It's difficult (PR not me)

My hubby and I don't plan to start trying to conceive for another year or two, which make sense in our situation. That said I have had baby fever for almost a year now and waiting is getting more and more difficult. 
To top it all off in the last two weeks I have heard of three friends who have recently gotten pregnant. One of whom has been married for five years and they finally started trying last year once her husband was finished school. The other two weren't planned. I've sent my "congratulations" and I am genuinely excited for them, it is just really hard not to be sad that I'm not in their shoes. I just so look forward to the whole experience of being pregnant and having a child.

Thanks for letting me vent. I really needed that.

Re: It's difficult (PR not me)

  • I completely understand, and am in a very similar situation.  I'd love to start TTC now, but there are so many reasons why B and I have decided to wait at least another 6 months before trying.  Lots of my friends are PG or have babies, and I really wish I could be joining them.  That being said, I just keep reminding myself of the reasons why we are waiting, and that the waiting will all be worth it.

  • We were in the same boat before we got to TTC. I still had school to finish, and I just wasn't ready to alter my life for a baby for a while. It really is all worth the wait to know that you're ready to start TTC and not just pressured into it by everyone else. I know it's hard now, but you'll get to enjoy everyone else's babies for a while before you TTC yourself. Plus, the bonus is you get to give it back when it starts fussing and driving you crazy. ;) Try to keep yourself occupied with all the things on your bucket list maybe to help keep your mind off of it for a while.

    Ditto, minus the friends part. We have very few friends with kids, but I still have baby fever.  I try to remind myself that having a baby will be so much more exciting if we feel like we are truly in the right place in our lives.  That way we will be able to just celebrate the fact that we are PG rather than also stressing out about whether we made the best choice for us and for our future baby.
