The channel that is...so many shows remind me of what I will never have with Lily. Here is a list of the most abusive shows to a grieving mommy~
A birth story~ I worry everytime a baby girl is born that her name will be Lily. I cringe when I see the pink outfit that they put on her to bring her home and when they show the girlie nursery.
Toddlers and Tiaras~ not because I was going to put her in beauty pageants, but because I will never take my daughter to buy dresses or get mani/pedis. I will never teach her how to put on make-up or watch her dance or sing.
Say yes to the dress or any other wedding show~ I will never celebrate with her as she finds the man of her dreams or help her find the perfect dress. I won't have the *pleasure* of spending over $20,000 the give her the best day of her life. I will never see the love of my life walk his princess down the aisle or have his father/daughter dance.
No matter where I look there are reminders of all the things that I won't have a chance to do with my Lily. For whatever reason all my emotional pain falls on this channel but I can't take my eyes of it none-the-less.

I hate TLC too. Everyday I roll by the baby shows and even though I don't want to watch them, I can't help but watch. I hate when the descriptions say something like, "a couple experiences a difficult birth." And, then you watch and the woman has to endure labor for like 8 hours and finally has a C section. Really? That's your description of a difficult birth? Because I'd say one where your baby doesn't live is a difficult birth. TLC can bite me! Sorry, let me step off my soap box.
Hey! You're 26 weeks pregnant!! Congrats!
I want you to know you can call me anytime of the day. I am here for you to talk about Lily or anything else you need.
(((Hugs))) I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful Lily.
i torture myself with tlc too. 'baby story' is the worst, but yet if i'm flipping through channels and it's on i can't seem to bring myself to change the channel. 'i didn't know i was pregnant' is another show i for some reason can't change either.... i don't know what it is!
Yeah, I hate those shows. TLC gives all women a false sense of security- that we all carry our pregnancies to term, that we all get to take our babies home. TLC can bite me.
Oh, my goodness, I know exactly what you mean. Either they try to dramatize the minimal, or make light of situations that are truly hard. I also know exactly what you mean about it being horrible when you hear another baby with your baby's name - you instantly feel protective.
Oh Jen *hugs* I can't say I have seen these shows recently as I try to avoid them, but I can see where they would remind you of Lily. You are in my prayers for continued healing and peace and especially health during your pregnancy with Cooper.
I agree. I cannot watch those baby shows. After losing Gregory, just seeing a hospital room was so tough. I'm sorry you don't get to do those things with your sweet Lily. It isn't fair.
