I've had a lot of pregnancy announcements around me lately and as much as I squeal with excitement, ask them a thousand questions, and listen to all of their details and worries, I still have that little voice that quietly whispers...I want that to be me, my turn! Hehehe.

Seriously though, I'm the only female cousin on my dad's side of the family who isn't pregnant. They're all due next summer and I'm sitting here, still waiting. Pretty much every single friend of mine who wants to be pregnant, is pregnant. The only person who wasn't pregnant with me was my best friend, but she announced her pregnancy to me last night. She's going to be the best mom in the world and I'm almost as excited for her as I know I'll be for us when it's our turn. And I said it several times - and meant it - that I wanted her to get pregnant more than I wanted me to get pregnant. She's been trying for longer and she's been getting so frustrated with it.

So...now that every female I know irl who wants to get pregnant is in fact pregnant, I'm sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my turn to come up. It has to be soon, right? I mean, heck, there's no one else in my life who's standing in the line! :) :) :)

Edit: I always feel like an @$$ when I read my impatient posts. I wanted to add that I know I haven't been trying nearly as long as a lot of people out there and I don't mean to make light of anyone's situations or make it seem like I understand what others are going through who have tried for years. I'm hoping for baby dust for all of us. God bless!

erindira....we can be the only two non-pregnant girls we know, together.  I feel the same way.  Aside from some of my friends that are younger than me, everyone has or is having a baby. 

*Hugs* I guess we just have to believe it will all come in good time, which is hard, I know!

I feel exactly the same way.  DH and I have decided to start trying on our one year anniversay (april), but I am dying to be pregnant NOW! April cant come fast enough.  I see preggos everywhere I go and I get a tear in my eye ALL the time. I am driving him crazy at times. We both really want kids, but the timing will work out better for our lives and his school schedule if we wait until April to start trying. I know this logically, but it still does not help my emotional side. I am going to be 32 next month and my clock is ticking, LOUDLY!!! I keep secretly hoping that I will accidently end up pregnant. 

Trust me, you are not the only one who feels this way. One of my BM just had her baby 4 weeks ago, and I am VERY happy for them because they had a lot of trouble getting pregnant and ended up having to do IVF, but I am still a little jealous that she has her baby and we are not even trying yet. That is why this group is so great. You can confess your thoughts to your internet friends that you might not feel comfortable saying to your real life friends. Hang in there.

Half of my married friends don't want to have kids, or don't want to think about it until they're like 38.  The other half have kids already.  I do have one friend that just started trying last month, and to be honest, I'm a little worried that she'll get pregnant first!  I'll be happy for her, but I know I'll feel like such a failure when that happens.  My period is supposed to come tomorrow, and I'll really be crushed if I see red again! Ugh!

Yes! My two best friends, SIL, and EVERYONE at work is pregnant. It's in the water lol!

Um...yes..what really ticks me off is that we've been trying for 4 months now and nothing, yet a few of our friends decided to start trying recently, and all of them seemed to get pregnant right away.  Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy for them, but come on!  Our best man and his wife started trying less than a month ago--and she's 17 days pregnant!!  Grrr...

I'm in the minority... only 1 friend of mine is pregnant, which she claims was accidental, and she's rushing a wedding for December 12th so she can have the baby in wedlock. She's due in May. As far as I know... no one else is! I'm hoping to be the next on expecting a baby, but we're not TTC quite yet, hopefully in a few months!

Im wanting to start TTC now, but Im in SIL's wedding in June and dont want to be 8 months pregnant for that. We will start TTC in January.

The weirdest thing is everyone around me is pregnant but they are all not planned!

I know 3 people with small babies (<6 months old), and I know 2 pregnant girls (1 accident due in May, 1 on purpose due in Jan), and I have 2 friends that are also TTC, one since last Dec, one since May.  It would be awesome to be pregnant with my friend that is due in May since she is one of my BFs, but it would be great to be pregnant with the other 2 that are trying because we are close too (obviously since we all know the others are trying)!
