Thursday night I told DH we HAD to finish our Christmas shopping or I was going to have a fit. Off we went to pick up the last few things for our families. We weren't even near the baby stuff when it began, we were near the tissues actually which turned out to be fortuitous. All of a sudden I was reminded of a conversation my mother and I had a couple years previous around Christmas time. I don't even remember who told it now but...
One of us knew someone who was pregnant. The woman announced it at Christmas to her parents by giving them t-shirts that said #1 Grammy and #1 Grampy. I know my mom hopes someday that I announce my pregnancy in a similar way.
Standing there in Target though I was just overcome with such sadness that once again she won't have the promise of a grand-baby under the tree....

I couldn't probably even count the number of times I have cried in Target...or been on the verge. I don't know what it is about that freaking store!!! But it certainly doesn't stop me from going there.
I hope your holiday is great and that you are able to enjoy the season without the constant reminders and advice from everyone else.
Happy Holidays!

I'm sorry :(
We were to have our 10 day old with us this Christmas and dont..so I completely understand how you feel.
I think that one of the most suffocating parts of IF is feeling like other people's dreams are being taken away from them along with ours.
I'm sorry that you had a difficult trip to Target. I hope that you're able to enjoy your holiday.
