re: baby news (not mine)

[Guest guest]

Hi Gwen,

I just wanted to say, I do know EXACTLY how you are feeling. My best

friend and I started to try to conceive at exactly the same time. We

thought it would be so cool to take our Mat leave at the same time.

You know, take the baby's to the park, take them to the mall, maybe

baby aqua classes. Well she got pregnant, and I did not, and now she

is already on her second (10 weeks pg), the first is now 2 1/2 years

old!! We just assumed we could plan it like that, but I guess God

had a different view!

That's what I keep telling myself anyway, that God has a different

plan for me, and it will happen when it is supposed to happen! I do

know one thing that has come out of this. My best friend is so so

grateful for being able to have kids without any trouble. She

certainly does not take that for granted, where as before, I think

she might have. Anyway, after she told me she was pregnant, I had to

cry, but I have finally managed to drag myself out of my pity party!!!

You are such a wonderful person, that I just know it is going to

happen soon for you!!

Take care, and happy baby making!

Gwen,

My goodness, I know how you feel these days. In the past few weeks

I've learned that my sister is prego, three people I work very

closely with, two close friends, and two people in my kid's school

class (well, the mom's are expecting - not the kids Each one hits

me a little differently. I'm very happy for everyone, of course, but

so very jealous - can't help it. And it doesn't help that my son is

now begging for a sibling (whereas before it was just a " wouldn't

that be nice " someday kind of thing.) I think that so many of us

know how it feels.

Well hopefully it will be all of us (well, I guess I should restrict

it to those who want to have a child) in the coming year. One way or

another, it could be right????

Hi Gwen:

When I read your post I just did'nt have the right words to write

back. However, over the weekend, one of my good friends told me she

might be pregnant again (this will be her 2nd) and I knew I could

sympathize with you. I thought of you right off the bat when she

told me. I, like you, are truly happy for her but it just doesn't

take away the pain in our hearts.

I had a really bad day on Saturday. Just cried all day long, but

could'nt help it. My husband did'nt know what to do with me.

Just remember that all of us girls here are working towards one

thing, and by that we can all help each other in ways most friends or

family cannot because they are not going through it. I just wanted

to write and say " Keep your chin up " . Everything will work out.

I'll write more later. Have a great x-mas.
