Green.

I was NOT looking forward to yesterday. I was dreading it for a week or so. In fact, it may have inspired a major meltdown/breakdown/pity party I threw for myself on Friday night. Yes, many a tear and sob was shed over several hours the night before. Wait till you hear why...

I had to go to a baby shower, for a baby girl, for someone who started trying after I did. Poor me. I know I am over-dramatizing this situation, but honestly, for me, this was really hard. Let me add, that I do, in fact, really like this couple. It's so dangerous for me to fawn over little, soft, pink, things - things I cannot have.

I want this month on the sidelines to be over. I want to get back to the business of making a baby. Hopefully with some new inspiration from our RE who we see on Friday. Because I really need the inpiration - the 'this is never gonna happen' vibe is making me crazy.

Yep. It happens. I am facing a similar shower sometime in the coming months. And I get to see an old classmate who is due in June this week. Before she moved away, she asked me about prenatal vitamins and any tips I had for babymaking. Ha! How ironic that she got pregnant STRAIGHT AWAY and I still just wishing.

Bah! If only the rest of the world didn't seem to do this so effortlessly!

Feels shitty, I know. Thank goodness we don't do the shower thing here in the UK - bad enough just knowing!

definitely don't feel guilty about the 'green'. acknowledge it b/c it isn't fair! like e. says, ignoring it will make it even worse.

hang in there, you're not alone!
