I need to vent...

AussieAbbie

Ok, I was really close with a girl at work for about 2yrs... something happened as when I came back from vacation last April, we have gone together to lunch... maybe once??? This is from going together everyday prior to my vacation..

She would still come downstairs to my dept and hang at my workstation and we'd chat and vice versa, but now she strickly goes to lunch with her own dept gals (she used to be in my dept an took a job in sales).. anyways, we are still friends and we still talk (just not like we used too..which does upset me).. so months back she tells me in confidence (at the one and only lunch we've had together since April) that she is about 7wks pg... she asks how our IF is going and I tell her we're about to go back to the fertility clinic (as obviously, i'm still not pg and we need help)... Now I had suspected she was pg and told her (prob should've let her glow in telling me her news) but truely, I am so happy for her!! I've told her on numerous occassions that I'm so happy for her, how I'm already stocking up on gifts for her baby... cut a long story short... she is now 23wks I think...maybe even a little further along... she really doesn't talk a whole lot about the pregnancy unless I really ask ( I think she is scared to tell me since I'm still not pg, coming up to our 3yr mark of TTC), but I have to say... (here is where i'm going to vent)....

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR HOW "FAT" YOU ARE BECOMING!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.... I am happy and over the moon your'e pregnant... Yes, I wish I were too and glad you didn't have the stuggles we have....but you ARE PREGNANT....you are going to put on the 18lbs (so far)... STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT... I know you knew you'd get a belly & some when you get knocked up, but I don't want to hear how "fat" you think you've become... THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS that you even ARE pregnant... cause i'd trade places with you in a heartbeat..... 

footnote: this is not the first time she's complaining about the lb's she's putting on...

sigh.... thanks ladies for letting me get that out + another girl in my dept is now pg (told me yesterday and came back from her 1st u/s today & showed me).... Oh to top the day off... my temp is down for a second day... looks like IUI didn't work...
