Announcements

Pregnancy announcements used to be the thing I dreaded the most.

To hear someone else say the words I so want to be able to say was like a nightmare for me.
While I am (and always will be) happy for those around me that I love dearly to announce they are pregnant, each announcement was like a knife in the heart for me (that may sound dramatic but the pain that comes with infertility is very intense).

However someone announcing they are pregnant is not the thing I fear most now, it's birth announcements that are now the hardest.
Because you see, for each birth announcement there is, I know that is another 9 months that has past without us falling pregnant.

I can remember each persons announcement and thinking to myself, I'll definitely be pregnant before they give birth....how wrong I have been :(
