I still have a hard time with them. I wouldn't even write the next week (30 weeks, 31, etc etc) on the calendar until I was literally in that week. I couldn't write the week change ahead of time during B's pregnancy. With Andrew, I had that baby plotted out until he was 5 years old (practically). <br /><br />In the same sense, I had to hold my breath every Sunday as we neared the end of B's pregnancy because I was certain that if he were to die, it would be on a Sunday, like his brother. SO twisted and so irrational. But ya know... who says a mom who has experienced loss should be rational. Just know we understand you and to be kind on yourself during those times. Distractions are vital.B.

I hope that the days pass uneventfully because as far as I'm concerned, it is most definitely your turn.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-40342445220481764612012-04-01T16:08:31.190-04:002012-04-01T16:08:31.190-04:00I understand about dates.

They pain me when I lease expect it. Sometimes I am fine, other times I am not. <br />I pray that it is your turn to surpass those scary few weeks soon.ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-39851222932115224502012-04-01T11:17:52.616-04:002012-04-01T11:17:52.616-04:00Those two dates, the fourth and fifth, are our big...Those two dates, the fourth and fifth, are our biggest trigger dates, too. (Our daughter's sac ruptured the 4th and led us to have to decide our babies' fates that night while they still had heartbeats, and they were delivered on the 5th.) The first six months of 4/5 dates were hardest and I saw them coming. The 7 month anniversary caught me unaware...although after finding both DH and I moping around unmotivated, and then having DH go back to bed at about 10 a.m., I finally glanced at the calendar and thought, duh, no wonder. I imagine at some point, maybe in a couple of years, those dates will pass more easily, but I'm sure we won't be totally unaffected.<br /><br />Thinking of you, Jessica...Amy L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17013013895577702357noreply@blogger.com
