Has anyone else felt this way?!

Something I never thought would happen... I remember the second my best friend told me she was pregnant just over 2 years ago now. From day 1 I tried to be there for her, texted her and made sure she knew I was always there for her. She complained to me several times that our other best friend (we'll call her T) never checked on her and she felt like since she was the first to have a child, all her "friends" were treating her differently (besides me of course).

Flash forward to her delivery of a healthy baby boy, I was still the friend always there for her and T was no where to be seen.

A month later T herself announced she is pregnant. I also made my presence known in her life during her entire pregnancy and made sure she knew I was there for her. She gave birth to a baby girl and all was well in our circle of friends.

THEN it happened.

I started seeing posts of my two best friends with their children, hanging out and making plans with each other.

I stopped hearing from them all together practically (literally had to message them first every single time). It got to the point where I sent T a text one day like pleading for them not to forget about me... that I know they are both busy with new babies but that I would love to see them even just hanging at their house and helping with their kids... and that I felt like I was being excluded since I dont have any kids (my hubby and I have tried for 12 years) and T said no no no we would never do that, we (her and the other bff) just tend to have the same schedules and do things last minute and dont want to bother you...

Which I get but for real. I try so hard to be apart of their lives.

Today I see a post on Facebook where they took their kids to the park. Today is Saturday. I dont work Saturdays and they know it.

Something I never expected was to be left out of my friend's lives just because I don't have children if my own and it hurts my heart. Do I even try to reach out at this point or do I just move on? I'm talking like 13+ years of friendship that I feel they don't care about anymore. Sorry for the long post
