IE Gals...how did you get thru the day?
I counted the minutes to the gtg all freakin' day. Being with Becki, Leslie, Sher, Rebecca, Leann, and Val was the most at ease I have felt since we got the news. I'm feeling really tense again now that I'm home. I just want to stay in the room all night and hold R close. DH is getting home late so I am feeling pretty empty. 
Re: IE Gals...how did you get thru the day?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Sorry I coudn't make the GTG. I didn't get home until after 4pm.
I was tired and stressed all day. I just got into a fight with my H too. I think not letting myself grieve got to me.
I'm really glad I went and I'm also so glad to be getting to know you girls better.
Hugs to everyone.
It was hit and miss I guess. Becki and I met up for lunch which was nice. It was good to see someone who knew.
My evil boss hag told me that "Death happens, you need to accept that. And don't bring your outside problems into work."
Please tell me you are kidding. Seriously. That is NOT okay to say.

WTF?????????? Insensitive B!!!TCH! Yea, it happens, it shoulda happened to her, not Jewels!
I am shocked. What a C U Next Tuesday. I want to toss a molotov cocktail in her office.

Holy crap Jenn! I so want to punch your boss in the face right now. I can't believe that!
I did ok, today. Wasn't very productive at work at all today. I think my CW was afraid to talk to me about anything because I was so quite. I'd be doing ok, than it would just hit all over again. The sadness is almost suffocating. I ate some dinner, pretty much the first meal I've eaten since yesterday.
What's worse is I have Jury Duty tomorrow, so I won't be able to check in with you gals tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get dismissed.
I made it through the day just being lazy at home with Mary. I managed to be slightly productive and organize the office. Sad, but now that death is on my mind I didn't want that hanging. If anything happened to me I want H to be able to find the things he needs.
I really should've tried to go to the gtg. I was home. I could have. I just couldn't bring myself to leave the house. Sorry.
Jenn-What a stupid b!tch of a co-worker. I have been getting pretty upset by the "comfort" people have tried giving me too. Nobody understands. Esp since I only met Jewels once IRL. They just don't understand how I could be so upset over it. It's quite frustrating. I had one person tell me that everything happens for a reason. And another tell me that Gaby won't know the difference (about knowing her Mom or not knowing her). Just stupid sh!t like that has been driving me to some serious anger.
This is truly disgusting.
I can't believe someone would even think that
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What the heck?!?!
I never knew my grandma, she passed away when I was a few months old and it hurts so much hearing about what a woderful woman she was and how much she loved me.
Hanging out with Jenn and then with everyone at the GTG helped alot. I left work a bit early, somehow I managed to see all of my kids.
Jenn - WOW. I just slapped your boss for you.
I kept this pretty quiet yesterday. Going through some internal stuff - so I tried to keep it in. Today, I talked with a CW of mine who went through something similar (on a different scale) with her family a couple of months ago (nephew born at 21 weeks, passed away just after being born). I talked to her about it - made me feel a bit better to just get it out. Jewelyn had a lifetime of memories ahead of her. It makes my heart ache for her - and for Phil and Gaby - for all of the memories they're going to miss.
Hi girls, I wish I could have made the GTG today, but I just got home from work. I did alright today. I was really happy to be very busy so at least my mind was really occupied. I am, however, extremely behind on my paperwork, because I couldn't concentrate at all. I lurked from my phone all day, and I thought of you guys all day. (((HUGS)))
Jenn you have a total b!tch for a boss! And I can't believe how insensitive some people are.
I really can't either. The person who said it tried to say it would be easier because she didn't lose her when she was 5 or older. She didn't know her. Just disturbing.
People's idea of comfort is really astounding. And not in a good way.
Today I went grocery shopping, tried unsuccessfully to get Charlie to nap, went for a walk, emailed with my homies, and went to the GTG. It was nice seeing everyone again and meeting Rebecca and Leann for the first time.
I am still kind of in a state of shock over this.
prior to getting together with the other gals, I was kept busy by my two lil monkey boys. Thank goodness, b/c after reading Phil's post...I kinda lost it and had to get off of here.
It was really nice to hang out with you girls. I love the babies! I wish I had brought one of mine. maybe next time..
awwww, thanks. He's a doll! He had so many thing he 'had' to tell me
I wish I could have been there today
H's tire went flat yesterday morning, and we had to get it fixed tonight 
Today was tough- I'm exhausted- I stayed VERY busy at work because every time I stopped I would get teary eyed... I nested a lot today just reading and responding when I could... even with my boss in my office watching what I was doing on the computer, I just didn't care.
THIS!
