so many pregnant people around me
There are so many pregnant women in my life at the moment--including me! I know this is a horrible thought, but I keep thinking if I lose this baby I will have so many reminders of what we could have had all around me how will I be able to survive!
We've been ttc for almost 5 years. Many of the pregnant women I know, haven't been married for that long yet and now are pregnant with their 2nd and 3rd children.
The latest "announcement" was today on facebook. A former coworker of mine who I was sort of becoming friends with...we hung out a couple of times outside of work. She asked me about children at one point and I told her about our struggle with infertility. She said that she thinks she wants to start trying for kids but her husband really doesn't want to yet (they had been married for like 2 years at that point). Then just a couple of months later...she was pregnant. Her daughter will be 2 in August. Then today on facebook she announces that she is 9w along. I know I'd be more hurt if I wasn't pregnant. It's hard to feel anything but joy and thankfulness that I'm carrying a child. But there is still part of me that is jealous and wishes it was that easy for us.
I have 2 good friends that are pregnant. One with her 3rd child is due 2 weeks before me. One with her 1st (through IUI) is due with twins about 2.5 weeks after me. If something happens to mine, it will be so hard to watch theirs grow up.
Praying for my sweet miracle baby....
