Thanks guys. Just frustrating knowing you can't control anything. Doctor suggests to try not to stress out, which gives my wife one more thing to stress out about. She pretty much hates life right now. Which means I get to temporarily hate life as well since the right thing to do is be at home but being at home is no fun.
yeah, i think everyone in this thread can relate. there really isn't any silver bullet advice other than to be there for her
And it's good that you're there to pump the breaks on the "ideas" you referenced above. I would avoid (as much as possible) any sort of "look ahead" projects. Like creating a nursery for example.
Good post. We made the mistake of buying a stroller before we were successful. Was not a fun day selling the stroller at a second hand store after a miscarriage. Store full of parents I'm selling an unused stroller while my wife sits in the car.
I believe it. I've tried to fight as subtly hard as I can but my wife's family keep giving us old stuff or selling things to us on the cheap. I've asked my brothers in law to see if they could help me stop it somehow, but my wife's sister, SIL, and mother are so into the idea and promoted it so much that we now have a room full of items and clothes (for both genders) and several large pieces (some fancy crib/bed thing, two fancy strollers, pack in plays, etc) that we owe like a grand to people for. I tried to stop it solely out of fear that we may have to give it back on day but was unsuccessful. God forbid this process doesn't work and we do have to give it all back.
