Navigating the ever changing road of life amidst the detours
in the quest to grow our family. It has been a roller coaster of hope and despair... and so it goes.
I looked at your schedule, and it looks like you have a horrible stomach flu. But you didn't know that until the last minute. That way they won't get mad at you for not planning around it.
*groan* i hate that. you'll find a way. be out of town the first weekend, and sick from some exotic bug you got on your fabulous weekend away by the second weekend. And take the fabulous getaway! Just don't get the bug!
So unfair :( Just know that you don't need an excuse to be out of town. Honestly, going to a baby shower is the last bit of torment that you need to inflict on yourself. Politely say that you have a conflict and send a little gift and be done with the tormenting thoughts. It's okay to not go :)
Why we feel as if we have to justify these things I don't know, but we don't HAVE to DO anything that makes us uncomfortable or weepy. Protect yourself.
If it makes you feel any better, I got 2 bact to back x-mas cards that said "baby XYZ due in May". Made me cry..happy for them, but sad for me :(
You are more than welcome to come visit me. :)
ReplyDelete(Hugs) I am very sorry.
Baby showers suck. Grrrr!
ReplyDeleteYou can visit me out here in sunny CA. But, I know how much those suck. I am so sorry.

ReplyDeleteI avoid those like the plague. Ick!
