I am thoughly depressed

and glad that I'm going out with the girls on Sat night.

I just found out that another of my friends who is in her late 30s and unmarried is pregnant - that's 3 of my friends who all got pg before getting married (one of which gave birth and isn't yet married, one who got married then gave birth and one which I just found out is pg and is engaged).  Sigh.  I feel like a failure even though I know I'll be fine in my life w/o kids (didn't want any unless I was with the right guy) and it could (very unlikely) happen.  I'm so happy for my friends...I really am.  But very sad for my DH who really has always wanted children and may not get them.

I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.

Re: I am thoughly depressed

  • I'm sorry, Pineapples. I don't have anything to say that'll cheer you up, but I'm sending you big hugs. I can loan you D for a couple days if you'd like - he's a friendly baby who loves to snuggle.

    I'm going through a weird time too, for completely different reasons, but can empathise ... but you've got Barney!! not to mention your lovely DH... lots to be thankful for :) And you never know what could happen! 

    Regardless, drinks are in order soon.  

  • I feel ya! And although I am glad for what I have and having kids earlier would have been a giant mistake for me, I still may not have them and yet I get jealous everytime someone announces their pregnancy. Happy for them sure, but a little part of me is envious.

    Roll on Saturday! Looking forward to seeing you!

    Laurimi - if you are about, why not join us?

  • I'm so sorry. I know that I can't realy sympathize but when we were trying two girls at my office who weren't even in relationships got pregnant, that was hard for me.

    I hope things work out for you, I've been thinking about you and your journey  for a while now, I hope you get a BFP soon and then a sticky baby.

    *hugs*

    Oh and any time you're in Lux feel free to drop by, baby and a cute pup, Barney is more than welcome too...Maddy says more the merrier :)

    As in, why not join us? I posted here a week or so ago but took it down when I looked massively unpopular. Oh the shame. There are 5 of us coming if you are interested. Going to do Supperclub in Notting Hill.

  • Oh Liane, I want to give you a big hug (((hugs))) It WILL happen for you, I'm sure of it. My parents were friends with a couple who for over 10 years tried and failed to get pregnant. They used every fertility treatment possible, all failed. Then they said screw it and stopped everything. 2 months later, they were pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl Leoni Rose. Amazing!

  • Thanks Ladies - and yes, Lauren - do come - or at least join us for drinks before/after.  We can commiserate and have fun, fun, fun!

  • This is why I love the husband.  I told him about my sadness in an email and he wrote back "that's it, you're getting sex tonight whether you want it or not! JK - kinda - love you"...we share a funny sense of humour and it was just fitting.  Made me laugh and brought me out of my angst.  Even w/o kids, I'm lucky to have him.

  • First, hugs. Second, I didn't think there was anything anyone could say to make you feel better... but, your husband pretty much said the right thing! :) 

     

  • Oh Pineapples, I'm sorry that you're going through this. I'm hoping for a BFP and sticky baby for you too.

    On a different note, haha, enjoy your sex tonight! Love your H's sense of humor.

  • I'm so sorry, ILP.  Your H sounds like a great guy.  Glad he was able to make you laugh when you needed it.  Sending vibes and hugs for you.  
  • Thanks all for your kind wishes.  We just spoke and he asked if it was the right thing to say...how cute.  My life is actually amazing and wonderful in so many ways...I just have to remind myself how blessed I am.

    I'm glad your day is looking up and that your H is just fantastic! I don't know if it is appropriate to ask (but I lack occasional social graces) but if a baby Pineapple is not in the cards, is adopting a little Coconut an option? 

  • I'm SO glad your DH is so funny and sensitive and knows the right line to lift your spirits :)

     That being said, it's really hard to watch the lives of others when they get something you want, EVEN IF you are happy with everything you are already so lucky to have. Sure it won't help to constantly moan about it, but you don't do that at all! Remember that even though you do know how lucky you are to have all you have, it's fine and normal and HEALTHY to validate your own feelings by letting yourself feel blue sometimes.

     xoxoxoxoxox HUG!

    This isn't facebook, so I can't "like" this, but give it a thumbs up instead. Yes Your DH seems great.

  • Oh, pineapples, I'm sorry.  I know you wish them well, but even if you are happy with your life, sometimes it hurts when you see people get something that you want so badly.  I always try to count my blessing, but sometimes it is hard.

    I agree, I think Mr Pineapples wins!!
