Well, yesterday I posted this blog about being okay. Well, I am... but there have been some rough patches since that post as well. Yesterday, I went home from work sick... Emotionally exhuasted and sick with a stupid sinus infection. I was mad that nothing seemed to be going right, but really I just needed some rest and medicine. Ryan was wonderful and he picked Brycen up from daycare and took him to his dr. appt (b/c he's sick too!). The dr. gave us both medicine, even though I wasn't there. I was very thankful for this, but our family dr. is my OB as well, so obviously he knew what I was going through, and the thought of going back to the dr's office this week just made me sicker. So anyway, we got our medicine and my spirits were getting higher... then my best friend at work called (the one who is pregnant). She had her first sonogram yesterday (which I was supposed to call her and check to see how things went, but with not feeling well it totally slipped my mind). I am SOO excited for her. She has never had a baby before and is 28. She is great with kids, and has yearned for one for a long time, so I am super excited for her. BUT it also just made me sad for myself. She is due September 24, we would of only been 4 weeks apart in our due dates... we were so excited about being pregnant together. Now I know she is scared to talk to me about things, even though I do want her to, I don't want to feel left out of her pregnancy, even though it does hurt if I think about it too much... I don't even know if I'm making sense, but I just need to get this out... I feel like I'm being mean when I feel sad, even though I know it's completely normal. It seems that everyone around me is pregnant... When it took us seven months to get pregnant I thought that was the worst ever, when everyone kept telling me they were pregnant, I just wanted to be able to share the same happy news... and then we did... and then we only got to be happy for a week. :( I know this probably sounds like a pity party, if you have even made it this far with out thinking I'm obnoxious. I don't want to throw myself a pity party, but I'm just trying to make some sense of how I feel. My sister in law is 35 weeks along now. Her mucous plug came out yesterday morning, so we'll be having a new niece soon. I'm super excited for a new niece to love on, but it still hurts. They started trying the same month we did, and she got pregnant that first month. I just have all these "what ifs" and "why Gods". I HATE HATE HATE feeling like I'm questioning God. I don't want to, I DO trust Him, but I just have all these questions and emotions and feelings running through my head. Things that I don't want to say out loud. Anyway... enough of my complaining and whining and crying for today... I hate being so negative.
On a postive note, B slept in his bed for the THIRD night in a row last night! Go B!! I miss snuggling him up in the mornings, but I know he is SO proud of himself and that makes me even prouder of him! Love this boy to pieces!!

You are doing great!! I'm glad you are blogging and I love the new colors :)
Thank you!!
Chelsa, I had to come check out your blog after your very sincere and heartfelt comment that brought tears to my eyes. This entry summed up how I've felt the last, I don't know how long, about other's getting pregnant. I AM happy and I try to be supportive, loving and prayerful for their pregnancies. At the same time, I will be on my way home or have just hung up the phone and I sob, not even just cry or tear up, sob for myself. Feeling guilty once the emotion passes but knowing I had to get the emotions out what ever it says about me.
I was hesitant at first about blogging about these emotions because I wasn't altogether comfortable feeling them. I just knew I felt worse, isolated and not understood the more I kept it all inside. The blog has been very therapeutic for me. I don't know what other's think that aren't going through reading it, but I also know when I received your comment it seems all worth it just to know I'm not alone.
Thank you, I pray God's comfort, peace and blessings for you and your family during this journey.
