hi kiwigirl,
we didnt forget about you!!!
Venting is fine, thats what we are here for. I think its great that we can come here and talk about those things, like your soon to be edd and your m/c, we can relate and understand eachother.
Its so hard the way that "others" tend to ignore tha fact or just expect you to pick yourself up and get on with it, not realising that sometimes its just not that easy. no one likes to bring it up or acknowledge that there was a baby (the beginnings iykwim) and it was real for us.
I get you about the worrying if everthing is ok with being able to conceive again, I am sure we arent the only ones.
I hope you can enjoy your brother in laws party without too much sadness, maybe take some time during the day to have a little pity party (there is nothing wrong with that occasionally!) for yourself and remember your little angel, but also look forward to all the things you have yet to experience, a healthy pregnancy with your dh, your upcoming trip (sounds so exciting, am very jealous!) and of course a night out.
sorry if I sound preachy its not my intention, sending you lots of big hugs.
