Thankfully I haven't been invited to any since I lost Hope. I think I would have thrown up on the invites. You're brave, and you're an inspiration.

I'm going to my 'first' shower this Sunday.. I'm afraid of the small talk, the people (and I know NO one but the guest of honor!)asking how many children I have.. oohing over my obvious pregnant belly - assuming that I WILL have a baby at the end of it all, and a playmate for my friends baby, just a couple months apart in age, they'll be! How exciting, How fun!!! Except I knew 10 different friends and relatives that had babies last year, they all took theirs home, I didn't. They were supposed to be Dresden's playmates - they're not. I also feel sad looking at other peoples pregnant bellies, esp. ones who don't know my story.. I feel like they have no idea how horribly wrong it could go, I feel sad that they may be the next 1 out of 100 women to experience such a horrifying loss.. but who would want to think about that during such a wonderful time in life? I know I didn't.Shannon Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288990166879426608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-51307435870784267872009-06-01T13:48:53.686-04:002009-06-01T13:48:53.686-04:00"Thank you for being here."
