I hate you Facebook

I've been atomically lapped, twice over.

My friends J and M are expecting their second in June. They met after us, got married a year after us and now will have two children before we even conceive one.

I hate being barren. I would've gladly given up the trip to the mall after school as well as the new yoga clothes for a baby. I'd give up my disposable income and even trips to the spa.

I'm tired of being left behind.

Prayers please! I wish this didn't bother me as much as it does, but it hurts, a lot.

  1. I really wish that did not happen to you today, facebook is not cool and most of the time its downright hurtful. I know you would give up all those things for a baby, and I know you would be the BEST at raising a baby. I will pray for you, I promise.....I always do, but I will pray harder.

  3. I've been there. Yup. The year we stopped trying to get pregnant, a friend had twins and two others had babies, all using Clomid, which I had tried too. Sheesh. I've been in that pit, and I dug out, and so will you.

  5. Total drag, man. I know logically we know it's not a race, but sometimes it feels like it, right? Hugs.

  7. Amen sister. That sucks. I noticed the other day that DH's ex (who's married to an old friend of mine) is on #2 (#1's not even 1 yet) and I just though, hmm if you had married her you'd be on kid #2 by now. Sucks.

  9. The same thing happened to me too, Except it was three couples expecting their second...I know in about 8 months they'll announce they're expecting their thirds....they all like them 2 years apart. I'll keep you in my prayers, I know how hard this is!

  22. Oh JB, I am sooooo sorry. I felt like you a couple weeks ago and am just coming out of my funk. I HATE HATE HATE facebook. It is a constant reminder of all my high school/sorority sisters who all have perfect children and families and pictures to show for it. I am thinking of deleting my account.lol

  23. Just catching up on your blog;

    I'm so sorry! The atomic lap is the worst, and twice over. I think feeling isolated and left behind is one of the hardest parts of IF. I more easily could come to terms with not having children, but being alone and left behind, that is harder for me.

    Praying for you.
