It’s Just Another Manic Monday

wishtobeamommy2_thumWell, I survived another childless weekend but I had to avoid the big bash baby shower of the year that took place on Saturday. I did send a $100 gift certificate though which is the going rate for I feel guilty and ashamed for not being there but i’m happy for you, really…I have noticed a slow pattern of disconnect beginning to emerge between myself and my pregnant friends, or even friends with babies. I wonder how long that can go on for…I can’t really avoid them forever, can I?  How does everyone deal with this?  I really need to know how people get through every single day while watching the world around you get pregnant-

My confession for the day: it’s tempting to disengage from all pregnant friends and family members…

    I too agree with you. Its very, very difficult… no doubt. I am a business owner who has a person who works with me. She told me last week that she was pregnant. Immediately, that through me into a 4 day deep depression. I too have experienced all too often, that all the women around me are able to get pregnant and they do invite me to their baby showers. I DO NOT ATTEND BABY SHOWERS! In this fragile state that I am in, I have to be careful… and guard my heart and my own feelings. I just can’t deal with it… and in most situations… I choose not too! Its hard enough just to make it one day at a time… in which there are commercials on TV, neighbors pregnant or walking their babies, grocery stores… etc. We are surrounded by this overly agitating issue! It never goes away. I am yet to experience the old cliche’ that time makes things better! THAT’S just a flat out LIE!! In this situation, time… makes things worse. I too have disengaged from all pregnant friends and family too.
