I have even started to make up excuses to get out of things just to avoid this feeling. I have no friends that are married without children so I find myself standing on my own island and have no clue where I am fitting in anymore, it is so hard.<br />sending much love to you...cdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174907373129154516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-46723839963728889572011-05-23T22:17:04.947-04:002011-05-23T22:17:04.947-04:00I can relate on many levels to this post.

I sorta dread meeting new people and having to do the 'small talk' bc included is always, how long have you been married? oh, then do you have any kids? are you going to start trying? and I am sure you know the rest! It is terrible! I find myself never asking these questions 1. bc I don't need to hear all about a strangers kids 2. what if they are dealing with IF and hate the question as much as I do?<br />We have to guest rooms, one that is decorated and I LOVE it, the other, is pretty hodge-podge bc we always saw it as the nursery and thought it would have been filled 3 years ago. I envision everything about it...boys room or girls room or twins room! clothes, furniture, rugs, walls, curtains....everything!<br />I read The Help last year....love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-73040933592521531762011-05-23T13:22:19.952-04:002011-05-23T13:22:19.952-04:00I have that same “spare room”.

Then 5 years ago, that spare room transferred over to our house. The closet was used for storage and there was a filing cabinet and some odds and ends. We never went in there. Even now, I find it has been hard to begin to turn it into a baby’s room because there are so many emotions. Thank you for this post, as it has clarified some things for me, and inspired me to write them down. I pray your spare room will become a child’s bedroom very soon.RMCarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444163961125333919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-9268968030302946012011-05-22T23:35:11.295-04:002011-05-22T23:35:11.295-04:00Even though I am no longer in that place, I remem...Even though I am no longer in that place, I remember it so vividly. Anything social sent me into a tailspin. In fact, I wrote a similar post last year:<br /><br />http://eidsonfamilyjourney.blogspot.com/2010/03/less-than.html<br /><br />And our extra room was always just a storage room. I even refused to make it a computer room! I didn't want us to count on an office space when I knew it REALLY should be a nursery. I also felt like the chaos was all that room was worthy of until I could put a baby in there:). <br /><br />Hang in there, girl, happier times will come...hopefully MUCH sooner rather than later:)!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064955747540959696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-70232246517303477332011-05-22T20:08:59.360-04:002011-05-22T20:08:59.360-04:00Ugghhh...

Every single time someone asks us when we plan on having another one (or if we'll try for a boy), I realize that they really won't ever get it. I'm lucky to have this perfect baby. And I hope you'll be blessed with your miracle soon. It makes social gatherings a little more tolerable at least... :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777400850337711004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067490622767117214.post-79718924080910543422011-05-22T19:29:56.208-04:002011-05-22T19:29:56.208-04:00I feel this exact same way.

They are other doing kid friendly activities and don't invite us or just exclude us out of pity. It sucks. Because I feel like a failure and it comes so easy to all of my friends. Ugh.<br />We went to one of my husband's coworker's wedding in September and I asked him the other week if they were going to start trying for a family soon and he told me, Oh, she's already pregnant, due this summer. Are you kidding me?! Sigh.<br />I really want to read "The Help"!! Thanks for recommending it. I saw the trailer last night!Good Timinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057857436371668151noreply@blogger.com
