So, lately I have been getting doctor and hospital bills for all of the lovely stuff that has gone on in the last month or so. It seems like every day that I get a bill I also get a catalog, magazine, or some other baby related mail. It is like some cruel joke someone is playing on me. I have no idea how I got signed up to receive all this stuff, but my goodness does it mess with my head. I have been doing so well in the moving on department that it is not really nice for companies to send me cute baby stuff, especially when I have to get bills that remind me on the same day. My plan is to just keep giving this stuff away. It has good coupons on it and all. I can't use them, because I do not need to set up a baby registry or buy strollers or clothes or furniture. I wish I could just call one number, tell them what happened, and move on! I will never forget my first little one, but the constant reminders of how far along I should be and what I should be doing are not good.
That is all. Sorry for sharing the frustration.

Don't be sorry for sharing OR being frustrated. First, it's your blog and we can choose to read it or not (the first rule of the internet). Second, from what I've found, there is very little room for allowing Mothers (and Fathers) to grieve and adjust after miscarriages. It takes how long it takes - don't worry about not being at a certain point by a certain time. And don't forget, sometimes, where we want to be (emotionally) takes more time than we would like. But don't every apologize for frustration! You're human and it's a human emotion.
