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'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 still don't know what to say--my heart absolutely breaks for Emily and Sean. H and I are sending every last bit of strength and peace and love to them as they go through this.
ditto everyone else.... its so hard too. I had just gotten home from a baby shower when I saw MOs update
and now I just got news that my other close friend is in L&D..... it's crazy feeling so sad for one couples loss and excited for anothers...
I really hope there is a greater plan for MO and Sean and someday they get everything they want and more....

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

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.
