  Oh @KC1212 I'm sorry I know exactly how your feel (seriously, my three closest friends all had babies last Aug/Sept). It's so hard to be happy for them without being sad for you. Hopefully, because your bff knows about all of your struggles, she'll have the grace to handle the situation well. Hugs girl!

  Now that i quit my teaching job to focus on IVF- I got to drop DD off for the first time at her class Tuesday... I found out of all the moms... I am the only one NOT pregnant. Seriously- and they all had at least two children and I'm just sitting there with DD trying to be polite when they are asking me "don't you think she should have a sibling?" "How long are you going to wait?" "It is a little selfish to wait so long don't you think?" SERIOUSLY??? SO I pray your friend was and will be kinder since she knows, I think I am rambling because I want you to feel better and I tend to do that when I can't know for sure. I know we are all here for you and don't feel bad for feeling sad, you are happy for her- you are a good friend. Today, six years ago, my grandmother died and my bestfriend gave birth to her only son. I don't know why the happy always seems to get marred by some sad, but life if full of extremes. Yours is coming- you've given so much and deserve so much more!!! (HUGS)

  @Momarazzi007‌ I'm so sorry that happened to you those other moms can suck a dick (excuse my colorful language!) people are idiots X(
  
  I think she'll handle the situation with care (I hope so anyway!). The real test will be soon, though. We have a girl's night planned to go see Divergent together. At least we'll be in a movie theater and she won't be able to talk about her pregnancy after the previews...
  
  But if she smokes a cigarette - I'm going to lose my shit.

  I'm so sorry. I have several friends who are recently pregnant and now I'm not. They are all due just after I should have been (before I miscarried) and it's going to be really hard seeing them have babies when I should have one too. IF is so sucky and I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

  Oh I'm so sorry. I totally understand your struggle with different emotions over this. You want to be happy for her but it just reminds you of your own struggle. I feel ya.

  That is such a tough situation. I was just telling DH the other night regarding a similar situation, "I don't begrudge her a baby, I'm just sad for the one I don't have." It is such a double-edged sword. Hopefully, if she is a good friend she will be thoughtful of you in the midst of her experience.
  
  @Momarazzi007‌ I can't believe women you just met would ask such personal questions. I'd be like, " I don't owe you explanations about my life!!" Sorry you had to deal with that.

  @Momarazzi007‌ Wow, anyone know about minding your own personal business. I so know what you mean though, it seems like every parent dropping off and picking up at DD preschool either has a baby, multiple children, or is pregnant. Plus everyone at church who has a child near DD age just had a baby...seriously all of them! Anyway, wanted to say I feel your pain.
  
  @KC1212 Yes! Let's do it. I live in Iowa and that's somewhat in the middle, or we could meet in a big city with an airport...several are within driving distance, although I wouldn't mind someplace warm like California.

  Ugh, it hurts so bad. I'm sorry you're dealing with it right now. The mixed feelings of happy for them and reminded if your own pain is really hard. Have fun on your movie date, though. I want to see Divergent but don't know if I will. DH Hates Shailene Woodly (or whatever her name is), lol. But I read it and thought it was fun.

  I'm in the Inland Empire. If you ever drive to Vegas, you can practically wave at me as you head up the 15 past the 10. And yay for other Cali mamas! I always feel like the boards are ahead of me because of the time zones, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one late to the party.
