Greg and I went to a party last night. There were about 20 couples there: three were sporting pregnant bellies, another three had newborns, and about ten had children under the age of three. This did not put me in a good mood, and, as I didn't really know anyone, I became very anti-social and sat in the corner with the one couple I knew. They are in their 40s and do not have children. However, the guy would not stop commenting, "Everyone has kids!" "Look at all the pregnant bellies!" "That girl looks like she is about to pop!" "That baby is so cute!"
I thought my head was going to explode, so after about an hour of this torture, I had to grab Greg and ask if we could please leave. He was super sweet and obliged. I cried a bit in the car - the first time I have in about two weeks, although I have come close several times.
I hate crying because it jacks up my sinuses. The crying, combined with high mold counts and me slacking on my sinus rinses, caused me to wake up with horrendous night sweats last night. I had to change all of my clothes and move to a different spot in the bed because everything was so soaked (thank goodness we have a king-size bed). Fun times.
Luckily, I am in a much better mood today.

I am so sorry that it was such a hard night for you. I cant imagine your feelings but I am seding my hugs and prayers to you. You are such a strong woman and I admire you and all your strength. I hope that today is a better day for you.
I'm sorry you had a rough night at the party. It's so hard to be around 1 pg lady or baby but with dozens sure doesn't make matters any better.

Ugh I'm so sorry Kristen. Yeah that does suck pretty badly! We just got back from Bermuda and I unfortunately had a meltdown about the miscarriage on vacation. I was trying to suck it up and be tough, but after seeing pregnant belly in a bathing suit one after another, i just had to lose it. It bums you out because I thought to myself, I was supposed to be pregnant too. So after my huge mascara-running, crying fest I too felt much better! Although I'm sure that mixed drink I had helped too ;) I have to realize It's ok to bad days...hang in there. You're not alone...
