Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Oh, Empress. My thoughts are with you and your friend.

I went through something similar with CJ...yes, you read that right. This was when I was MUCH heavier. They told me there was no heartbeat and we asked for a second opinion. They tested again a week later and between the fact that I was not as far along as originally thought, and my size, they had missed it the first time. That week wait was AWFUL.

Trust my rage

Aimee, I'm so sorry for your friend. The exact same thing happened to me, except that I lost the baby and still had to have a D&C. MIscarriage sucks no matter when it happens, but it just broke me knowing that my baby was dying in side me. The one thing that really really helped me get through it all was posting here: [link] Three years later, I still talk to these women all the time.

eta: Oh, and Suzi's situation is exactly why I waited and went through the miscarriage from hell. I just wanted to be sure I had done everything i could.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Aimée, that's horrible.

The great thing about life after middle school is that you are so seldom held captive with people who despise you and whom you despise.

Pardon my ignorance, but is high school a big improvement? How so -- is it the structure of the captivity that changes, or the people?

I've been more trapped with despised people in my work life than I ever was at school, but I had one of those happy schoolhoods, so I can't calibrate.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks, guys. Stephanie, I'll pass it on to her. She's a wreck. She's bben cramping and bleeding a bit for the past 5 days, but ER docs and her doc said as long as the baby was fine (which it was as of Monday), that it was probably the placenta implanting. She's been so hopeful.

For me, it was the convergence of all new people and a much bigger environment that I didn't see the people that treated me like shit in middle school. Instead, I had a whole new batch of people to treat me like shit!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Aimee, how horrible. I'm so so sorry. Give her my love.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Aimee, I'm so sorry for your friends.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Aimee, pass along my condolences to B. That must be so awful for them.
