Luckily, she ...I feel like you wrote about my SIL! Luckily, she was my sister's problem, not mine, as they are much older than me. However, her competitive nature now has her comparing kids and gifts from the grandparents. Your co-worker's SIL should be pitied. She's looking for attention now, but what about when she has a house full of kids that she may or may not really want! It still sucks that semi-infertiles still have enough control over their fertility that they can compete by producing babies!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260723824329854148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-69051196726580594972013-10-20T16:44:48.855-07:002013-10-20T16:44:48.855-07:00Whatever happens with your IVF will most likely ha...Whatever happens with your IVF will most likely have some effect on how you approach the pregnant ladies at work...it kind of depends on what's going on with you and where they are at the same time. If someone announces a pregnancy on the day you get a BFN, ouch. If you're having a good day with lots of follies growing, it might not bother you so much. It's so hard to know, and I've been caught unawares by emotions when I least expect it sometimes. I still don't know ow you do it in your line of work especially!Aramishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275274008426941898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-89003238507196995222013-10-20T08:38:42.150-07:002013-10-20T08:38:42.150-07:00oh, she is! ...and we're not talking art...oh, she is! ...and we're not talking art...jAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282963869813954232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-6086243228483482952013-10-20T08:32:10.879-07:002013-10-20T08:32:10.879-07:00Don't understand the sibling rivalry either. I... Don't understand the sibling rivalry either. I always thought it would be fun to be pregnant at the same time as my sister, and I did finally get to be for a short time. I did feel a little resentful when my 17 year old still in high school brother got his girlfriend pregnant, but that was after 11 years of ttc myself, and I quickly got over it. Crazy that co-worker feels pressure to have more kids when she just had twins!! The SIL does sound like a piece of work.

(Except among Catholics. That I knew) This does not seem like a good reason to keep having kids!?!? At least you are mentally prepared for the possibility - that usually helps me.
