Dh & I usually go to a movie, or he might take me to a scrapbook store or two. His mother is long dead & mine lives a two-hour plane ride away, so we're pretty much able to do as we please.

I certainly cannot leave the house. Not an option. I will probably sit in the house with DH, watch TV, play on the computer - in other words, act as if it is simply another Sunday. My mom will get a lavish floral arrangement as a consolation prize for my absence.<BR/><BR/>I am going to get a referral to an MFM/peri after my whole "retained products" crisis ends, here in Chicago, and if I like them I will forward you the name...Bustedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926427330808873296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-12854327654358275312008-04-26T10:15:00.000-04:002008-04-26T10:15:00.000-04:00I'm leaning towards avoiding, in fact I think we m...I'm leaning towards avoiding, in fact I think we may hit the cabin where we get no internet or cell service. Maybe. Well, shit there's people there... ugh. Hmm, maybe Tash is onto something. <BR/>Our anniversary is the 13th too, so we typically celebrate that weekend.<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you, hope the HSG is going (or went) OK.

Maybe go somewhere for a long weekend and pretend that mother's day is not a real holiday. So I am right there with you. <BR/><BR/>Good luck today with the procedure. I think it sounds like a good idea for you to go to a big city teaching hospital and get a second opinion.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-66727816446820171862008-04-26T07:57:00.000-04:002008-04-26T07:57:00.000-04:00I just came from Julia's blog where I told her I p...I just came from Julia's blog where I told her I plan on hiding in the closet and playing video games. (Hit her up for names, she's good, she knows people.) I'm going to ignore it to the best of my ability, and if that involves booze or sports, so be it.<BR/><BR/>You have a lot on your plate upcoming -- travel is a nice distraction. We set travel for *after* the yuk, just as sort of a focus to get us through. Worked.<BR/><BR/>If you're reading this and haven't left yet, take some pain killer before going in.

I think travel is a great idea. sure it will all be there when you return, but you can escape for a while and enjoy each other, celebrate your marriage, and just be with each other on these tough days. <BR/><BR/>for mother's day we will avoid all things kid-related if possible, and probably take a bike ride, a long walk, or head to the beach. oh, and I'll probably think of my angel boy and cry a bit too. ~lunalunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-72959303977815771842008-04-26T01:57:00.000-04:002008-04-26T01:57:00.000-04:00Last year we went to the Arboretum, to look at lil...Last year we went to the Arboretum, to look at lilacs. There were babies there, but not too many. No celebration, no cards, no nothing. <BR/><BR/>I am loving the Boston idea. And yes, I have a name for you, and a phone number, and a personal word if I have to. Not Brigham. The other place, you know. Zaftig's. Yum...

Still a sad day, but there was less time to sit around and be sad, and we weren't surrounded by people who expected us to be a particular way or have particular feelings on the day. <BR/><BR/>As for Mother's day? After two years of infertility, after being laped by friends who were less than gracious about their ability to get pregnant (and stay pregnant) like falling off a log, this was the mother's day that I didn't have to feel like a useless, dried up, unable to concieve prune. This was the mother's day I got to join the stupid, damn club.<BR/><BR/>I'm not talking about Mother's day, and I'm sure as hell not celebrating it. I'm banning it, and children from my presence. I'm renting as many movies as it takes to pretend the whole damn day isn't happening.Mrs. Spithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386820063407910064noreply@blogger.com
