This weekend I am meeting up with some girlfriends from University.
Three friends who all announced their first pregnancy around the same time. D and I had been ttc for about a month so, although I was slightly jealous that they were already on the path to parenthood, I wasn't overly bothered because I had hopes that we would be expecting a baby soon too. Anyway, their 'babies' will be turning two over the next couple of months and I know from our last get together , earlier in the year, that they are all trying for their second.
So, this weekend I am expecting round two of baby announcements.
However, it turns out that I don't have to wait until Saturday because today I received an email from one of those friends. She is in the early stages of her second pregnancy and has been worrying about telling me. I love this friend. She is so thoughtful of others and always knows what to say. She has been worrying about this since I sent her an email telling her how our appointment at the infertility clinic went. To be honest, she took over two weeks to respond to my email (which is unlike her)so I had kind of guessed.
I was really looking forward to Saturday but now I'm not sure that I can face it. Please don't let there be any other announcements as I'm really not sure that I can take it in my present state of mind. I thought this was meant to get easier, not harder.

Announcements are the hardest. I think finding out about a new pregnancy is even harder. it's never easy. Take a deep breath, and keep the faith that it will be you one day. ICLW
I luv that your friend emailed you first, to prep you. I hate face to face announcements. What I hate worse though is being faced with a belly I didn't know would be there.
I've got friends who have lapped me twice now, so yea, I get it. It freakin blows.
