  @lulumurph Thanks for sharing! These were both great reads. I definitely empathize with that line. Sometimes I feel like I just zero in on the pregnant people around me. Deactivating my FB has helped a lot.
  
  I'll jump on this bandwagon and mention a blog I started reading: Stirrup Queens. It deals with infertility, loss, etc. I especially like her references to other blogs that I wouldn't have known. 
  
  And a a new book (which I've mentioned elsewhere): "The Art of Waiting."

  Thanks for sharing @LuluMurph, they're great articles.
  
  I need to check out that blog @Bababatty. I'm the same with FB although found 'unfollowing' pregnant friends was an easy way of dealing with any sudden updates from them.

  Thanks! I definitely feel the "race" thing too- I feel like I'm falling behind in life and failing- and then guilty that I even feel that way. It's so hard.

  Thank you for the reads!  It is hard dealing with infertility and feeling like your being left behind.  My DH and I have been trying for 7 years.  Eventually the feeling dies down a bit.  It's still sad to know that I'm childless, but now that I have a job that helps cover IVF I'm hopeful.  I'm just worried how depressing it will be if it fails.

  @Bababatty I added that blog to my list, thanks!
  
  Agree that unfollowing pregnant friends was the best, but now it seems I have almost no friends on my feed

  I'm going to read these right now. @LuluMurph that quote really resonated with me as well. I feel like everyone is pregnant but me. Women on my Facebook feed are pregnant with their second and third babies and I just can't escape it!
