in TTC after 35
I can usually take pregnancy announcements in the real world in stride, but I just saw one on facebook that makes me want to cry. This person is due in February (so, yep, not even two months pregnant and announcing to the world). She is 37 and her first kid (conceived on her honeymoon without any problem) turned 1 a few months ago. She constantly complains about how hard her life is, even though she has a wonderful husband, great family, precious son, stable/high-paying job, etc. I am happy for her, but I am really, really sad for me (and my husband) right now.
Plus, another friend and I had a bet about when this girl would get pregnant again. I said it would be before her son turned 1, and I missed it by a month. I was hoping to at least get a case of Miller Lite by winning the bet.
IF sucks.

**ticker warning**
a) Why are you friends with her? She sounds like a crepe-hanger (as my grandmother would say)-- a real energy/will-to-live-sucker. I wouldn't be happy for her. I would be jealous, but also disgusted.
In fact, I'll be disgusted on your behalf because you deserve a baby way more than she does.
b) You are awesome for making that bet, even if it's Miller Lite you would have won. I'd say you're still entitled to it, if you're the one who was closest without going over...

IF does suck.
I recently blocked updates of some very "woe is me" FB friends. I just couldn't take their ridiculous, self made drama.
Sorry that announcement blindsided you.
I know exactly how you feel. I work in a school full of fertile myrtles, they are always on some type of maternity leave. One is on her 4th in five years. I just found out last week that I have to take over her caseload while she is off having baby #4.
Hang in there. IF does suck.
It really is frustrating that so many people just have a wee bit of fun and there it is! For others, me, us...we are like science projects and still can't work it out....
Here is a shout out to hope for all of us!!
I hate when this happens.
Seems like we are all getting the FB slaps lately. This morning, there were pictures of my cousins SECOND baby shower for her SECOND baby. The pictures bothered me, the pg people bothered me, the fact that I wasn't invited bothered me, but mostly it bothered me that she got a second shower (her oldest is two). I barely got a shower for my first one, and I didn't get one for my second, who is now 12.
Just needed to vent that somewhere.
Ah, it is nice to have a place to commiserate with others who understand. Hugs right back to all of you.
D&W: I don't know why I am still friends with her...we used to be close ~ 10 years ago when we lived in the same town, but she is definitely someone who is better in person. I haven't seen her since her wedding two years ago, and I think fb has completely damaged our friendship. One day she posted about how hard it would be for her to be away from her two guys (husband and son) for a weekend. A fb friend of hers (male) who was in the military replied that she should try being away from her family in Afghanistan for six months. Instead of this girl being properly chastened, she replied that he couldn't understand since he wasn't a mother. Gag.
Off to buy my own Miller Lite!
That would be enough for me to de-friend her right then and there!
IF does suck big time!
