Punched in the gut... long vent inside

in Infertility
My boss just had a baby girl in November and is still out on maternity leave, coming back in a few weeks. One of my coworkers is due in February and another is due in May... both with girls. My cousin's wife is due in May with a girl as well, and will be giving my grandparents who raised me their first great-grandchild.
Now another cousin (cousin mentioned above's sister) just posted on my facebook that she's pregnant! They literally just found out yesterday and she's already posting about it on her wall, others' walls, etc. Oh to be that naive about things again. I just talked to her two weeks ago and she told me she was having issues on her current bcp and went off of it to switch to another type of bcp to see if that worked better. How lucky that in those couple of weeks she ovulates and gets pregnant! Talk about a sucker punch to my gut.
To make it a little better, my Grandma called me yesterday to give me a heads-up about her pregnancy and she knew that I would be sad to find out. She told me that it was okay that they were having babies before me because mine are going to be cuter. 
Sometimes I really love my Grandma!
Thanks for reading/listening... it helps to just get it out there because DH doesn't get why I'm so upset... and you guys are so much cheaper than a shrink! lol

Being surrounded sucks. Thankfully you have an awesome Grandma!
Don't you wonder if some ladies take their laptops into the bathroom and post when they poas? D@mn - the stick doesn't even have time to dry!!!
After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!

Ugh, I can't even imagine ever posting that I'm pg that early-on - wow! Can you hide her on FB (at least while she's pg)?
Your Grandma sounds great!
I know right?! I mean, I guess when you're young (23, married 1 year) and clueless you just never think that there could ever be a problem. I'm not as bright and shiny as she is. Usually I think that's a good thing. Sometimes I really wish I was still that naive though.
this really made me miss my grandmother. I think she would be such a good support for me right now.
can i share yours?

**hugs** one of my childhood bests (i am her first daughter's godmother) is in labor with her second daughter -thank you FB- and a girl at work JUST found out she's pregnant with her second (BOTH have the same name and told me they were thinking they were secondary IF's...yeah, way to go girls)
at least your grandma is in understanding to your sturggle and feelings..you're lucky to have her
I'm so sorry hon. That last announcement especially sounds like a hard one to take. Right now I am surrounded by new mommies and pregnant women at work too. And it really, really sucks.
Sending you (((((hugehugs))))).
PS - Your grandmother sounds awesome
I am so glad you have her.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
This. I think back to when we first started TTC and I'm pretty sure I would have been this naive. I just would have had no reason to think otherwise. How quickly things change...
ETA: I forgot to say that you Grandma sounds amazing!
