M co-worker (who sits in the cube right next to me) just announced on Facebook that his wife is pregnant with their second child. They are due in November...I was due October 20th. I feel like I'm going to cry. I only have three more weeks of work left, I hope to God he doesn't spread the news at work. I don't think I could stand people stopping by his desk to congratulate him.
*Update* Well my husband came home and I had a really good cry on his shoulder and we snuggled on the couch for a bit in complete silence. There was really no need to talk, that's the good thing about being married. You already know what the other person is thinking and feeling. Talking about it wasn't going to mend our broken hearts. I'm going to try and put this out of my mind and just hope he doesn't talk about it too much on Facebook or post ultrasound pics. If he does, well, that's what the Hide button is for.
I HATE Facebook... fot that very reason!! I'm so sorry. Come on over to the East coast and know that you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteUgh, this is not what you needed! I felt like everyone in the known universe was announcing their pregnancies within weeks of my miscarriage. Hearing other people get congratulated is sooo tough. Have a good cry if you need it, and know you are not alone in this...
ReplyDeleteSo I just became a stalker of your blog a few days ago. Thanks for your writing. It helps us other "infertiles" know we arent alone with this.
ReplyDeleteJust 3 days ago I found out a good friend is 10 weeks preg. On facebook. Since then I have decided to stay off FB for a while. Maybe even until I get pregnant. I just cant take the pregnancy announcements or the symptom updates. I just cant. I've never been a jealous person but this infertility crap has really taken its toll. Stay strong girlie....and stay off FB!!!!!
Ugh. I am so sorry! That just sucks. ((HUGS))

Sweetie...big hugs for you. Fran
ReplyDeleteHugs to you. I have been thinking of you. (And I can't believe that your move is coming so quickly! Only 3 more weeks at work!)
ReplyDeleteGosh, that totally sucks! I'm so sorry. Facebook is so evil. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteUnless he is a good friend...block him on FB...you are moving on...and you are strong...glad that DH is there for you. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. This sucks so bad. I agree with Scottie Mom. You can hide his posts w/o de-friending him. I am thinking about doing that with a girl I grew up next door to and went to school with- She is newly pregnant with her first and posts all the time about how big her "little bean" is. Makes me want to wretch.
ReplyDelete((HUGS)) Our time will come. It just has to.
I hate FB sometimes. It's the most informal informative network for infertiles there is going. Hoping that the next 3wks sail by and you don't have to deal with too many pregnancy woah's from him.

Ugh..nothing worse that the FB birth announcement unless it's from the next cube. I hope there's not too much fall out. Grit your teeth and hang on.
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW!
Facebooks if not our friend! I feel the same way...and it seems like there's a baby on the news every evening here, too. ((Hugs)) coming your way!

At my office.. a woman came in the flaunt her newborn grandson and another to show sonograms of her soon to be born grandson. Several women around me are pregnant and it makes the sting of our recent miscarriage that much harder. I don't think I could have made it through this without my very understanding husband (to which I can never thank enough for simply letting me cry on his shoulder). Big hugs to you. I am thinking of you!
