I swear that everyone around me is getting pregnant!
We just got a call from DH's friend today - he said his wife is expecting her 2nd child. I'm very happy for them since they tried for YEARS to get pg without any success - they had given up hope of having children of their own, so to see them have 2 children is wonderful.
Guess I'm just venting because I'm feeling down. It's been over a year since my mc. We held off on ttc b/c the same week I had the mc, DH lost his job. We started "trying" again this summer - by trying, I mean taking the "whatever happens, happens" theory. But...how can it happen when we rarely bd? DH doesn't understand why we have to plan things out - but I hate that every month my pd comes and know that if we had just bd'ed more often, maybe i'd be pg.
Plus, I think I am one of my only friends with children that only has 1. I'm grateful to have my DD of course - but I'm so jealous of those that have had their 2nd child or are pg with their 2nd right now.
Re: I swear that everyone around me is getting pregnant!
the grass is always greener... I feel the same way, but about everyone who just has 1 ... let alone more than that.
we are having such a hard time just getting to the first baby....
but all in all I totally get what you are saying. hearing the news of a pregnancy is so different when you are having difficulty trying to achieve the same thing. it's like a sting at first... and then you are of course happy for the person. it's totally normal.
