My sis in law just told us she is pregnant and due in September. I am very happy for her, this will be her 2nd child too. But whenever I find out someone else is pregnant I get a little bit jealous. Do you ladies or am I just a lil weird? I hop to have a 3rd child eventually (like in 2 years) so it's not the end of being pregnant for me. Just wanted to see if others felt the same!

Re: Anyone else get jealous ?
Totally me. And, I don't know if we are done having kids or not. Growing up I always said I wanted four kids but then when I got pregnant with DD3 we said we were done. We even talked about DH getting a vasectomy and I have talked to my doctor about our options (which one is better, me to have a tubal or DH to have the vasectomy). But when DD3 came along, I can't help but think that our family is not complete. DH thought the same way for a while, but with DD1 and DD2 getting involved in things, I think he's starting to feel more like we're done.
So, yes, I get jealous of the women who are pregnant.
Yes, absolutely. I will be shocked if my baby fever/jealousy ever went away. I've had it sooo long!!

This does not give me hope, Elizabeth, knowing you have four beauties yourself. I was hoping that if I were to have another child this feeling would go away. I sometimes understand how the Duggar's have 19 Kids and Counting.
This is how I feel. I do miss all the kicks and anticipation.

I feel so jealous of my friends who are having baby girls. We have 3 already and are pretty much done and I so wanted another daughter, though I love my baby boy and wouldn't trade him for a second. When they tell me they're expecting, I secretly hope they'll have a boy like me...is that wrong?
