Cangrats Barbi

I knew for the last several months that it might be a possibility. Both my friends Brit and Barb have been trying for their second. I have tried to mentally prepare myself for this to happen. And yet, still nothing prepares you for that phone call...
Aside from her parents my best friend has not told anyone as she is 9 weeks along and wants to have her first ultrasound before telling siblings & friends. But she wanted to tell me. I could hear in her voice she was worried about telling me. I asked her when her due date was, if they are stepping up house hunting questions, joked asking about how they found out. I tried to be as upbeat as I could be, and I think I pulled it off pretty well. That is of course until I hung up the phone. I'm sure its because I'm on cd2 and fairly emotional. I'm sure it's also because since this is finally our IUI cycle I have higher expectations. I'm sure it's also because she knows all about out IF struggles and know this is the cycle I've been waiting for and asked where we were with that. Because I can't be that person that can't be happy for her best friend. I can't be. Jeff held me while I cried for about ten minutes. And now that it's an hour later I'm OK but still have a tear welling in my eye as I write this. I asked him, why is it so simple for everyone else? He reminded me of my friend Lauren who is also struggling with IF and the bump girls. He said "It's not everyone else. And it will be our turn soon." I can only hope.
