Four

Four of my friends just did pregnancy annoucements in the past week. I can't even pretend to be happy.  18 months of trying...could have made two babies.  I hate that i am so bitter...

>:D<  We all know how you feel, be good to yourself.

I'm sorry and I can relate....we lost our second baby in the past 6 months, the second being last week. Since then, 2 of our friends have had their babies. It's not easy...and I know it's ok to not be "happy" but I also know this is actually unrelated, even though it seems like the universe is against you some days/a lot!

Hugs! I'm in a similar spot. So crappy.

I'm so sorry. It sucks so bad.

Thanks ladies. I appreciate having the safe place to get that out.  

MrsZko for your loss.  You are right - it's not like they took me spot.  But darn if it doesn't feel like that sometimes.

Hugs for you!  It sucks enough with one announcement, but 4 is just awful.

I hear ya, honey.  I've dealt with two over the course of an hour this morning and have been fighting back tears since the first one.  Fucking sucks.  ((hugs))

Holy cow, @CheesyPeas!  That is nuts . I guess this is how the holidays are going to be right? We have to make it through Thanksgiving and Christmas and maybe New Years.  Bracing myself now..

CheesyPeas

Yep, holidays bring out the pinteresty pregnancy announcement ideas that all the fertiles are itching to use.  We're in for a fun ride!  Happy holidays y'all!

I just got back from a Halloween party one of the moms in my DS's toddler playgroup hosted. I was so excited about it that I completely forgot to mentally prepare myself for seeing the bellies. There were two ladies with big bellies, but oddly, it was the mom with the newly emerging bump that hit me the hardest. I started wondering whether the bitterness will ever go away.

Hugs to all. I was just talking to my male marriage counsler about my bitterness and lack of family understanding.
He's working with me on trying to have a better perspective...I am sceptic...but hey its worth a try

roselynnerm Ugh, I hear you!  Yeah, it is the newbies that hurt me too. @Morganlmw, Please share any tips!  I used to be pretty chill and able to separate.   But as the months go by....
