I am going to a baby shower for my cousin's wife on Saturday, the 2nd one I will be going to since my loss...the 1st one wasn't so bad, it was my friends first baby (she too has experienced loss) and I was so excited for her, I barely thought about my m/c (crazy right?). Anyways, this shower is seemingly harder for me to even think about...the reason being that I know there will be multiple people there that are pg and I don't know why, but being around these particular people makes it harder for me, although I am happy for them, especially because she is "advanced maternal age" and it's great that she was able to get pg again.

However, I am looking forward to seeing my cousin who has been TTC for years and had 2 losses - she is finally pg, if my calcs are correct, she is now 12 or 13 weeks, I am hoping she tells me tomorrow Her mom has a big mouth, as does everyone in my family, we aren't supposed to know, but we all do, I just want to be able to be excited for her openly...haha!

Anyways, thanks for letting me talk...haha! I have been in a funk, because we sort of TTC this month and I am pretty sure we missed the best opportunity - I am not looking forward to this 2WW, nor the end result...boo!

Yeah... Going to baby showers after experiencing a loss is a bit tough.. You've got the right attitude though... .... and about your 2ww.... don't rule it out as a possibility... fingers crossed for you!

I think you have a great attitude! And I am totally with you on the TWW. At this point until we get some known issues resolved I feel like we are just spinning our wheels. But it doesn't make it any easier when AF decides to appear.

Showers are hard after a loss, and especially when you think you are in a failed cycle.
But your attitude is great! I hope you are able to still have a good time!

You have a great attitude! I'm glad I didn't have to go through any showers since my loss. I can't handle this thought right now.

You have a great attitude! I didn't go to any baby showers after my losses. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it.

Thanks, ladies! I wasn't supposed to go to this one because we were supposed to be at the beach (would have been a great weekend for it too), but my parents decided to cancel and then my mom decided that she wanted to go to the pumpkin patch with my niece and my DD, so that is what we are doing instead...boo...lol!

In 2 weeks I am actually co-hosting my sisters baby shower, hoping to be so busy with this that I won't notice how slowly the 2WW is going

I agree, your attitude is awesome! I have been invited to a friend's shower, it's next week. I'm still not sure how I will feel when I'm there. I think I'll be fine now, but since it hasn't happened yet... just not sure.

Well, I survived but then they did a pregnancy belly shot of my sis, cousin and cousin's wife and I had to step away...I should have been in that photo. Oh well, my turn will come soon...I hope!
