Announcement
A dear friend who often chided me for being down about trying for "only 2 years," and who was married 4 years after we were, just had a baby girl. What a horrible/wonderful swarm of love, envy, good will and bitterness these things are.

Isn't that the truth. You want to be sad and happy at the same time. Joyous and angry. It can be so frustrating. Hang in there!
Oh - just a knife in the gut twisted in a little deeper. I am sorry and thinking of you
Good and bad all at once, confusing isn't it.
I struggled (that is relly putting it lightly) when others around me got pregnant, had showers, gave birth and had birthday parties for little ones.
It's a toughie, we'll be rewarded someday - don't give up. Hang in there!
I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. It is so difficult to deal with those conflicting emotions. I don't think most people intend to be hurtful but it's tough to hear that kind of "advice" from a friend.
Ugh. Fertile friends are tough. Ignorant fertile friends are the worst.
Chiding. Why must people chide?

Thanks so much ladies. It means a lot. And Bea - I'm with ya. Hate the chiding. Though I know I've probably done it too.
