Petty jealousy
The MOH in my wedding used to be my best friend. When we met years ago she was engaged to one of my coworkers. They got married a year later, and not three weeks into the marriage she got pregnant with their best man's baby. (Her husband was in the marines and wasn't home, and the best man stayed with her after the wedding.) She stayed with and dated the best man for about two years, they have a daughter, he's psycho and they broke up for good about two months before my wedding.
A week after my wedding she started dating a new guy who is nice enough but is a bit controlling. Six months of dating and they got engaged (she's still technically married). Some time in the spring last year, she got pregnant and miscarried. She would have been happy to have the baby, but it was kind of a relief that she mc because their financial/housing situation. In late July they moved in together, about an hour and a half away from me. Because she's so far away, we fell out of touch.
She and I were FB messaging back and forth yesterday and she told me she's pregnant again. And again it's an unplanned pregnancy. I don't know why she doesn't grow up and use birth control. They're so poor that they don't have cell phones or internet (she uses fb at the clubhouse of their complex) and her mom has to help pay their rent sometimes. She doesn't work and hasn't for as long as I've known her.
I'm so freakin jealous that she's pregnant. I mean, it's my choice that I'm not, we wanted to get our finances in order and buy a house and all that stuff before we did. We're being responsible, and she's not, but I'm so jealous!
And yes, I realize no part of that is logical.
It will, however be fun to be pregnant together if DH and I get pregnant quickly. And they might move closer so she and I could hang out with our newborns.
Yes I'm crazy...
Re: Petty jealousy
You and DH waiting until the Right time to get pregnant is a very honorable thing to do. You are setting your children up for the best start in life you can give them. So don't feel jealous of your friend, feel proud of yourself.
