Seriously... if one more person announces that they are expecting, I just might throw my computer out the window. I just witnessed the worst facebook announcement to date. 2 girls that I used to work with (twin sisters to be exact) announced 1 minute apart from each other that they are expecting. One is due May 19th and one on May 22. It is so frustrating. I'm sure they planned to "try" at the same time.
I think at least 3 people I know announced last week that they were expecting. And 2 ex-boyfriends from years ago announced last month that they are both going to be dads. One isn't married yet, and the other got married 4 months ago.
I really do want to be happy for all of these people. And maybe some of have gone through similar situations as all of us and I just don't know it. But it is so hard to be happy that someone gets to have what I've been trying for and don't have yet.
Okay, I just needed to get that out. Thanks for letting me vent.

Everyone Welcome!
I am SO sorry!!! I got off facebook a LONG time ago. It made my life infinitely better. My friends and I have actually had to make an effort to keep up with one another. It's not so bad. You realize that you keep up with your good friends and don't care for all those randoms. Maybe consider taking a break?
The whole twin thing is one of the weirdest things I have ever heard. I think I will be pondering that situation for the rest of the week. It is so bizarre. Also a bit annoying with the extent of the "let's do things together"

Everyone Welcome
I know...It seems like nearly every other post is about someone's due date, picture of their new baby, or letting everyone know they are pregnant. I really get annoyed with the ones who are pregnant and post about it every single day. Sometimes I come close to commenting something like, "Nobody cares," but I refuse to start a facebook arguement. I am close to boycotting Facebook.
