They should be here. <br /><br />Lots of love, friend.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544769404944379041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301381980324740212.post-86318893012379105502016-06-04T13:58:21.690-07:002016-06-04T13:58:21.690-07:00I've gotten the, "Well, these things happ...I've gotten the, "Well, these things happen for a reason" thing, implying that Eliza died because otherwise she would have been imperfect or unhealthy. And I want to scream. And the whole phrase "Everything happens for a reason" makes me want to scream, sometimes when it's stenciled on wall hangings in people's bathrooms, but especially when it comes out of someone's mouth like word vomit that I want to shove back down their throats.<br /><br />Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301381980324740212.post-71659446186967282202016-06-04T05:54:27.036-07:002016-06-04T05:54:27.036-07:00Oh Nora, these conversations are the worst, truly....Oh Nora, these conversations are the worst, truly. "Maybe next time you'll have a girl" - dear God, who says that? I mean, to anyone, in any situation? <br /><br />People never fail to astound me. I tell strangers I have two girls and am expecting my third (I rarely say N died, unless they want to get into ages etc). Honestly, the looks of pity, the 'oh no your poor husband' comments.<br /><br />It's enough to drive me to drink, or violence, or both :)<br /><br />I had a different painful conversation today. Standing at a kids' party with my 29 week bump. <br /><br />Other mum: "it's tiring the second time around isn't it?"<br />Me: "..."<br />Other mum: "the first time you get to look after yourself and rest, it's so different when you have another little one to run around after"<br /><br />God, I so wanted to say I'VE DONE THAT! I'VE DONE 33 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY WITH A TWO YEAR OLD, ONLY TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT MY BABY. AND I'M DOING IT AGAIN (hopefully with a better outcome)! ANY IDEA HOW THAT FEELS?<br /><br />The gender thing is such utter, utter bullshit. We don't get to pick our children. We don't get to pick which ones live and which ones die, which ones we raise every day and which ones we carry in our hearts. <br /><br />And we love them all, equally.Life, Loss and Little Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830548255167235625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301381980324740212.post-52031951306270633112016-06-04T05:52:43.634-07:002016-06-04T05:52:43.634-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Life, Loss and Little Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830548255167235625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301381980324740212.post-70850157088795491582016-06-03T20:23:06.835-07:002016-06-03T20:23:06.835-07:00Oh my goodness, what a bitch!

[And that is why I usually try not to tell strangers about Olivia when we can avoid it, I know most of the time it goes ok but the times it goes downhill, it goes really badly.] And I seriously hate when people make rude comments about having all boys right in front of them. I need to come up with some bitchy comebacks for that.Angienoreply@blogger.com
