I guess you get to a certain age, and i guess 31 is that age, when all your friends either have babies or are having babies, or are having trouble having babies. it's odd that in one day one can be so inundated with something. Just today I spoke with a co-worker about her new nephew and the jealousy she is feeling about it. Her sister was pregnant when she wanted to be and now the sister has the prize and my friend is still without. Instead she is faced with a process in doctors' offices and sterile instruments. this while, two of my friends on facebook had appointments today to find out the sex of their babies. And on a sadder note, today i also got a message from one of my oldest and dearest friends about her second miscarriage. within this baby phenomenon there is wrapped so much emotion, so many tears of joy and pain, and jealousy, and longing....etc.
I want one... we want one. we are nesting. The journey we will embark on is exciting, but i am reminded when i look around at my friends that anything can happen...
