My emotions are first, “Yay! I am so happy for this person! I can’t wait to see the bump photos, the sex reveal and to hear what they will name the baby!” And then, my heart drops a little and I think to myself, “I really hope I get pregnant soon.” I know this isn’t a weird mix of emotions to have, but I do feel a little guilty for making someone else’s good news about my own hopes that have yet to come to fruition. I try not to voice these thoughts out loud to my friends or family or even my partner, mostly because I don’t want to be misinterpreted as being a jerk, but I think expressing this here feels safe and ok. Sad vent over.
