How was everyone's easter?

[fluffydamn]

I went to our family get together and only had one breakdown right in the beginning. I was ok afterwards. Some good food and saw cousins I hadn't seen in awhile. How was everyone else's day?

[nikolie93]

Hey fluffydamn, I'm sorry you had a breakdown but glad it was only one. Today was just MH and I but I can imagine how hard it can be while around a whole lot of family.

*hugs* to you and any other ladies that had a rough one today

Pregnancy and LC mentioned, not mine.

It was great until my older sister showed up after dinner. She's due a few weeks before I was and now has a noticeable belly. Watching my nieces open all their little outfits was hard as well. I still love seeing my nieces, so the fact it was hard to watch them open presents was weird. Still, I managed to keep my shit together until I got into the car and broke down. It's the first time I had to deal with her or be in that situation since my loss. I'm proud of myself for holding it together as long as I did. I definitely booked it as soon as I could though. SO also agreed that it sucked.

I was just thinking about posting something like this, fluffydamn! Sorry that you had a breakdown, but I'm glad it was ok after that and you were able to see some family.

My day was alright. I went to church with my sister's family and my parents and then went to my sister's house for lunch with more family and friends. I didn't have any upsetting moments or anything, but I just overall felt kind of down. I have a lot of stress in my life right now in addition to the loss and I think it's kind of gotten to me. I had several people comment that it looks like I've lost a slightly concerning amount of weight. That was hard to hear. The last time a lot of theses people saw me I was 9 weeks pregnant, so yeah, I have lost some weight...

nikolie93 ((hugs)) I would have stayed home with my DH but he works third shift and he was just asleep. I have to go back to work on Wednesday (I work the mother baby unit) so it kind of helped me be prepared. I think it hurt a little more though cause it was family. Did you guys do the traditional Easter dinner of ham etc etc? We went up for lunch today and we were going to have meatball subs for dinner....but DH burnt them in the crockpot. Looks like order out for us!

rablissful ((hugs)) I walked in, it hit me like I was scared and frozen in my spot, turned around and walked outside and then lost my shit. But we are tough women

babyzebra ((hugs)) definitely understand the down thing. Maybe a weekend getaway with DH would help? Glad to hear that your day wasn't all bad

[rablissful]

fluffydamn you are better than me, my SO's allergies are wicked bad and he almost tried to stay home. I would have either dragged him by the ear or skipped if he didn't go with me.

Edit: tags are hard

[nikolie93]

rablissful, I can understand why what would be hard. I am glad you were able to hold it in. Some days it's easier to hold in and some days I just can't.

babyzebra I'm sorry you have other stresses in your life on top of the other stuff. It's not fair how things seem to pile on sometimes *hug*

fluffydamn, no Easter tradition stuff for us. I spent all day at our shop working on my car!

** LC mentioned/Other pregnancy mentioned.

My day was okay. First post - loss/d&c period has gotten me down. Damn it's scary.
Besides that things went okay. Some sadness as I was going to tell people today. My son seemed to be on his best behavior although he was a little bit naughty in church. He looked handsome though.

I had planned on doing a social media announcement tomorrow for opening day (we are huge baseball fans) so I'm a little bit weepy about that. I'm also nervous my cousin, who got pregnant with twins (after multiple losses) will do an announcement tomorrow. Then I'll be really sad. Stuff is hard.

So many hugs to all you ladies!

Lc mentioned*****

my weekend was ok, had one breakdown as well, we say a family friend who had a baby that was close to the same age as my first loss would have been, I held him and kept it together for about 20 min. Then it was just too much. Luckily everyone know of my losses, so at least I didn't have to go there. Managed to pull it back together,but no more baby holdong fo me that night. I wss proud of myself for going though, I assumed it would happen, hoped it wouldn't, but I prepared myself for the possibility.

Other then that it has been a nice weekend, and I am getting super excited that I will be going home to see my family at the end of this week! I try to focus on that!

*hugs to everyone*

I admire those of you that went to family functions yesterday. I can't imagine how hard that was but you ladies are tough cookies.

My Easter was uneventful. I drove 7 hours on the PA turnpike to visit my parents for the week. Mom is thrilled to see me and she refuses to let me do anything. I plan on getting my hair cut and colored, nails done, and lots of shopping in the next 5 days. Oh, and chipotle. YUM!

Hey guys, well...we played volleyball all day which was fun, however there were a couple pregnancy announcements amongst our circle of friends so that was kind of a sting. Even worse, we were planning to announce to the world on Easter which was also my birthday yesterday that we were pregnant (I would have been 13 weeks). I already had it all planned out with the two big volleyballs and baby sized volleyball in the sand. I'm feeling extremely emo...that could be a sign that AF is getting close. Hugs to all!

[nikolie93]

vballbaby, that would have triggered emotions in me too. *hug*

[crazycatlady6]

Wow, those are a lot of triggers all rolled into one. I hope you had a good birthday.
