Wrestling the green monster again....

It seems that there's another rash of BFP's in my buddy groups again. I don't know why I struggle so much with this. One or two, I can usually handle, but it seems there's one or two every where I turn. Any these are buddies working on #2 or #3. Some are surprises and some were tearfully tried for. I just feel like I'm being left behind again. I know that I'm not and these are wonderful friends who I rejoice and lament with. Most of have been there for me in ways that I can never thank them enough. A few took a few minutes to talk to me before make the big announcement (this extra time of "proccessing" was greatly appreciated). I just struggle, b/c I wonder just how much longer before it's my turn? I also struggle b/c these are women, friends, confidante who are going to be so elated when my little Sarah comes home. So why do I feel so jealous that they are moving on to #2 or #3?? I feel so guilty for feeling as I do. I feel like I don't have the right when they've surpported me through so much crap. When they wait on baited breath, too for that special day when we finally know what Sarah will look like and the day I finally hold her in my arms. I just long for the day when I win the wrestling match with the green monster and never have to fight him over this again......

The great thing is that so many (at least in our group) don't care if you're having to wrestle with the green monster again! And, you know you're not the only one without a baby in the group...

and I still know that you love me... and I am definitely going to rejoice with you over Sarah! Continue to 'be real' my friend. I'm trying to be real too and it's not always easy. Both sides of the fertility fence have their weeds and their flowers. Much love to you as you wrestle through these new announcements.

Lisa - You are right, I'm not the only one. Personally, I don't know where you get your strength from. HUGS!!

Sheri - I try to be real, but I don't want to hurt feelings or make ppl guard their words. You and LISA are among those I feel comfortable sharing the "real" me, b/c you've both (and others) have always been real with me.

Sheri - Yes, there are weeds on both sides. Thank God for the flower that spring up despite the weeds!

Rhonda - {{hugs}} for you my friend. I think you already know that I understand the little green monster all too well. I hope this doesn't sound "bad", but honestly it's nice to hear you say it because so often I feel like such a cry baby. I guess I don't "see" you and Lisa struggle often (which certainly does not mean that you don't) so when I do struggle I just feel like I'm whining again when your both so strong. *sigh* IF does funny things to a persons brain I think.

Heather - I'm not strong. I struggle. A lot more than I let on. You should have seen me rail at God this week. I actually told Him that He was cruel. Naturally, I had a little bit a repenting to do after I was done having my temper tantrum.
