Amazing people

The day that Someday and I had the appointment scheduled to officially find out whether baby M had grown or not, we decided to both take the day off of work.  If the appointment went great, then we would go to Babies R Us (1.5 hours away from our appointment) and test out jogging strollers.  Being an avid runner and half marathoner, I was already researching the best one and didn't want to skimp on quality.  If the appointment went bad, then we would still head that direction but we would go shopping at the mall and just take a day to be together.

As I've already posted, we found out that we lost the baby.  After the appointment we got back into the car and just started sobbing.  There was no stopping it.  We couldn't drive anywhere yet, because we couldn't see to drive.  I didn't want to go shopping over 2 hours from home and it just be the 2 of us...... sad together.

So once we were finally able to see to drive, I told Someday that I wanted to go get my wedding ring cleaned.  For some reason I felt that even though we just found out the thing we had created together was being taken away from us, we still had each other and our marriage to fall back on.  So I wanted to have my ring sparkly and new.  While we were there, Someday called one of our friends to see if they had the day off of work.  It was Columbus day, and she works at a bank.  It was also her birthday.  They both had the day off and were planning to head out of town for a leisure day of lunch and shopping, and they asked if we wanted to join them.

For some people they would think that the last thing they wanted was to go somewhere with people after something like this.  But this couple knew everything we've been through.  They knew about my PCOS, when we started trying, when we found out we were pregnant, and that things weren't going right.  They also knew that we had the appointment that day.

For some reason spending the day with them made everything all better.  They didn't ask about the appointment, but Someday and I brought it up soon after we got in their car to leave.  It helped to have these friends to discuss this with.  I firmly believe that what has made it so much easier is that they have very similar religious views as us.  They got our mind off of things, talked with us about life, and helped us to comprehend what we were going through.  Even though they haven't been through it themselves.
