The last couple of days have been...interesting. On the one hand, I've been smiled and grinned at by an alarmingly large amount of little people (can you say heart-breaking?). On the other hand, I went shopping today and, while trying on clothes, was subjected to what I can only refer to as hyena-like screeching. Then there was the highly pregnant woman holding the hand of a little girl wobbling along, barely just having learned how to walk (and there she is already pregnant again).
I don't know what to say. I'm just sad and empty.

I understand those shopping days. I remember this past Christmas happily shopping for tree ornaments when I saw a woman buying a "Baby's First Christmas" ornament. I had to pull my cart into an aisle to catch my breath and let a few tears out. I know nothing helps at this point but try to take comfort in the fact that you are not alone and everything you feel is valid.
Yes! I understand this so clearly. Seeing people pregnant just reminds me that I can't get pregnant... or that I haven't succeeded thus far.
It's amazing how many of my friends are now expecting, and most of them are saying that they weren't even planning it, or it was an accident. I snuggle up to them, and hope I catch whatever baby making disease has them so uptight about the unexpected new bundle of joy.
