Morning.

This weekend was such a roller coaster.  I'm pretty sure I hit the full gamut of emotions between the joy of my friends wedding and the utter despair of Mo's situation.

I'm having a hard time just figuring out what to say.  

How is everyone?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Morning.

  • I am in the same boat as you.  The joy of my boys is like no other, however yesterday I looked at them and whole heartedly fealt guilty.  Guilty because life isn't fair, I was able to carry my 2 boys and they made it through the struggles of my pregnancy.  MO deserved those babies, why couldn't they have just stayed in longer? I sit here teary eyed and wishing we could all fly out there and just give her big hugs and cry with her.

    Sorry I don't mean to be a downer, but  my heart just breaks for her and Sean.  They are such great people. I just can not imagine what they are going through.

    Anyhow, I hope everyone has a good day today.

  • I don't even know what to say. I'm so heartbroken for Emily and Sean

  • I think we're all feeling that way today. Mo, if/when you read this, know that you are in all of our thoughts and/or prayers. I think we all hurt for you. A lot of us have cried for you and Sean. Just know that we all love you. You are in my prayers, lady!

  • I'm in the same boat as the girls who posted above.  My heart breaks for Emily and Sean.  I can't even begin to imagine their pain.  This is another reminder of how unfair life can be and I hope they can find their way through this tragic time with love, kindness, faith and strength.

    Now I'm off to work and will be back tomorrow.

  • I've been thinking about Mr. and Mrs. MO since I read the post last night.  Life is so unfair.  I'm ashamed that yesterday I was having a "bad" day, as in I was overwhelmed and frustrated.  Little petty things that don't matter.  After I read that post I put it all aside and hugged and snuggled with my little man.  I can't even imagine what it's like for them.  They are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

  • I'd echo everyone else. Yesterday's news was sobering, for sure. V and I are heartbroken for them and keeping them in our prayers.

  • Yesterday's news was heartbreaking, and I just can't imagine what Sean and Emily are going through.  B and I went to an open house for BIL last night, and BIL's grandmother was asking us when we are going to start a family, and all I could think about was Sean, Emily, and the babies.  Life is so unfair.

  • I'm feeling the same way as others today.  I can't even begin to understand the pain and just wish I could take some of it away from Mo and her husband.  Life is so unfair.

  • After being out of town over the weekend, I was playing catch up this morning at work. I was already in a bad mood today, but my worries pale in comparison.
  • I really struggled with thoughts about posting today. It feels like everything, in comparison to this weekend, is totally trivial and unimportant. I'm angry at the universe and so sad for them... I feel extra guilty because I posted on her blog about how great she looked just a few hours before everything went bad. I don't know... I feel like maybe I should delete the message. Thoughts?

    Anyone else feel like they're trying to make sense of the universe today?

    It absolutely broke my heart when I saw her blog post.  I feel like I'm over using all the iterations of "broken heart" today, but it's completely how I feel.  Maybe edit your comment?  I don't know.  I know if it was me, I don't think I'd ever want to see that blog, or face my tickers again.

    I've having a hard time with the universe today.  She's being a fickle biatch right now.

  • I'm on the same boat as everyone else. I'm still in shock about what happened this weekend to MO. I was hoping to hear good news today.

  • ditto everyone else. my heart just hurts for both of them. MO is such a great person, and if anyone deserves to be a mama, it's her. I know that they are strong people and will get through this, but I can't help but thinking how unfair it is for them.

    I text her last night to tell her that I'm thinking of her, and to let me know if there's anything I can do. her text back made me smile "we're going to get through this." her strength is just amazing to me.

    That's what I was thinking. But... if she's had the comment emailed to her, I don't want her to think I'm taking something back because of all this.

    Thanks for sharing that Mandee. That is really nice to hear.

    I know... she texted something very similar to me as well. I know they'll get through this, but it doesn't make it any less heart breaking. :(

    I'm in the same boat.  I commented after you.  I think I'm going to leave it though.

    Oooo.  Good point.  Maybe a follow-up comment?

  • Like everyone else, I'm going through a wide range of emotions, from being sad to being angry to being sad. I know there isn't anything I can do for them, and even my prayers won't help take away their pain. I just wish they didn't have to go through this at all.

    Seeing Emily's text to Mandee helps me to see just how strong she is and I know that with Sean there, they will get through this.

  • I'm a bit late on this, but... yeah, I fell alseep thinking about Emily and Sean and woke up with them still on my mind. My emotions are all over the place - mostly I'm angry and sad for them, like everyone else. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now. I wish there was something I could do to help.

    This is me. I was on the plane heading home from out of town when I saw the 2 posts from Katz. I couldn't even process the information, I just handed my phone to DH because he obviously could tell something hit me horribly wrong.

  • It was hard to go to work yesterday and be happy and not bawling the whole time. I keep feeling my baby moving around and thinking that it isn't fair for me to continue to have this baby and for her to lose hers. I didn't know her very well but I just feel guilty that I'm still pregnant and she is not.
