Yesterday you told me you are pregnant for the fourth time. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a long time, but we haven’t had any success yet. A small part of me envies your ability to get pregnant so quickly and so easily. I am starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with me that is keeping me from getting pregnant.

But I will not let my longing and my insecurity rob you of your joy.

You were meant to be a mother for this baby at this moment in time.

You have just the right amount of strength and wisdom and patience and compassion and bravery that this baby is going to need.

Your family is in the perfect position to love and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.nurture">nurture</a> this baby.

Your baby is going to grow up in a joy-filled, happy, loving home, and that’s all that I choose to focus on.

I will have my turn. I will see those two pink lines, and you will celebrate with me, but until then, I choose to be happy for you. I choose to feel warm and soft and content when I think of your sweet family. You deserve it.

With love,

Your TTC friend
