I'm so sorry for your loss of William and Ethan. We just passed our due date, as well, on March 11th. It was the saddest weekend of my entire life. I felt like I needed to get on the other side of it to really feel like I could move forward. To get over my "I should still be pregnant" anger. It sounds like you dealt with it beautifully. And don't you love how NYC can feel like such a small town sometime, bumping into folks you know in a city of 8 million people? xoLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719638228428478850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-53676081754766028212011-03-29T13:28:20.334-04:002011-03-29T13:28:20.334-04:00My due date came six weeks after I lost Eliza and ...My due date came six weeks after I lost Eliza and it was so impossibly hard. It may have been my lowest point of all. (I know it's impossible to rank these things, but still, it was terrible). So I am thinking of you and your sweet boys. I love their names. I can relate to what you're feeling about trying again--I feel so conflicted. I try to remember that every good thing requires some kind of risk--risk of failure, risk of loss, risk of pain. It is terrifying to try again when we're still feeling so fragile. But I'm afraid if I wait until I feel "ready" that I'll never, ever get there.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-59811793546046734642011-03-29T13:25:58.888-04:002011-03-29T13:25:58.888-04:00Thinking of you and your boys.

I found it helpful mostly. <br /><br />Due dates are hard. Even this year, my 2nd time through our due date, it was a bit harder. But I also think that was the point where things begin to get just a little bit easier, especially for those of us who had a large gap between due date and when they were born.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807174691448146340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-76565498016385866782011-03-27T18:18:02.819-04:002011-03-27T18:18:02.819-04:00Thinking of you and your boys today....

I'm just starting to scrape my way back out of one (fingers crossed) the due date for me was like you said... realistically not much.. but emotionally for me, it hit like a ton of bricks! Hoping you're on the other side of it now, and continue to do well! <br />I'll be cheering for you when you reach the time for your FET, whenever you feel ready!<br />Sending hugs your way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-84585301073165248052011-03-27T15:29:39.298-04:002011-03-27T15:29:39.298-04:00An important milestone timewise to have passed. ...An important milestone timewise to have passed. Although difficult I think you came through well. Our's is in about a month and it's looming so large for me. Good to see someone else come through it ok. Healing is so slow, I know , but I think it's somehow happening for both you and I.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363407716857644014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-16601883677239693952011-03-27T14:47:45.322-04:002011-03-27T14:47:45.322-04:00Thinking of you & your precious boys today.

Glad you were able to spend the day yesterday doing something positive together. <br />As someone who went through my first FET following IVF this past December I can tell you it is absolutely SO much easier and less complicated! Sending thoughts of love & hope your way as you consider when and how to move forward in building your family ((hugs))rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-20834070998243735802011-03-27T14:28:31.347-04:002011-03-27T14:28:31.347-04:00Thinking of you and your sweet boys today...
