due 4 weeks ahead of me and found out last Thursday at her ultrasound that she had a missed miscarriage. I'm trying to navigate being there as much as possible for her while also respecting the fact that I'm likely a painful reminder right now 😢
*all sorts of trigger warnings*
My first MC was actually when I was in high school. One of my oldest friends got knocked up the following year. She then had another surprise baby in 2014. She knew at the time the second one rolled around, that I was really struggling because I never really processed what had happened. She was oblivious and constantly talked about the pregnancy and weekly updates were sent to me. It was not helpful at all, but she didn’t seem to care.
When I was pregnant with DS2, my bestie and I were both due within 2 weeks of one another (our firsts were born 5 days apart). Hers was a molar pregnancy. She simply asked that I not baby her but also not bring it up daily. Easy. When she was having a really tough time, she asked that I not mention it at all so I didn’t bring it up
until she gave the okay.
Flashforward to now, friend #1 mentioned and I were due within a few weeks of each other when I had my CP. A few days later, at her viability scan, they discovered a MMC. She was benched for a cycle, and I got lucky. I only bring it up when she asks specifically for updates, but that’s also how I’ve been with her with every pregnancy since I’m not much of a sharer with her on it as we have different views on how to proceed through things that occur (she’s anti all meds, for example, whereas I’m going “can I get a walking epidural on standby now?”).

@steminist I did a google search bc first of all I’ve never heard of whirlyball, and secondly to see what it said about playing while pregnant. I found a post from another board and someone said there’s a disclaimer at the place she went saying not to play while pregnant. Maybe just say you’re feeling under the weather and that’s why you skipped the game and aren’t drinking? 🤷🏼♀️
@cmbt2 I'm sorry for what you went through. These issues are hard enough to navigate as adults and it must have been incredibly confusing and hard as a teen.
Soooo good but so many tears. Bawling.
To make the appointment even better, my H provided a ton of comic relief. He got to practice his first official "dad jokes" while I was getting my blood drawn. I'm prone to fainting, so I was lying quietly with my eyes closed, and he jumped on the opportunity to fill the silence with humor 😂 When the nurse apologized for blowing a vein and having to stick me twice, he was like, "Oh no worries, I hardly felt it!" And when the nurse was commenting on how most of my third trimester would be in the summer and dresses would be my best friend, he jumped in with "Do you think they come in my size, though?" But my personal favorite was when saw the baskets of tampons and pads (and the basket of condoms by the dildo cam), and thought they were freebie giveaway swag and reenacted this scene from The Office. 😂
