[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got an invitation to a close friend's second baby shower in 2 years. We recently got the news that our chances of natural conception are extremely low after trying during the same 2 year period. I helped throw her first shower because she was an unwed mother and her family was extremely disapproving. I did everything I could to be supportive and make her feel like her child was special and loved. She's now married to the father and they are expecting their second child.

Part of me wants to be a good friend and be just as excited for this baby as the last, but part of me is also really jeolous, and part of me is judging [b]how tacky it seems to have 2 baby showers, a bridal shower, and a wedding in the span of two years, coupled with the fact that they could barely afford the kid they currently have, yet actively tried for another. [/b]

I know that I should suck it up, buy a gift, and be there for my friend, but I'm sad and jeolous, and a little angry that she can get pregnant whenever she is so irresponsible in this regard, can get pregnant so easily, and expects us all to throw more gifts at her. Advice? [/quote]

This.  Be annoyed.  Infertility sucks.[/quote]
