FB drama

I'm a Facebook addict.
I have to admit it.
I have to see what's happening every 5 minutes or so. If I'm not on my computer, I'm checking it on my phone (I'm addicted to my blackberry too but that's another post)

When I found out I was pregnant with the twins I didn't post it on FB right away. My friends did though. I was kind of scared to do that, but whatever, I was not going to get mad at them for that, they were just so happy that I was finally pregnant.
At 13 weeks I finally decided maybe I could stop being afraid and post a pic, well I actually made a whole album with all the U/S pics and named it my miracle babies.
I got so many comments, everybody was so happy!! I was so happy!!
When everything happened I just deleted the album. I didn't announce that our babies passed, almost everybody knew what happened. Some people would ask me how my pregnancy was going and then I had to tell them I lost the babies.

Well, apparently not everybody knew I lost them.

This past Saturday my best friend in the whole world had her baby. The baby's name is Valeria, she's the cutest thing ever. I love her. I'm so sad I couldn't be with my friend on her happiest day but since I'm in the middle of IVF#3 I couldn't travel to be with her.
I posted on FB that Valeria was born, and guess what?? People start congratulating me!! They thought I just had a baby girl. I posted the baby was not mine, it was my friend's.
One FB friend (my MIL's friend ) apparently didn't understand the posting, she's Bulgarian (by the way my husband is Bulgarian I don't know if I ever mentioned that here)
Anyways, I later post a picture of the baby with the caption My niece Valeria, Mi sobrina Valeria for my spanish speaking friends on FB. Then again my MIL's friend congratulates me on my pretty baby!!!! And then goes to my husbands wall and congratulates him on our gorgeous baby and says the baby looks just like him!!

I couldn't do anything else but laugh about it. I can't just be angry at everybody that is unaware of what happened. I later wrote her an email explaining what happened, she was so embarrassed, but she just didn't know.

Also, today on FB there is this horrible picture circulating of a newborn baby in a garbage can, apparently people are sharing it to create awareness on child abuse. I was going to post it here but it's really horrible. The only thing that comes to my mind is us infertiles trying so hard to have a baby while others who can just dump them in the garbage. I repeat again and again life is just not fair sometimes. It makes me so angry. How can a mother to such thing. It breaks my heart.

  1. FB and I have a love/hate relationship and just like you I can't help but on it. Would it be nice if those of us who really want a baby could have one and those that don't, well just don't. If only. It breaks my heart too.

  2. I hide so many people on FB it isn't even funny.

  3. I used to be obsessed with facebook. I only go on once a week now and really only check for new pics of my cousin's and friend's babies. I am glad I have not seen that pic anywhere. I really don't want to see it.
