I think I should've been the star of "27 dresses". Except in my version, it would be a closet full of pregnant women. And, instead of buying them, I'd kidnap them to save infertile women from dealing with their crap.
Yes, of course I'd let them go if they went in to labor. Geez, what kind of person do you think I am?!
To get back to my point, the neverending cycle of hearing about other people getting pregnant continues. Remember in my last post how I celebrated that all of the pregnant women were now gone from the office? Well, that lasted, what? 2 days? Phew -- what a break that was!
I found out today that yet another girl is expecting in the office. You'd think I worked in the Pentagon with 5,000 employees. How can there possibly be SO many pregnant people in such a small space?! We have 85 people in the office for crying out loud and 1/2 of them are men!
So, new mommy has been puking her guts out every day. Awwwwww. I'm SO sorry. She also thinks she's hiding her misery by going in to the last stall.
Um. I hate to be the one to break this to you but, we can ALL hear you. Every last disgusting hurl. The last stall doesn't have sound proof walls. So, when you come out to wash your hands and you THINK you just had a private moment, you might as well just come clean. You aren't fooling anyone.
She's the ripe old age of 24 and just got married about 3 months ago. She made it very public they'd start trying right away. Of course, it happened on the first try. Bitch.
So, I made nicey nicey talk with her and then decided I needed to de-stress so I went and got a manicure and pedicure after work. Hel-lo! My nail lady is also pregnant!
Seriously, God. Is there some sort of lesson I'm supposed to be learning here? If I'm being plain stupid, you might have to just knock me upside the head because I'm not really appreciating the subtle little hints you're leaving me. But, can you do it when it's convenient? Because I'd really hate to lose control of my car or something.
OK, I'm putting my serious face on now.
I should get the results of my thyroid test tomorrow. I'm really hoping my levels are still OK. We tried so hard to get me within the normal range so I could start IVF. Part of the problem was that I developed something called Post-partum thyroiditis after the ectopic. Nice. It was the gift that keeps on giving.
Anyway, it gives the appearance that the TSH levels are higher or lower than they actually are. So, I'm hoping that I'm even more regulated after being on the medication for awhile and all of the old, worthless pregnancy symptoms are long gone and not affecting anything.

Ugh. Seriously Suzanne, that sucks. It's so hard to see people having all the things you don't have (yet). I hate being mean and jealous of perfectly nice people, and I don't want to turn bitter, but I don't know how to swallow my feelings. Just know you are far from alone.
I try very hard to not feel jealous or depressed when I find out others are pregnant, but what's hardest for me to deal with are those who announce that they're gonna start trying and then instantly become pregnant - that's like such a slap in the face for me...sorry you have to deal with this. :(
