It's hard. I don't really feel like being in the holiday spirit. I just wish I could fast forward to January 2nd to be honest with you.

Last night we went to a Christmas party our friends were having and I just could not have fun no matter what I did. I just feel so removed and disappointed. Especially when I'm drinking...I just feel like I shouldn't be drinking, I should be pregnant. 

At the same time, it's kinda nice to go through the holidays being able to enjoy ALL of the foods, and not hide not drinking.

Please be safe everyone and enjoy the holidays as much as possible!

I'm actually doing a lot better than I thought I would be. I had my procedure on Friday and am having minimal pain/spotting. I've taken 1 advil.

I agree with FemmePink on going out. I feel weird drinking when I go out. It is crazy to me to think we would be announcing to everyone this week and now we have no story to tell. Everything has gone back to the way it was, almost too quickly. It's almost like I never was pregnant, it was just this long dream and I finally woke up when I came out of surgery. Even my husband agreed. I went into surgery an emotional basket case and came out totally fine and back to normal.

I think I am driving my husband me just saying crazy stuff like "let's go to China" or "let's spend money fixing our place up", "lets go snowboarding" when just two weeks ago we were hoarding money for a baby. I think I am just trying to keep myself distracted by the whole thing by suggesting things that I wasn't going to be able to do before.

My sister is the only one in my family that knows what is going on. I told her after we found out there was no development because the same exact thing happened to her before xmas 2009. I feel very lucky to have someone close to me that understands exactly what I'm going through and said she would try to help out if anyone asked questions about having children during the holidays.

I'm totally doing this, too. All of the sudden it's like I need "something else" to plan or be excited for or think about. DH thinks I've lost it.

This is me too! Im signing up for a half marathon in April (since we are TTA until the summer now), I just had a contractor come over to our house to give us a quote for building a new closet, and I've been online all day looking at car prices for when I have to trade in my car this spring. Basically, I'm doing anything I can to have a plan and something to look forward to (not to mention I still have grad school to keep me busy)! I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this.

I'm pretty much a lump. I feel ok emotionally, I just don't feel like doing a lot physically, so aside from some light cleaning I've just sat around watching tv or playing on the computer. I realized last night that I've only left the house once in the last two weeks to go somewhere other than work or the doctors, and that was only because I really had to get groceries before we started the whole process Thursday. I've really got to get my butt in gear. We've got two family things tomorrow and I could just really care less at the moment, but I'm hoping afterward I'll be glad I got out of the house.

I had a really rough week, for the first time in a month it was like I took a step back instead of forward. Everyone around you being excited about Christmas is very hard.
That being said this weekend has been better. I am proud to say I am on my way home from Christmas with my pregnant SIL due one month before me and there was NO crying!!!!! This is the first pregnant friend I have been able to see. I did have to leave the room when family members would ask how her pregnancy was going but for the most part I feel good and feel like there has been progress.
I am also one month down from my 6 month sentence of no ttc, so 5 months to go.
Hoping all of you are finding comfort each and everyday and finding the peace you need.

It's been a tough few days since my m/c. I started crying in church during the songs but have been fine since coming home. The emotions come in waves and I hope I can make it thru a Christmas party tonight and Christmas in the next few days. Thank you for the check in. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one going thru these emotional phases. I told my H that all I want is for 2012 to be over. Well that and the bleeding to stop so I'm not constantly reminded of what I lost. 

I also agree with PP about drinking. It feels so weird to be doing something that a few weeks ago I was avoiding at all costs.  

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Thanks Alyson for starting us out! Ladies who are struggling, I am thinking of you and sending big hugs your way! 

I am doing good but still having my moments. I deleted my 1st friend on facebook she posted a baby bump and I just couldn't do it. I survived 2 family functions and only choked up once. I cried myself to sleep last night. Overall I just still feel disbelief that it happened even though I have been experiencing loss now longer than I got to experience being pregnant.  I think I just feel really sad.
