I've been with the same guy for 5 years. We got married this past June and I've been so blessed to have him! We found out we were pregnant shortly after we got married and we couldn't have been more excited. We felt like we did everything right. We both have good jobs, I'm at the end of nursing school, we have a house and are financially stable, my husband has a great job and we waited till we were married. So me being so excited since this is my first of many babies, I tell my parents. I then learn that my brothers fiancé (who is not the best person in the world) is also pregnant.. and not only that.. her baby is due on the EXACT SAME DAY my baby is due. What are the odds right?

So I immediately get frustrated because they've also been together for 5 years but didn't start trying to have a baby until they found out my fiancé and I were. My parents basically told me I was overreacting because I was super upset and just felt like my baby wasn't going to get the attention and shine like it deserves.

So weeks go on and I slowly start to feel okay about it but then.. a lot of decorations I had at my wedding she started to copy too such as our card box, chalk candles and wooden centerpieces.. super annoying.. then I talk about having a gender reveal and now she's trying to plan hers for the day before mine. I also talked about wanting a stuffed animal that has a recording of the babies heartbeat and what do you know... she goes and gets one. It's like she is trying to steal my whole life and I can't help but feel so angry and bitter about it.. 

just seems as if everything I've waited for and prayed for has just came crashing down.

(Keep in mind I'm not upset that they're having a baby, a baby is a miracle. I'm just simply upset for all of the things that this has caused or lead up to)

Now I just feel like I don't want a gender reveal because I hate the thought of her trying to copy everything I want. It's just exhausting and I can't handle it.
