Michelle it was ok, bit stressful to start with coz DH had forgotten that it was Thomas' EDD but we had a session with our counsellor in the afternoon & he asked about it a little. Actually it was really good, he started by asking if I didn't mind he's like to know what sort of emotional impact it has on me by being the EDD. I answered him that in my rational mind I know that it is very rare that a baby comes on its EDD & that for all I knew we might have already had our bubs, or been on the way to the hospital or even still be waiting in a day or two for his arrival, but to me the arrival of his EDD signaled that there would be no such event for us this year. That it kinda felt like the dream really was over coz there wouldn't be the outcome that we presumed there would be when we announced our pregnancy. He totally understood & told me that he hoped I had found time to have a cry over the loss of that dream & reality & to take some time to myself at some stage.
