EDD coming up :(

With my EDD quickly approaching (03.06) I am dreading the day. I am dreading the unexected of not knowing what to expect with myself emotionally...

Here's my question to all you ladies...did you go to work on your EDD or take the day off?

I guess it just depends on how you normally deal with things. Maybe you should take off or maybe being at work would keep your mind busy.

If you take off try and find something nice to go do. Lunch in the park or something.

I haven't hit either of my babies angelversaries yet but I am sure in May and September when I do I will not work that day. I work from home so I'll just not schedule meetings those days. My heart won't be in it.

I don't know what I will do when that day comes in June. I will probably still work, but we'll have to see.

I do like Jenn's idea of a picnic in the park too!

I guess my loss date is more significant for me. But, june hasn't come around yet... who knows how I will feel.

I babysit so I can't really take a day off but if I could have I would. It was a very emotional day and I ended up being really cranky and just wanting to be alone. Just don't forget that we are here for you if you need us!!! ((((HUGS))))

My EDD just passed and I stayed home all day and did nothing.

I think keeping my mind off of it would be best for me, so I'd probably go to work.

Mine is coming up in May--the 5th which will be hard for me to forget as it is my mom/stepdad's anniversary, my best friends b-day and cinco de Mayo which we usually celebrate!!! So I plan to light a candle and have a little memorial with DH

I'm taking the day off from home child care and any other job I may potentially have then, for both of my EDD's. But I won't mourn. I plan on celebrating. I'm going to bake cakes or cupcakes, with candles, and have a private birthday ceremony. I'll celebrate the life they did have, not mourn the loss of the one they never will.

Is that stupid?

I think that's sweet Brandi and a good idea.

On their angelversaries are when I will mourn, but I'll mourn in a positive way. Look through what I have from the pregnancies and remember them for what we learned about them. Birthday's are for celebrating, angerversaries are for mourning.
