That was DrWife’s Gmail status today, 4 days after we found out that we lost our baby. She was 11 1/2 weeks pregnant with our second child.
Other ways nerds/chronic planners/worriers deal with/question/grieve a miscarriage:
- “Rock Paper Scissors for who’s gametes were at fault?”
- Maybe I shouldn’t have done that 30 minute pregnancy yoga workout
- “Dammit, I wanted a Gemini baby!”
- “That due date was perfect, I wouldn’t have to deliver in the Winter (yuck), I would have just enough time after your birthday to prepare another birthday party, and it was right around the same time as Joby’s birthday”
- “Maybe we had sex a few too many times around my ovulation and the sperm got damaged cause there were so many of them fighting for the egg”
