You get a baby, and YOU get a baby, and YOU get a baby!

It's inevitable that you reach a point in your life when everyone around you is getting pregnant and having children. For me, now being 30 years old, it seems like every week there is another pregnancy announcement on Facebook. I mean, hey, that's amazing for those people....but then there's me. (When I say me, I also mean every other woman/couple out there going through infertility issues.)

I remember feeling the same way prior to getting engaged, and I got engaged when I was 25 which is relatively on the younger side these days. It felt like all my friends were getting THE BLING and I was just waiting....granted I was in a relationship for almost 3 years, not single. Being dramatic is so fetch!

For the past 2 years every time I see a friend post about getting pregnant, post about BEING pregnant every week (insert weird picture relating to a fruit here), going to a friend's baby shower, meeting a friend's new baby....there's always a part of you that is jealous/upset. I am always thrilled for my friends for entering this new stage of life, and LOVE playing with their babies...but at the end of the day I would go home and cry.

Listen, I'm sure when it happens for me I won't be able to resist posting pictures of my belly and new baby online as well. Happens to the best of 'em. But I would like to find a way to do so while being sensitive to those who will feel the way I always did (do? idk...I'm awful with grammar.)

I know that every pregnancy is a blessing, but when someone is like "Oh God! I tried to get pregnant for like 5 months...it was awful!"....there's a little part of me that just wants to punch them in the face. Is that so wrong?

Like I stated in my first post, my reason for this blog is not only to shine a seemingly dim light on infertility, but also to share my feelings and feelings of others in hopes that whoever reads this will march forward with a little more sensitivity and understanding to the women, couples, and others around them.

Peace. Love. Babies.
