Gee, thanks!

Look at what I got in the mail the other day…

Toys R Us was so thoughtful to remember to send me a ‘Happy 1st Birthday’ card.  What a nice reminder that we are quickly approaching what would have been the Green Beans’ actual due date.

Gee, thanks Geoffrey!  You just made my day.

  1. I wonder if there is a way to cancel those things. I signed up for so many different things when I was pregnant with Nathan. There seems to be so many reminders. ((hugs))

  5. Lauren, I spoke to toys r us. I hope that's ok, but I didn't want you to have to call and explain. I really hope I am not overstepping my boundaries, but I just didn't want you to have to do it. I understand if you're mad. But the thought of you calling them just sort of seemed cruel. I'm sorry you had to get this card today. Please know that I think about you, Josh and the green beans often!

  13. I just got that exact card yesterday!!! This was AFTER I emailed them and asked to be taken off of any mailing lists they have. I told them straight up that my daughter died and that I know they couldn't have known that but I'm tired of gettig things in the mail that are hurtful reminders. I thought that would have stopped the card from coming but I guess Geoffrey is really persistent. So I sent another email...a little rude this time and told them that I just go a birthday card in the mail for my dead baby and what else do I have to say to you people to make this stop. We'll see what happens, but I guess the damage is done. Long story short, I feel you pain.
