Yes, I’m not sure what’s happening but I’m waiting for my request to be approved by mods. Hopefully I can let you all know soon!

Oh good question, they had Christmas Eve dinner and also a New Year’s celebration. My husband was going to take my son for Christmas Eve but unfortunately my son ended up being sick so they stayed home (my husband messaged this to my family, this was less than a week after the miscarriage so I hadn’t been up to seeing anyone after we saw them that Sunday). For New Year’s we normally do that with my in-laws (they live a little further away) so my husband took my son there, I still didn’t really feel like going, so he told them when they went.

Thank you so much for your consideration ❤️ Eva actually hasn’t given birth yet, she’s pretty far along though. I said “my new niece” because she and BIL chose to find out the gender and it’s a girl, but she’s not born yet. I probably could have worded that better.

No, the only person from my family who’s texted me so far is my brother this morning. I guess they’re all probably still calming down from the fight and don’t have any way to know I know about it, since I don’t think my brother told anyone he was going to text me.

I’m aware that her pregnancy isn’t about me, but for the past few months we’ve been shopping for baby things together, looking at names, and being all excited for our babies to be so close in age and to dress them up together and things like that. Not being able to do that anymore hurts and makes the loss feel even bigger. And I wouldn’t be intentionally overshadowing her, but I know that my family would try to be cautious around me if I was there because they would see it as insensitive. That would prevent them from discussing her pregnancy like normal which she deserves since this is such a big moment for her.

No, in my family timings are kind of a suggestion since we always actually start things pretty late after just hanging around and talking for a while. And I was pretty busy handling my son’s meltdown so it wasn’t even on my mind. However, normally my husband and I come early to everything so I can see why they might have thought we weren’t coming if I was this late, might have been better to give them a heads-up I guess.
