hi ladies...
gotta share my lunch from h - e - double hockey sticks....
So on Friday, my girlfriend and I always have lunch together with our children (she has an 18month boy and i have a 3yo girl). She is almost 20 weeks pregnant. I am very very happy for her and found myself not all that jealous (i have my moments of jealousy when AF shows). I was VERY surprised at my lack of jealousy. But anyway, we were meeting for lunch yesterday like usual, and my friend called and said, I hope you don't mind, another friend of mine called me for lunch and i invited her along. I told her I didn't mind, and I didn't.
Well we get to the restaurant and in walks a very very pregnant lady with a little boy. She comes over to our table, and low and behold she is my friend's friend. I thought to myself, oh dear no. So I sat through lunch listening to due dates, future crib purchases, and loads of other baby stuff. At one point (we were at a chinese buffet) i got up to get more food, even though i was full, just to have a break...
When life throws you lemons, how do you make lemonade?

Wow, that's tough. I am sorry it was so crappy. I wish all of our friends could walk in our shoes for just a day so that they could understand how much this process sucks.

I agree that is tough. I'm not sure what I'd do.

That sounds like it was definitly a tough lunch! I've never been in such a sad situation really, but my sister was in a similar situation. Long story short, she was helping plan her best friend's wedding with the help of the ''other best friend'' that my sister knows very well too. Anyways, in Feb, both girls got pregnant, so the last 3 months of wedding planning felt more like baby planning than wedding planning for my sister and she was sooo happy when the wedding was over because she was so depressed after every day she spent with them (my sister has been TTC #1 with no luck for almost 6 years now!). It sucks that even the best of friends can be so insensitive in such a situation! Thankfully, none of my closest friends are PG now, but I don't know how I would handle it.
Sorry you had such a crappy lunch Lynda! Wish I could have lunch with you next friday, that way you wouldn't have to relive it!

Ugh, I'm so sorry that you had to sit through that when you were just looking forward to lunch with your friend. I really don't know what I woudl do in that situation either, but you probably were far more composed that I would have been!

I am so sorry - we all need to get together and invite a bunch of preggos that don't understand and talk infertility, tests, OPK's, fertility meds, etc and see how they feel.
Big HUGS to you Lynda!

I feel for you! My sis just found out she is pregnant and so is a family friend who watches my daughter after school and there are tons of ladies at the church with newborns! Plus my coworker who sits next to me just gave birth 2 months ago. I hate it. I hate the heartbreak.

I would go to that lunch! I know that my preggo friends just don't get it. They're all happy and glowing and just assume that we all want to hear every detail.
