little setbacks

I went to Kohl's yesterday to try to find some shorts that fit.  NONE of my clothes fit now that my belly is big but not pregnant.  I am so uncomfortable in my body. 

After I tried on clothes for awhile, I was walking over towards the shoes.  I knew I would have to pass the baby section, where I often wandered when I was pregnant.  I let myself just glance over at some of the newborn clothes.  I felt a little pang of deep sadness but kept walking.  I was ok, I was having a good day.  Then I walked by the picture frames and started browsing, thinking to myself oh yeah, I want to look for a cool frame to put Kayla's name in the sand picture in.   I looked at about 2 frames, one of which said "Grandkids are the best" or something like that, and it just hit me.  This huge wave of grief and anxiety, that trapped feeling like I might go crazy at any second.  IT IS JUST NOT FAIR.  I should be buying those infant clothes, not looking at these dumb picture frames.   When little things like that happen, they throw me off balance for awhile.
