In 2 days. One friend had a baby each month this year from January until now, and there is one due in October. I am seriously loving all the baby snuggles, but I would be lying if I said it didn't sting just a tiny bit.
Deep breath......
Ok, I'm over it. Just needed to get that out.
Re: 6 Pregnancy Announcements......
I hate facebook for this very reason. Today alone saw 3 "new baby" pics. Its tough when it feels like everyone is pregnant or just had a baby.
and I also hate when people say "well you have one". Yes I do and I most certainly love her but it doesn't mean the feeling for another doesn't exist.
This is one area where I'm kind of glad we don't have many friends, and most of the ones we do have are single guys. But I do have "facebook level" friends who are having babies. Several of them are on baby one or two, and at my age (25) that's not surprising... but I do have a disconcerting number of acquaintances who are seeing their oldest kids off to third grade and stating that they are done having kids. I mean, yeah, being "done" is nobody's business, but here I am just desperately wanting a child, and I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have a few kids and feel as if my family is complete at age 25!
I have a half niece who is a year older than I am, she was just married a few weeks ago and I am really, really hoping I don't get blindsided by a baby shower invite anytime soon. I'm an awful person for saying that but I can't deny it... at least I feel this way only with the assumption that they'll want kids; I don't know for sure. If I knew they were seriously trying I'd just hope for the best for both of us.
