I can't decide if I hate working in that department or love it. It makes me want a baby even more, but it also makes me miss the baby I lost more, too. A couple of my coworkers are pregnant, too. I made a great friend there, Amanda, who has also had a miscarriage. We met in that department oddly enough. It was so.. comforting to finally meet someone my age IRL who has experienced a loss. I would never wish this on anyone of course, but at the same time, we really were a huge encouragement to each other. She's not married though and her miscarriage was when she was 18.. she was around 17 weeks. I was only 5 or 6 weeks. She's not really ttc right now. It was still nice to meet someone IRL and who has experienced a loss and who is my age. She said "Working in this department makes me want a baby so bad." I simply said "Me too."

She's really cool. It's great working in that department. We can just chat when it slows down enough we can put things away.

My job makes my baby fever worse than it already is.

I definitely know what you mean. I used to work at Babies R Us and then worked at Sears and was an assistant manager and one of my main duties was to oversee the children's department. It's a love/hate relationship, haha.

That is so cool that you met a new friend and one that you can relate to! That will make going to work a lot more enjoyable. I give you a lot of credit, I don't know if I could work in a baby section.

Steal the lucky BFP blinkie - maybe it will bring you a BFP!

It's so wonderful that you have met someone you can connect with, even though I wish neither or you had to ever have losses. I avoid the baby departments in stores right now, I just yearn for a little one even more when I see all the cute outfits. Both of you are very strong young ladies (((HUGS)))

*hugs* It's definitely a love/hate relationship. I worked as a cashier at sears for a while. After my second loss I flat out requested that she stopped scheduling me over in kids. I just couldn't do it. After a while I made my way over there and I even started preferring that I work on that side. (I was next to jewelry and bonded with the jewelry manager...she lost her 10 day old son to ancephaly.)

Thanks so much ladies. Definitely a love-hate relationship there. I wouldn't have been able to work in the baby section just a month or so ago. I'm doing a lot better there. I even meet a lot of customers who have lost babies. That's also a huge blessing. Obviously I wish we never had losses, but at least we know we aren't alone.
