I don't know what to do. I was just reminded that when I go to my family reunion in June, which I was excited about, will now be spent probably crying and being miserable. My expecting sister and her husband will be there, and she will be a month shy of due then, and then my cousin is also having her baby, a month before the reunion. I don't know what to do. I am thinking about just forgetting going this time. I know its still far away, but I know that my feelings of jealous and anger, etc, are very strong. If I'm still feeling this way by April, I will not be able to go, since I have to "rsvp" by then. I just don't know what to do. I am thinking about trying to get pregnant, but at the same time I'm scared out of my mind to miscarry again. Even though "there's nothing wrong with me" if it happened before, it could happen again.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That being said, why would I be jealous or envious of other pregnant women? I would never want them to have to go through pain and suffering just because I was. I knew I needed to find a way to deal with pregnant women because right now, i am surrounded by pregnant friends and co-workers in my life, and it seems every week someone new tells me they are expecting. It has been difficult to take because I wanted our baby so badly, but at the same time, I'm happy that others don't have to go through what I went through and am still going through.
I am surprised at my strength somedays and I know I will be OK!
I had to throw a baby shower for a co-worker last week, and although I'm still sad that we have lost our baby, i am so happy that things are going well for my co-worker and she deserves my support and best wishes.
Yesterday, I even went shopping for maternity clothes with another one of my friends who told me last week she is 12 weeks pregnant. Of course, again I'm still sad that I can't be sharing the experience of being pregnant with her, but I am so happy for her that she is doing well with her pregnancy. I told her that although I'm going through one of the toughest things I've ever dealt with in my life, I am so very happy for her. I can still be sad for me, but I am not going to let my experience stop me from celebrating all the good in other people's lives.
One thing I've learned from the experience of losing a baby is that life is too short and it definitely is too short to not celebrate all the good in our lives!!!
Please try to have a good week and find one thing in your life to celebrate!!
