Just venting today...
What is it about 2007 that's causing so many people to be pregnant? I don't think it has anything to do necessarily with the Golden Pig year, though I'm sure people are happy about it if their family is Asian.
I'm happy for them all, just a little sad inside for me. I hate always feeling like I've been left out. I don't want to believe that I'm never going to have children because it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it just feels that way more and more.
Jan: Les (2nd)
Feb: Professor (1st), EV (1st)
March: Sister (1st), Eeyore (2nd), Bragh (1st)
May: Bball (3rd), EH (2nd)
June: Nvy (2nd)
And I'm thinking there will be another three in the second half of the year (all firsts). [sigh]
I have three birthday party invites and one offer to go skiing for the next two weekends. All of which are from couples. Whooppeee (you can't see my face but it's a smirk). I feel like an outcast because the majority of the people who attend these things are now couples. I hate it, but I feel like I should go to the parties because they are my friends. It's lonely despite the smiles and laughs they see when I'm there.
Enough self-pity, I've got work to do. (Note, when you move a meeting up by a day, you might want to tell the presenter before you decide to move it so that she'll have it ready in time!!)

I'm not sure exactly how old you are but it sounds like you're at the age where everyone starts having babies. I suppose it's the natural progression of things. After being married for a few years, people start procreating.
Sorry - I know it must be hard for you (thankfully we are past that stage in our lives since most of our friends have already had their kids, now if only we could have one).
It'll happen for you - and I know it sounds cliche but probably when you least expect it.
I have a girlfriend who didn't get married until she was 37 (to a guy 7 years younger than her!). She's 39 now and just got pregnant!
Thanks for the attempt to inspire me. I'm probably about the same age as you +/- a little.
It's especially hard when people younger than myself comment, "I want to have my second one soon. I'm already [insert age younger than myself], I'm getting to old to have kids." I know why they say it, I agree in principle. It's just frustrating that I can't do anything about it (not unless I go a non-traditional route).
