The instructor for my son's music class is different than last semester. I actually used to know her because her son is the same age as mine and we used to do mommy and me swimming lessons together when our kids were in their first year.
Well, now, she has three kids.
The youngest is 4 months old and was apparently a surprise. So in less than 4 years she has had 3 living breathing children.
She is all happy, smiley and sleep deprived.
While I am.....yeah.... a far cry from that I suppose.
She has no idea how different our lives have been over the past three years.

And sadly I'm sure she's content not knowing. Don't compare your life to hers. She may have 3 kids, but that doesn't make her fulfilled.
I guess the sting of the ones who it came so easily to will always be there for us, the ones for whom it didn't.
xxoo
many times i'm confronted with a situation like this- with easy baby havers. it feels talking to an alien. i can't even imagine in my wildest dreams just getting pregnant at will (or not will, but whatever). and those people will many times complain heartily about their fertile condition, and i can't even say i blame them. it must suck (equally? i doubt it) to get pregnant with unwanted children. but the whole issue, the whole thing, is just so fucking foreign to me. even though i did get pregnant once by total surprise, but we all know how that ended.
I just found your blog on babyloss directory. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I don't feel so alone to find others who are also dealing with the loss of children.
peace- emily

Sigh, I know what you mean. A friend's friend just had her second baby this weekend- her second in one year, both born since Hannah. Granted, they have both been very premature and she has her own issues to deal with there, but I can't help but wonder how someone is able to have 2 babies live before I even get one. Then I feel rotten for even thinking that since her son is v. premature and will surely be in the nicu for a few months.
I always get so blindsided by people like that. People have healthy babies? Whenever they want? Where is this universe and how do I join?
