 Well, Friday would've been my EDD. I'm so depressed. I hate this. I hoped I'd be pg again before this time came. Not that it would make it better, just something to look forward to. I'm gonna try to keep myself busy this week, so I may not be on much! I should be o'ing in the next few days, to hopefully we will catch the eggie!! I'm just not much in the mood, but I have to make myself dtd. I just feel so sad about what could have been. Did any of you do something special the edd of your loss? If so, I'd like some ideas. I'd like to do or get something that would be like a remembrance or something, not sure what. Thanks for listening.

I completely understand!!! That first year after a loss is really tough...all the "milestones"...
I've gotten into balloons since my loss.
I've lost several family members since losing Avery and I do balloons for them all...Mother's Day last year was HUGE!!!
I had four balloon bouquets stuffed into my little Saturn...it's funny now!
I hope you find the perfect "something" you're looking for!
Always with hugs!
Dawna

I'm so sorry Michelle!! 
When Quinn's due date came last month, I was a mess. I also thought it would be worse than it was, I think my little guy was up there looking out for me, trying to get me to stay sane.
I hate that these days have to come!! You will get that  before you know it!!

Michelle, I am so sorry. I am dreading that day myself. I hope you are able to ovulate and get pregnant this month. That would make everything a million times better!!!

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry and know this must be a tough week for you. I'll be sending you tons of hugs and prayers. I don't know how I'll do when my first EDD comes up. Aspen's is next month.
Maybe you could write a poem for your little one or buy a necklace with their birthstone so you have something physical to hold close to your heart...

Michelle
I don't really have any advice for you because I am not there yet (coming up in June...), but I just wanted to send you some (((hugs))))
Hope the week goes by quickly and I hope you have a beautiful BFP soon!!

I thought I would fall apart on my EDD...I didn't. I think everyone deals with things different. I feel blessed to have been a mom to her for the 14weeks I was given with her.
No matter what you feel that day will be normal. Even if you lay in bed and cry all day, do whatever makes you feel right. About what to do special... I have started donating to the Ronald McDonald House in my babies memory. It makes me feel good even if it is just small amounts.
I will send lots of calming.... stress free vibes your way. Hopefully your angel will send you a healthy BFP. If you need anything just ask.... we are all here for you ALWAYS!

Michelle,
EDD's & Angelversaries are so difficult.....so many ladies have done so many beautiful things to remember their angels.
On my EDD last May, we planted rose bushes for the baby....peach,white & red....all summer long it gave me something to take care of...I found peace every time I was in the rose garden. this May, I will probably add to it.
I hope you get through the day without too much difficulty. Please know that we are here for you !
~HUGS~

You ladies are all so amazing! I don't know how I would've made it through everything without all your love and support. I'm so lucky to have found JM and each and every one of you. Thank you for making me feel better! You all mean the world to me!!!

Michelle, I am so sorry, I know this week is going to be rough for you. My EDD is coming up this month (4-18) so I know how you feel. I havne't decided yet if I am going to do anything on that date. I have thought about getting some kind of memorial jewelry for myself for baby's due date/mother's day.
I hope you are feeling better and you know I hope you get your sticky BFP very very soon!
