Who is this person and where did she come from?
I really truly need to stay away from the internet. I'm going to post this and hope that no one gets offended. I'd say that I'd be upset if they do get offended but honestly I won't.
So I'm on facebook, checking my friends profiles and notice that someone that was in the same sorority as me has an ultrasound picture of her baby as her profile picture. It's an early ultrasound because the baby looks like a blob.
So I actually look at her profile. She is one week ahead of me and announced her pregnancy on facebook. She was actually 7 weeks pregnant when she announced it. I don't care if you see the heartbeat on an ultrasound, I personally don't think you should announce your pregnancy on facebook until you are past 12 weeks. I have known too many people who see the heartbeat on one ultrasound and miscarry later.
Everyone is all like "Yay! A little legacy!" I should feel happy for her but I can't help but feel jealous that my sorority sisters didn't even get the chance to know I was pregnant. I only told the ones I was closest to. I'm just so sad I never got to even imagine my baby (if it was a girl) as growing up and joining a sorority.
It sucks to have to break the sad news that your pregnancy is over to people. I know because we've had to do it. We didn't tell many people but it's still been hard. What's even harder is to try and explain an ectopic pregnancy. I don't know how to explain it without it sounding medical because that's what I'm used to.
Everyday is a different flood of emotions. I feel sad, angry, frustrated and jealous all in a time span of probably 20 minutes. I have stupid little melt downs over the smallest things. I don't even feel like myself right now.
I know all of this takes time. I am trying to be patient but I wish time were going a little faster. I want to feel like myself again. I want to not feel like an emotional basket case.
I'm trying to be patient and know that time and prayers will help to heal us. Thanks for continuing to support us. We are so thankful.

Its okay to feel everything you are feeling. Let yourself. Be Patient with yourself.
I agree with anonymous. Let the emotions run their course..
Have fun and RELAX in Hilton Head! Thanks for the talk yesterday. Love you :)
I agree with you, I think people should wait until around 12 weeks too. I also feel the same way you do, when people announce it at like 5 weeks and then have happy healthy newborns 9 months later and I'm still here waiting. Go easy on yourself, and let you emotions run it's ok.
