Actually, I don't think you are being inconsiderate about sharing your pregnancy with us...I just wish I could be right there next to you when you are holding that HPT and it is getting darker, because I have never seen one in person :) !! Actually, I think you are right, the fact it is getting darker is very good. My mom told me when I get pregnant that I should "mind talk" with the baby. Meaning, speak to it and tell it you love it and want it and be at peace with it through your mind. I would tell you to do the same...I know it is weird, but it is no harm. Reading about your sister and her faults sounds aggravating. She really should have offered you a hug, maybe sent a card, encouraged you, asked you how you are feeling, etc. You would almost expect that from a sister. But really since you have been burned by her and she is of no resource or help to you, I don't see any problem with keeping a distance at this juncture. I would be sad too with her behavior, but I would encourage everyone, always, who is going through pregnancy/infertility to not hold on to useless grudges and forgive her shortcomings. We need positive thoughts at all cost you know? So, if keeping your distance affords you more positve thoughts without the negative distractions of your sister's shortcomings, I say that is a good thing. We can never control how others treat us, we can control how we treat ourselves though, so treat yourself good and keep away until time tells you otherwise. Oh, btw, webwomb sucks...:)

Are you sure that you didn't minor in counseling while at journalism school!? You have offerered some great advice to me and to TInk. I read your last post on the 2ww thread. You put it all so kindly to her. And to me. Thanks. My sister and I will probably have a decent relationship in 20 years or so. Once she's retired and can sit back and relfect on her relationships. She works hard and depends on others to raise her kids. She's just so different from me. Her insensitive comments come when least expected. I know she doesn't mean to be insensitive. This is why I overlook and it and keep talking. it just hurts deep down. I don't really show it. I just avoid talking to her! ha ha. So how are you doing? I'm trying to keep up w/ a few of the other threads. To be honest I don't feel really comfortable telling others yipee! i'm pregnant! I know everyone else is suffering and trying desperately to be where I am, but the grass isn't any greener. it's hard to understand I know. I"ll be the silent one for now but I'll let you know how things are going. I will most likely end up back here when things go south. I don't know. I feel better when I've hit 12 weeks or so. ;) Thanks for all your help Linds!
