...just how many visibly pregnant women there are out there?
Sheesh!
Don't know if today was just an abnormality or what, but boy oh boy, I'm surrounded!
Doesn't help that I work in a building with a massive OB/GYN practice. Bellies everywhere. Strollers on the elevator every second trip.
In some ways it's helped de-sensitize me to the entire thing. But on bad days, it's like the universe is hauling off to give me a good swift kick to the ovaries.
Not cool.
Thankfully today is not a bad day because I totally could have had a breakdown if it was. Everywhere I turned, mine eyes immediately found a baby bump. Finally on my way home I just gave in to my book and refused to look up.
Of course it wasn't to end there. A friend (another gal with fertility issues) and I went to the new Kitchen Stuff Plus store near us and boom - first thing we see, a very pregnant woman. In a bright orange shirt, no less. How were we NOT supposed to see her? Hahahaha.
Funny how strangers do it, but not friends - thank goodness! I have three close friends who are pregnant right now and I have absolutely no issues whatsoever seeing them, talking to them, nothing. So happy for all of them. And we're going to visit another friend's week old newborn tomorrow - can't wait!
Friends yes - strangers no.
Sounds like words to live by across the board!
Have I mentioned how happy I am that there are only 11 more days of Marvelon? Hate the stuff. Makes me cranky. ;)

After 2 losses, it really sucks that I work across the street from an u/s clinic!! I feel your pain :)
just happened along your blog... and I've subscribed because I really want to follow your journey. I can tell you have a lot of love to give to your family, so please know my thoughts are with you!
.. and yes, the bellies are EVERYWHERE.
I can totally relate. When my hubs tells me not to think about babies, bellies seem to pop up out of know where.
Totally agree - Friends yes - strangers no.
