epic fail of a day

This is more of a vent I guess if you want to call it blogging then so be it but today was just a really crappy day. Found out I will get to spend the holidays alone and DH will get to miss the first appt with the baby which we are supposed to be having a u/s with as well. I spent the afternoon bawling my eyes out to the point my head hurts. I am sure it is largely from my hormones but I don't care. BLAH. Trying to remain upbeat and not stress out but I am a complete mess.

I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to be away from loved ones at holiday times. :( Maybe have a hot chocolate and try sleep a little bit?

Thanks, I've spent Christmas alone before this one just hurts a bit more. It's our first year married and now I am pregnant.

I'm sorry. I know it seems like the end of the world right now, but can you skype or facetime with him on Christmas Day? The first appointment is usually just taking history and peeing in a cup. Nothing terribly interesting or exciting for him to miss. He'll be able to come with you to other, more exciting appointments, don't lose heart!

You'll make it. Take a warm shower, pamper yourself with some lotion and a warm hot chocolate or apple cider. Then curl up with a book/movie and go to sleep.

Awww. I'm so sorry too! This is only one holiday to get through right? Can you go to a church service on Christmas Eve? They are beautiful. AND lots of people show up that aren't regulars! I'm a pastors wife Call your dr and see if you can record the u/s!

Yes we will most def do the facetime. As for the first appt, we are having a u/s so that will be first look at baby he is kinda crushed. It so happens that the 28th is his birthday too so he is super bummed about all this. He wanted to be there to see the baby.

Would he be available to facetime during the ultrasound? Do you think you can ask your doctor's office if that could be allowed because it would be really special for you? That way he could "see". Its not quite the same as being there in person, but its as close as you can get! Would that work?

I made him promise me that he would be available for facetime on that day and I will call the OB tomorrow and see if they will allow me to do it but I don't think it would be too big of an issue. You are right its not the same but at least he won't miss it.

My hubby and I are military also but different branches. So its been hard trying to schedule time to go to appts together. He missed the first u/s where I got to see baby and the heartbeat because he was TDY on the opposite side of the US. It totally sucked. But he did get a pic msg and a short video so he could kinda see the u/s. Def not the same, but thats how it is when your a service member.
My hubby and I have been together almost 5 years and married DH is normal (high count and high motility) . I have PCOS and annovulatory hypothalamus. Clomid #1 BFN Clomid #2 in Oct 2012 w/ovidrel trigger and IUI #1 on 11/1/12. 11/17/12 BFP!

The being alone would upset me, too.

The ultrasound not so much. Guys don't get as attached as girls until the baby is born.

My hubby is military. He will miss all the u/s, all the holidays, and probably the birth.... Just remember and try to focus on everything your hubby will get to participate it. Trust me I know it's hard to be alone but it sounds like he will be back before you know it and be able to a apart of the rest of the pregnancy. Focus on those things. I like the ideas of the other ladies to Skype, etc... Hope that helps you some to get through....

 I second this because he is pretty upset he is going to miss it and he is always my baby this and the baby that. I think he is just as much attatched as me and super bummed he won't be there.

yeah ditto that for us as well. When I had my m/c, my husband broke down just as much as I did. When I got pregnant with our daughter he was just as interested and attached as I was. Didn't want to miss any appointments, talked to and rubbed my belly all the time, etc. Same thing this time. He's just rubbing bloat and my chub right now but to him it's baby. He cried when I told him I was pregnant again. 

OP, I hope he is able to FaceTime during the U/S. That would be amazing as a plan B.
