Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 I was glad to hear that I was not the only one who was having thoughts lately about how far along I would have been if only... It was interesting that others were recently having the same thoughts. For me, it really came on strong last Thursday. It was my the day before my last day at my hell job (YAY!), and they had hired a temp that would be taking over before they hired someone else. In walks the temp that I would be training, and she is definitely pregnant. What amazed me the most, I think, is just how big her belly was and that when I asked her, she said that she is due in July. Of course my mind did the math instantly and I thought about how big I would be by now since my baby was due June 9th. It struck me, I think, because I hadn't seen anyone else that I knew was due around the same time, and I hadn't really stopped to think just how far along I would be or what I would look like. Ah, grieving is like peeling back the layers of an onion. Just when I thought I had thought of everything related to my ep, I find even more to think about. I was geniunely happy for her, though, and couldn't help but kind of want to live vicariously, so I asked her about more about her baby and joined her excitement. I have always been fascinated by pregnant women, and now I still am, even if it is a little more tender to think about it. I haven't gotten incredibly sad about this (although I know that it could strike me differently at any given moment and send me bawling), but it did make me stop and think and wish for what would have been.
