I've never been a jealous person. At least not outwardly. I've had my struggles recently with accepting pregnant people and being happy for them. I thought once I was pregnant, that it would get better.
But it hasn't.
I've found out recently that two other women are pregnant and due several weeks after me. I don't really know these women, but in a small town, circles overlap, so everyone knows everyone.
I guess it seemed like no one was pregnant for so long and then once I become pregnant, so is everyone else. Maybe its just a heightened sense of awareness. Maybe not. I'm glad to know that Olive will have other kids her age that come from families we know.
But I just feel bummed that all the pregnancy talk isn't just about me. That's really selfish. I hate that.
