It was nice but it was hard for me. She actually wasnt able to be there as they had put her in the hospital for her blood pressure. It was nice to go but I am sad. It did make me feel better about things that there was another lady that was older that had her last child at 44 which is how old my friend is. I am starting to feel like my time is up. I am 36. So I guess I still have time right? LOL
It was a great shower just made me want our little baby even more and sad about the baby we lost.

I am sorry it was hard on you, but I understand. Sounds like you were able to connect with a lady there and that is good. ((Hugs)) I hope your time is soon!

I have only been to one baby shower that wasn't mine since Cora died. And mine for my rainbow babies were after the babies were born.

I'm glad you were able to get some encouragement about your age though. You do still have time.

I got invited to a baby shower right after I lost my baby, and I couldn't go.. The friend of ours mom told me that I should come she wants me there. I asked her you really want me there so I can remember what I just lost and won't be having.. I give you props hun..

You still have time... I am 35, only a year behind you... I have only been to one.. it was SIL.. I made it 20 min after she got thier.. and had to leave. I should have been 8 1/2 months pregnant at her shower. We were only 3 1/2 weeks apart. I knew I would have had a girl... and that is what she was having. So I had to walk by a big pile of pink gifts.. and be reminded of what I lost. I cried the whole way home. It was the hardest 20 mins....... HUGS I am so sorry you had to go through that. HUGS

I am glad I made it through without crying. I had prepared myself for it for awhile. I knew it was coming. I decided I would sow seeds into her baby shower in the hopes that I would see a harvest some day. Meaning my own baby. I bought her quite a bit of items. I know someday I will be sitting at my own baby shower awaiting the arrival of my own sweet sweet baby.
