I know it is incredibly selfish of me to say so, but...I am really worried my brother and his wife are going to have another baby the same time we're planning on having Pickle. They had their first baby last year, and they say they want to plan their second kid to be about two years apart from the first. So now they have been talking about trying for their second baby in the spring. But that's exactly when we're planning on trying for Pickle!!! The only thing is, we aren't announcing it to everyone until we are actually pregnant. But if they get pregnant before us, then our announcement will be lost in all the celebration of the other baby. Either way, it bugs me that I will more than likely be pregnant the same time as my sister -in-law. Nothing would agitate me more than always being compared to her, having to share every baby moment like some sickeningly fake sentimental feminine bonding experience! Bleh! I can just see it; we try to go visit my parents and instead, I'm being made to pose in pictures with my sister-in-law with our pregnant bellies touching! No thank you!!!
I know I'm worrying over something that might not happen, but I can't help but feel a bit disgruntled by it all. I want my baby to have some of the fun and attention! I want my pregnancy to be celebrated on it's own and not as a runner up to my brother's second baby. But I have that sinking feeling that, at some point, they are going to be pregnant at the same time as us. Let the drama begin!
All the world's a stage and all the pregnant women are merely actors....sorry Pickle but the curtain falls on us for I fear the lime light is about to be stolen.
