Thank you for the support!! It helps having a place to say "I'm hurting and this sucks and there's no one for me to be mad at because its noone's fault!" So thank you for letting me do that here. Baby dust to all!
So that's what i would look like...
We're visiting friends this weekend. The wife is due 3 weeks after when I was due. She has an adorable bump and it just makes me want to cry. It's so hard seeing a visual of where I would be. As i gave her a hug my mind was swimming with thoughts of how different our meeting would be if we were both still pregnant. How the nights conversation would have been trading morning sickness stories and tales of preparation for baby. I truely am happy for them but, man, this is hard.

I was telling a friend of mine about this last night. It's so hard for people who haven't experienced this to understand. You're truly happy for the other person, but at the same time you feel conflicted and envious for yourself. I'm feeling a lot of that right now, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
I can relate. My best friend and I started trying at the same time. Took us both 3 months. We found out about 2 weeks apart from each other. That was in October/November time frame. We lost ours a few days before Christmas. We've been trying to get pregnant again ever since with no luck, and just started Clomid. Meanwhile, she has an adorable little 2 month old. :-( :-( :-(I am so happy for her, and we're the god parents. But it's hard. We should have babies the same age that would grow up together.
I completely know what you are talking about. My best friend since third grade and I had the same due date. I was so excited and happy to go through pregnancy with her. I also teach childbirth Ed classes and newborn care classes and right now all the couples are due around the time I would have been. It's hard. It sucks. But I try to focus on the blessings I have. I'm so excited to see what God has in store for us! And trying to be patient for it 😉. Just know you are not alone.
I am so sorry, and truly understand. I lost mine in April, and one of my Co workers about 2 weeks later announced she was pregnant and due about a week after I was. She's also around my age. It kills me to see her everyday. I'm happy for her, but watching her grow sometimes really hurts. And I'm sure I will be a mess in Nov. I wish you the best and just know your not alone. That's what helps me.
