You are a lucky girl (and you managed to get me all weepy with adoration of your relationship.)

Hey Emily, good to hear from you!! I’ve been wondering how you were. This is a busy time of year for me too (year end reporting). Kinda takes the joy out of the season sometimes, doesn’t it? :p

Not sure how I missed your post. it never occurred to me that the Catholic Guilt syndrome combined with IF might have made all this even harder. I go through fits and starts with FB. I find myself hiding those who are currently pregnant and constantly posting the state of the pregnancy. I cringe when a classmate from high school or college connects and sometimes have to stop myself from looking.

the worst part? I realized that while I was writing on FB on a pic-comment thread. I know what you are referring to, I think. And if I felt bad before, I really feel like a jerk now. If I’m wrong, I still feel guilty. (12 yrs catholic school here!)
I’m sorry for being insensitive-sounding…I don’t know what else to say.
hugs?

What an awful and horrible thing to do to a child. I’m so sorry that that happened to you.
IF does make you feel like a failure. It did me-but it’s not like it’s your fault. Maybe when you think such an ABSURD thought-remind yourself–”That you deserve a healthy and happy baby.” Because ya’ do. (I don’t think that merely thinking that will mkae it come true–but it replaces a horrible mistruth with the truth. And keeps you from having unfair and negative thoughts.

“You’ve gained weight! Are you pregnant?”
ACK! Even on their own those statements are unacceptable! I’d flip if somebody said those words to me and probably punch them while shrieking “I’m infertile and I sorrow snack that’s why I’m so FAAAAAT!” I’m not mentally very stable and the idea of wearing a headband that says “poor me” on it is actually somewhat appealing.
I too have the facebook hate moments. Lots of them.

I never went to parochial school, but this rang true for me too. A few of my high school friends already have kids in college. I’m just waiting for the first grandchild announcement (we’ve already had one of those recently from dh’s cousin, who is two years YOUNGER than me….!!).
