Meh...

Nickie • 31, ttc my first baby. Growing up my dream was to be married by 21, baby by 24 etc. Life definitely doesn`t go how we mentally plan it to. Love my life, just can`t wait to someday have a baby, or 2 😉
A friend at church came up to me during worship practice this morning to tell me she was pregnant. I was/am super excited for her... but I started to cry. I'm sure it was due to my excitement for her, but also because I'm not pregnant and she is younger than me. I know wr haven't been trying for long... but this, and then my mom telling me on the phone today to "get busy" kind of just makes me feel sad... like, what if it doesn't happen... anyone else have similar experiences?

Oh yes! For 4 of the 5 years that my husband and I tried, I felt this way.. Pray for peace and contentment in your heart, it helps, stay in fervent prayer. God gave me my miracle baby!!

Over and over again. You feel so guilty that you can't be happy for them but you are still so sad for yourself. Hang in there.

I hear you Nickie. Two times since I started this journey I invited a friend to come along with me. Neither was really keen on getting pregnant again yet (both have kids already) and I kinda talked them into it. Both got pregnant...I'm still trying...a year and a half later. Sometimes I can't look at pics of the first friend's baby without thinking 'that baby should have been mine'. Silly I know but the mind goes wild sometimes. I just tell myself maybe this is happening for a reason. Maybe if I pour myself into encouraging and supporting these friends it'll be a good distraction...and I'll store up baby karma for when it's my turn :). Hang in there our time is coming. Keep in touch if you like. Good luck!!
