The Green Eyed Monster

I finally downloaded an app for my iPhone that allows me to write my posts instead of just reading everyones! So hopefully this works

This week I have been hit with the green eyes monster known as jealousy. Normally I'm not a jealous person. Envious at times sure. Who doesn't get envious when you have friends buying their own home when your stuck in an apt, or when talking to my family and hearing everyone together when I'm so far away. And of course as your typical girl I get envious of my friends new purses, hair styles or clothes. But besides those things I have always been content with what I have. More than content, I love my life and wouldn't trade places with anybody else

But two things lately have made me envious. The first is that all my friends, Including many of y'all are pregant or just welcoming their new born babies. I think that now because I know M and I are at thy point and ready to try for a famiy when he returns I am
Anxious to get started! The other day M calls and the exact words Out of my mouth were "hurry up and get home and make me pregnant". M's response was I hope you didn't say that in front of your parents!!

I am now part of a group where not having kids make me a minority. Just the other day I had all my friends over to lay out by the pool. They all brought along their kids and my friend J and I were the only two without any. For once I felt like I was the one missing out. You know how childless couples claim that it's better to be childfree, how you can come and go as you please and can do whatever you want. Well for once I felt like those excuses were horse poo. Icant wait till we have a little one to bring home, take swimming for
The first time and even change a diaper! So yes I have baby envy

I also am jealous of my bestie here whose Hubby just came home. He had been deployed for 5 months and then came home for a day before leaving again for a 3 mth class in AZ. It's been nice to not be the only single one at our weekend get together and since we had no hubbys at home we have enjoyed quite a few girls nights with many alcoholic beverages being consumed. Now it looks like I will be back to drinking my wine at home. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for her but with my family leaving on Sunday I am sad to be alone again.

Oh well nor too much longer to go till my soldier gets home!

  3. I'm glad I'm not the only one with baby envy. I feel bad, like I shouldn't want to have a kid just to be in "the club," but that's where I'm at.

  6. Aww, I'm sorry you have baby envy so badly. =[ Soon enough though! Just remember that things happen for a reason- maybe this will be what makes you appreciate becoming a mom even more.

  11. I can imagine that having friends who are all having babies is difficult. My friends are all just getting married so I am safe for a while (i think). At least you are ready and not feeling pressured. It will be such a joy!
