I feel so selfish
in GP Moms
I am 18 weeks... Due in March... Super excited having my baby boy. Just found out my sister, who has a baby, he will be 1 next month, is pregnant!!!
I am so happy for her, so why am I upset at the same time?? I feel like such a selfish azzhole. I mean, that is awesome that my boy with have such close cousins, but I have been trying to enjoy having this pregnancy, one thing to myself here... I don't know. I swear its like she's always stealing my thunder.
Sorry for the little rant, I just can't tell anyone else... If feel like a total jerk for feeling this way...
Re: I feel so selfish
It's rough when you tried for so long and so hard and then when it finally happens you have to share the spot light.
On the positive side, your son will have a cousin who is months younger than him and they will probably be best friends. Luckily for you, you guys are almost and entire trimester apart so you have time after your son arrives to still be in the spot light. And also, it is your first so no matter what everyone will be checking on you non stop.
DH is still angry about our situation and at times I feel the same jealousy as you but once it sinks it you will also see the excitement more than the jealous feelings.

I think you need to pull on your big girl panties and move on and share this. It wasn't done maliciously (which I'm sure you know), and you will certainly have 2 separate showers, so I guess I don't understand why you're so upset about this. I mean, it's good that you acknowledge that you feel like crap about feeling like this, so then I think it's time to move on. Trust me, your pregnancy is much too short to spend time being annoyed at petty shit (even thought it feels so long!).

There actually hasn't been a time when one of us hasn't been pregnant since July 2012. Bens birthday is the exact day of my other sister's LMP and her kid's birthday is the exact date of my other sister's LMP for her second, due in late December.

ETA Not that the negatives are really negatives. I just mean that you will probably be happier about this than you think.
Just enjoy it! It's an exciting time for you two.
If other people get excited, that's great! If not, that's ok. They are focused on their lives and distracted (happens to all of us).
It helps to not "expect" people to react the way you want them to. Focus on your family (you and DH).
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

I Had the same feelings. Very conflicting. Whether they were right or wrong, it's how I felt. So I don't blame you.
Thanks ladies... It is just good to hear that my feelings weren't me being crazy. LOL I am all good, it is exciting that our kids will be so close in age! Super awesome. I am way happy for her and her H. I knew they would be trying soon, just didn't think it would happen soooo soon. I actually had a weird feeling, lol, but oh well... It isn't that big of a deal, just a little moment of omg really? Already? Goodness, what about me. Ya my selfishness coming out, I said nothing of it to anyone. Just let her and my Mom and everyone else know how excited and happy I am about it.
Thank you so freaking much for listening! Just stuff you feel and need to get off of your chest, with out making an ordeal about it!
SO I get to come here and bitch to you girls! Ha ha xoxoxxo thanks again! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.
I would have been back on here sooner, but this darn thing doesn't let me sign in sometimes. Grrr
