At the beginning it’s all fun. You start trying. You know you have friends who might or might not be trying, and soon enough, the pregnancies slowly start to be announced.
It may be a close friend (who promises that it will be your turn next) or a colleague, an acquaintance, or even an internet friend.
But it’s cool. You’re excited for them, knowing that your turn will be just around the corner.
You wait months; each cycle drags on. Months turn into years, and before you know it, bundle of joy number two is on its way for those friends and acquaintances.
It happened to me twice today. Lapped. Just like that.
The first was like a punch to the stomach – like the breath had been knocked out of me. I wasn’t expecting it, and was under the impression that they had finished babymaking. I got over it pretty quickly – it was more of a shock that she was pregnant, not that I wasn’t, if that makes any sense.
The second wasn’t so much of a shock. In fact I was just about to ask my partner if she was pregnant again, before he told me the news – the husband is his friend.
So there you go. Lapped twice in one day! I don’t feel bad, just envious. If life went according to plan, we would be trying for our second baby now too.
